A combination of (a) my hastily written opinions/reviews about my latest pop culture excursions; (b) inner musings that may come of those excursions and/or unrelated phenomena; (c) good practice toward, and a low-budget prototype for, an eventual webzine; and (d) whatever seems to work well that day.

Summer is here, and Coasterama and I have been enjoying our vacation time until we start working at the Child Development Center next Tuesday. It is his first job, and I am not sure he really knows what he is in for, heh heh heh!

We have been watching some interesting choices for films, and I think that I am still a good dad after exposing him to "A Clockwork Orange," "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," "Fight Club" and "Reservoir Dogs" all within the space of a week. Aren't I?!

MartaCycle and her boys were down for a visit last week, and we plan on heading up to see them for July 4, where illegal Washington fireworks are legal. It looks like I may be skipping the Judas Priest concert (lump in throat and tear in eye), unless I pull off an eBay miracle.

Please send the positive vibes my way for landing a new, better paying job soon!

Happy Fourth of July!

The first paragraph and part of the second are so incorrect that I would have to call this thing a load of poppycock. However, the third paragraph works, I suppose.

(Borrowed from stillmartasworld!)
