Long weekend

Four-day weekend for me, starting tomorrow. Much writing to do. If I had the discipline God gave a doorknob, I wouldn't post for the next few days. Of course, if I had that much discipline, I wouldn't be posting now.

Rain last night. Chance of rain tomorrow, and over the next few days. The mosquitoes are out in force as a result. At some point, I am going to have to mow the lawn--I have one of those new Off! Clip-on's, and want to give it a try. I hope it works because I hate spraying stuff on my skin.

Not much new to report, expect that I am very much looking forward to the new HP movie.

In closing, I have 5, count 'em, 5 Dreamwidth codes to give away. First five folks who stake claims--they're yours.

Why I enjoy reading John Cole

Commentary like this:

But back to the point. The days of Lech Walesa and General Jeruzelski and Reagan and Kirkland are long, long past, and the current situation in Iran doesn’t resemble them in the least. All these “Reagan was manly in Poland while Obama is being a pussy with Iran” so completely miss the mark that it is akin to standing underneath a trapeze artist doing his high wire act and yelling “ELWAY WENT DEEP IN THE SUPER BOWL” and thinking you’ve added some value to the conversation.

He also regularly posts about pets. He has a cat named Tunch, and recently adopted a shelter dog named Lily.
