Random Thoughts are Here Again

tysolnaI've had lunch in the University eating place today (Mensa? Canteen? Commons? Refectory? So many names for one and the same thing). I've not eaten there for a long time, but today I was there at the right time, and hungry, so I had half a plate of vegetarian Curry with lots of vegetables and Tofu (soy bean curd?).
I soon realized I probably have a food allergy, because I haven't felt this sick for exactly the same time that I haven't eaten at the Mensa. Whatever it is they put in their food, it disagrees vehemently with my stomach. So instead of the planned afternoon in the library, I was forced to head home a lot sooner than I had expected. It will be some time until I eat anything there again, with the possible exception of salads.
The cat's currently on my writing desk, hunting the mouse pointer and making a mess of my typing. I'm going to shoo him off by taking a picture, he doesn't really like the flash. And here's the culprit himself, taken two minutes ago at time of writing:
He's now lying on my bed, looking innocently asleep.
Work on the PhD is progressing, even though it is as usual not going as fast as I would like on the one hand, and on the other hand not going fast enough because I am always letting myself be distracted, or rather, distracting myself.
Finally, a strange thing happened to me last night. I was watching LotR:FotR again, first disc, with the commentary by the actors, and then the writing team, relaxing and doing my knitting, when all of a sudden I realized that I was actually fast asleep with my eyes open while still knitting. It is not the first time I have fallen asleep watching TV, but this time it felt as if most of my brain was asleep, while a tiny part was awake, keeping my eyes open and moving my hands, counting the rows so I could add stitches as required. Now, if I could only write in my sleep as well...
