Friday: Because it’s …

This was literally the first Friday I did not have Friday playing through my head, probably because this was the first non-school Friday of the summer.  And speaking of that, I still can’t believe it’s summer.  It’s hot, smoking hot even, but it just doesn’t have that summer feel I get at the beginning every year.  But I know you don’t want to hear about that, so I’ll get into my short daily narrative.

There is one sign of summer though, waking up between eleven and one on a weekday.  That is obviously the best part of every non-school day, and after nine months of six o'clock alarms this really is refreshing.  The only times I’m going to need to wake up this summer are for my job, once every other week, and then when I volunteer for one or two weeks.  The other seven… bliss.  And Portal 2.

The first event today involved volunteering at a church / summer camp, so I’ll skip that and jump straight to the second.  Congratulations Alyssa, first for graduating and secondly for having a great party.  Even with the family around it was fun, and I even met an Upper Darby alum who graduated in ‘53.  Funnily enough, they still had the same school song back then… but they had actual uniforms for gym.  (And I’m worried about having only a semester).  Oh, and thanks to wherever the fried chicken was bought, that was the best I’ve ever had outside of KFC.  And now for the song.

SONG OF THE DAY: VERTIGO

 

I didn’t have anything new today, so I decided to go with an old favorite.  (It’s not that old though, only ‘04).  Hands down, The Edge is one of the best guitarists ever, and this song has one of the best guitar tracks I’ve ever heard.  You’ll enjoy it.  You probably won’t understand it… but you’ll enjoy it.  (Oh, and in the Spanish, Bono says 1, 2, 3, 14).

Now tomorrow I need to think of something good… probably just a review of either Quantum of Solace or Vampires Suck.  Oh, and I still need to talk about this week’s Covert Affairs.  Whatever.  Really, I recommend skipping the weekend entirely because on Monday I will have something fun.  Now goodnight, before I fall asleep in front of the computer.
