Mmm, that sounds good.

I had chicken soup (in addition to the cocktails and wine). I make some good soup, if I do say so myself.

I decided to harvest the catnip in the hanging basket as a summer solstice treat. There are varying levels of bonker-ness so far, but the funniest to me is the dog being all "where's mine?" Poor Walter, I don't know of any dognip.

It wasn't even casual racism though. She is being sued for a hostile work environment for people of color in her restaurant establishments. I can only imagine the kind of bullshit her employees had to put up with.

Saw my first firefly: happy first day of Summer!

Coincidentally saw my first tonight as well—it's a conspiracy!

My weekend is driving up to Kansas City to pick up a computer from Gudanov tomorrow.

Fox cancelled them. (Sorry, it's the first thing my brain thinks)

I've actually never lived anywhere with fireflies. I wish I had. They look like wee mobile constellations, I think I'd love them. Unless they bite. I am anti-bitey.
