ain't doin' jack...

sheesh, it's summer, and i've been working to hard (up to about 3am working on a project - i thought teachers got the summer off...) i got some stuff i could, and possibly should be working on, but i think i am off duty until next tues...

my wife and older daughter are at an amusement park. my younger and i don't really find them amusing (the parks, that is...not my wife and older daughter) so i think we're going to have a lazy day. just finished a rousing game of LIFE, looking for some lunch (hmmmm, week old pizza or spaghetti? or day old chinese food that seemed to cause everyone issues, in varying degrees?) and listening to solex, my recent favorite. i also see some fire pro wrestling 2 in my future... and, who knows, i am a magazine junkie, so i'll prob dive into some...i have been making cards lately off my photos and i think i'm going to make my own invitations for our summer party (how martha stewart of me) - i am prepping for craft corner death match (secret to get guys to like a craft show - give it a pro wrestling feel) - a recent favorite tv show - love the swarmy host , fear and worship the craft lady of steel and revel in the ennui of the show's ingenue (lordy, i can sure turn a phrase) amber....

i finished nick hornby's new book a long way down. i saw a negative review, but i think it's great and now i want to re-read high fidelity. hornby is one of my favorite writers for a couple of reasons... he is a joy to read even when i am not interested in the topic (think fever pitch) and he straddles the line between entertainment and art fairly well - i.e. he's great fun to read, yet his writing isn't fluff - there is insight, warmth and humanity...

happy 4th, americans...remember the fight for freedom never ends and we must hold on to what our forefathers fought for...
