so I finished watching harper's island here.

slow motion fall for Chloe -- I kept saying tuck , tuck... He may not get you but he still wins if you die. What I find interesting is how little I care about abby. She has gotten stupid -- the reason you kill some one like wakefield is to make room for people like Henry / jimmy -- the ones I'd like to be the heroes of the piece.

It has been fun -- worth it .

loved the picture of the kids

Great tennis today at Wimbledon. And in non-match outcome news, the roof was closed over centre court!

I had a Farmer's Marketity dinner ( I went to the small local one on Sunday morning) - cold cucumber and yogurt soup (cucumber and dill from the market), fish from the market with some more dill on it, then a small green salad (lettuce from the local CSA, a neighbor gave me). yummers.

mac out of nowhere announced he's supposed to be learning to take bath by himself. um yeah, for like the last 2 years. who knows why he has decided to do it now, but no complaints here.

Cool.

I am behind - but I was a bit sad that Melanie Oudin didn't make it through. But I'm hoping that we will see her at the US Open.

Hey, if having it be his idea works!

I think Loki has discovered the glory that is a/c. Normally he's down here all evening and he wasn't, so I went looking. Found him splayed on his back on the foot of the bed in front of the a/c. It's not even terribly hot (78 downstairs.) He wasn't inclined to be disturbed from his belly-cooling.

How nerdy am I? I just corrected the QI twitter feed.

Also, my arms are so tired from yoga that typing is almost too much. I was trying to read Infinite Jest and it was too heavy.

I wish I could do all transactions online.

Right? I'm annoyed when I *can't.* The only flaw is my deep desire for instant gratification, which means that ordering stuff online means I have to wait, which turns me into an impatient 3-year-old.

It's stuff like calling people about doors when I know fuckall about what I need to bring to the table and going in person to get blinds and mattresses. I mean, there is some stuff you gotta do in person, but I just don't like to have to interact. Good news is shortly after complaining, I discovered the locksmith I used also replaces doors, and at the very least, you can make the estimate request online. They still have to come out and all, but at least less phone tag.

I really need to call my cousin and see if he can come down for a few weeks in the fall to just do shit.
