Tomorrow

My class, which is usually on Wednesdays, has been moved to tomorrow.

My department's monthly Chinese-lunch-bonding-session is tomorrow.

My shiny new laptop is due to arrive tomorrow.

This is all very well, but what I'm going to be doing tomorrow is sewing in London. Which is a good thing, because it involves seeing someone I like very much, as well as turning a large amount of extremely beautiful fabric into a Regency frock. But still. I can't help but feel a bit cheated that I can't do *all* of these fun things.

In other news:

• Friday's annoyingness was mostly the result of a misunderstanding
• I have blisters, but I'm glad I went
• One of the three people arrested is my colleague's daughter's friend
• I now have a witch's hat
• Feeder are not as interesting as I had hoped

Names again

I'm fascinated by names, as you probably know. So I was pleased to see that Slashdot has an article about names, which, amongst other things, links to this page, which lets you see how the popularity of your name has changed over time. Mine, unsurprisingly, is in the top ten for every set of data I looked at.

There are some odd and some surprising names in the most popular list for 2001, including, for example, Destiny, at 22nd most popular name for a girl, and Isaiah at number 45 for boys.

Tell me about the rise and fall of your name...
