Should I really be awake right now?
And who the heck does construction at 11am!? Oh wait…
Grrrrrrrr…..
Time for water and breakfast
“If we cannot learn to …take a positive delight in those small differences between our own kind, here on this planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out there.”
...Come on people, keep your friends close — your enemies won’t matter in the end.

Enough of that for now.
Bedtime way past… The noisy garbage truck will be out in a couple short hours..
Was a nice brief rainstorm I was awake for, though…
Productive today. But much real work to do tomorrow.
Goodnight!

So hot.

I’m grateful for the good people in my life. Not just the fun ones, useful ones, or close ones, but the fundamentally good ones.
Enjoyed the blackout last week.. a nice setting for dinner and chatting by candlelight..
I played with fire. I like doing that. I also tried roasting marshmellows but they didn’t turn out so impressively (not enough space/height in the setting of the flames). Still fun, though.
Starting to see a pattern of what works and what doesn’t. That’s helpful.
I don’t sleep-in lately. Sleeping fine.. but lingering in bed in mornings when that’s an option ends up not working out. I guess that’s good.
Been eating sooo much lately.. Such good food at each meal… Sashimi, basil chicken, sesame chicken, brussel sprouts (surprisingly good.. compliments to the chef), pork, lamb and beef steaks barbequed, ice cream (in between meals)…
Wawson’s bday!
A quarter of a century old today and living half a day in the future of the future of the Western hemisphere… I’m very glad to know you’re happy and well, though far away, and wish you a happy happy birthday and year and the next and the others.
Heaven’s not a place that you go when you die — it’s that moment in life when you actually feel alive..
Excellent song.. been a while since I’ve heard it.. grabbed me easily again when it came up on random; first time I fully paid attention to it.. Listen to the whole story!
Dashboard Confessional – Currents
Wayne – Whisper
The Album Leaf – Streamside
The Decemberists – Red Right Ankle (I get it now)
Been in a Decemberists/Album Leaf mood.. I think I came upon those two around the same time, ages ago. They fit well together.
Shiny was the first song that locked me for the Decemberists, I think.. and On Your Way for Album Leaf.
Decemberists’ storytelling would be especially appreciable at The Birchmere or similar.
Weather’s been really nice this summer.
So tomorrow’s August. Not sure what to say about that.
Things change. Or else never were.
I’m confused by the Transformers trailer. Are they supposed to be aliens? :-? Or maybe the Autobots and Decepticons are Cylons, camped out on a nearby planet, priming for attack?
Good and relevant quote:

‘Most of you probably think this entry has got to be a joke. The rest of you have actually watched the show.’” (Best of Television, 2005)
Quote of the day:
“They would twirl the emotional kaleidoscope until it gave them a picture that was comfortable.” source
