Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Came across a Smitten Kitchen recipe for browned-butter cherry clafouti bars, which I think I will make for a bbq on the Fourth. Sounds good, anyway...

Our wings are not tired.

I wish I had words instead of virtual hugs, msbelle. If I knew the secret I would surely share.

sj, I hope you are getting all the well deserved spoilage today!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't understand how clafouti becomes a bar, but that sounds amazing.

ltc is being a pain, but she did give me a Captain Marvel DVD.

Going to private fireworks display tonight, which is fun every year that I am here this late. It will be hot and buggy, but I shall prepare for that.

Might be going to a big public display tomorrow. Depends on if the kids want to go to one.

Just got a message that we're being let out early today. Works out well as I feel like I'm ahead anyhow, despite taking a couple of breaks to play some solitaire. Our computers are locked down pretty well and I'm not allowed solitaire, but I'm allowed a java compiler.

We will be sitting on the patios at home and watching whatever fireworks we can see over the San Fernando Valley. Friends are coming over and we will grill things and have drinks. We should be able to see the Universal Studios fireworks in the distance on the far rim of the valley, and we know there will be lots of random fireworks going off all over the place. I don't think there will be any major shows directly in our near field of vision.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The fireworks are two blocks from my apartment this year. I can't see them from my apartment because it's facing the wrong way, and we don't have roof access.

(I don't really like fireworks shows anyway. Bah, humbug).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy birthday, sj!

I think my head has become a perpetual phlegm producing machine. This is my true purpose in life. Now I know.
