Hello! Insert the usual complaipologies about not posting much lately here. Phew, glad that’s done with.<\/p>\n
I’m chewing over a longish post about video games, but it’s too late tonight and I have email to answer and coop<\/a> work to do so it’ll have to wait. Instead, a few brief updates:<\/p>\n I. You’ll be happy to know that I did finally get some (at least theoretically) nontoxic sunscreen<\/a>. It’s a bit thick and goes on very white, but it rubs in pretty well and doesn’t leave me looking any paler than usual. At least I don’t think so — you’ll tell me if it does, right?<\/p>\n II. Tonight was movie night. Some people had fun<\/b> movie homework<\/a>. In our house we’ve given in to the dark side of the force, because we were stupid enough to tell Gus about Episodes 1-3. In case you were wondering, Phantom Menace is JUST as bad the second time around. Though apparently Jar Jar was written with a 6 yr old in mind, because Gus found him HI-larious.<\/p>\n III. I should have cleaned the house today, but I Just Did Not Feel Like It. Which I know comes as a huge shock to you. I don’t know, I’ve been kind of resenting cleaning lately, even though I do like to clean. Of course it’s the time, really. Maybe I need a new strategy. I’ve been doing 50% of the cleaning each weekend, but maybe I should go to 100% every other weekend and take a weekend off.<\/p>\n IV. My iPhone pusher would like me to know that the Apple store<\/a> is SOLD OUT of iPhones. I’m not sure why I need to know that, but now you know it, too.<\/p>\n V. I kind of <3 this band from D.C., Julie Ocean<\/a>. But I’m kind of thinking that they are pretty standard power pop too. But #2, I cannot get the song out of my head. So there you go.<\/p>\n VI. Work = still awesome.<\/p>\n
