Heat! Bats! Sonic lipstick! Bubo!

Today's forecast was for 70 degrees, and that would probably have been the warmest day this year just like that, but instead it was... 84! A local record for this date! Naturally I resumed my pet practice of reading articles outside, which was odd without the cottonwood for shade. Abruptly, the world is again full of flying insects. I might have a bit of a sunburn. I read a long thing about empathy, and the Nagel "What Is it Like to Be a Bat?" essay.

Also we watched the first of the Sarah Jane Adventures, which was fine except for the soppy music they played when she introduced her computer. I want a sonic lipstick! We played an online word game with D. for hours, and later we introduced him to Clash of the Titans.
