The Flaming Lips "escape from Oklahoma" for a music festival in Paris, Le Monde says. How's that for French snobbery? The festival is next week, which is our spring break. Unfortunately the library remains open, or maybe I could have gotten one of those cheap flights to Amsterdam and hopped a train to Paris. Right.

Ugh, it's Friday, which means another weekend to get through. I suppose a lot of people dislike their job and enjoy their time off, but I find myself in the opposite situation. Since a job takes up so much time, perhaps it's not a bad deal.
