One More Work Day

Tomorrow is Wednesday. I have to get through the work day and then I am on a four day weekend. It seems so incredibly far away. It is infinitely far away.

I am about to watch this week’s episode of Star Wars: The Acolyte. Will it be as excellent as the last few weeks? I hope so.

My stomach issues from this morning have more or less fixed themselves. That’s good. Unfortunately they were replaced by repeated hunger pains. What I normally call Empty Stomach Pain. It has happened three or four times today. No matter how big a meal I have, I just can’t get out in front of it. Instead of the usual three hours between eats I have been hurting at around two hours. In two instances it was only 90 minutes. What’s up with that? I will need to have a big bedtime snack today in the hopes that I won’t have any problems over night.

Tomorrow is an in the office day. I am exhausted beyond measure tonight. I don’t know how I am going to get through the few things I still need to get through before I can let myself sleep. I’m only one day away from a super long weekend though. I need it bad, folks. I need it bad.

In the Wild

I finally saw one in the wild and it looks exactly as stupid and ridiculous as I expected.

Tonight on the drive home I saw a…

Cybertruck.

It looks like something the villain in an 80’s cartoon would drive. It’s that ridiculous. I fully expected to see Cobra Commander behind the wheel.

I mean, what a shit box.

Haiku for You #197

My city’s 4th of July fireworks show was supposed to happen tonight, even though the 4th of July was two days ago. It was cancelled due to the weather forecast which apparently turned out to be dead wrong. This installment of Haiku for You is brought to you by whichever of our neighbors it is who is lighting off fireworks in their yard at 9:45pm.

Why do I still hear,
These neighborhood fireworks?
The 4th is over!

Never See Them Together

My wife just made an astounding observation.

Question: Has anyone ever seen actor John C McGinley and musical genius Weird Al Yankovic in the same room at the same time?

Mr McGinley:

Mr Yankovic:

Seriously… they could be twins. Are they the same guy?

Artillary

One of our neighbors is shooting off so many fireworks that I can’t tell if it’s the 4th of July or the artillery barrage the Federal troops fired at General Pickett’s division during Pickett’s charge (which was 161 years ago, yesterday).

So much noise. The cats are handling it well, but we had to close the windows out of fear that the booms would freak them out.

July

Welcome to July, my friends. Summer is in full swing. Time to start worrying about the weather turning cold and frosty.

That’s sarcasm… or is it.

Man, the time is flying.

I don’t have any plans for the 4th of July. I have to visit my father for a bit, but other than that and the happy fact that I have the day off, the only thing on my radar is the start of the 50 songs in 90 days songwriting challenge.

You know what I want to do? It’s silly… but I want to buy some sparklers. Not fireworks. I have no interest in actual fireworks. Sparklers. I want to sit on the patio in the back yard and light up a few sparklers.

It could very well be the last 4th of July the United States gets to celebrate authentically. We very well could be a fascist dictatorship a year from now. We should do something to mark the last go around.

Also… sparklers are fun.
