Today is Labor Day, the un-official end to summer. Tomorrow school starts and it’s back to work time for me. As always I look forward to getting back to work..But I didn’t finish one of my summer reads. Every time I pick the book up, I fall in love with it all over never wanting to put it down, but 40 pages later, it’s down. I had 3 books slated for this summer’s read. To be fair, I did try to read while I was just home from the hospital, but never being able to stay awake for more than 30 minutes at a time kinda put a damper on that. I did log in a lot of TV/Movies. I watched 3 and a half seasons of Weeds, a show that seems to have taken a wrong turn late in season 3. I watched season 6 of 24. I had seen it live a year ago, but this was still good. I watched the 1st season of Mad Men. Really liked that, the 60’s were so different. Tried to watch the Planet of the Apes series…didn’t make it through that. Watched all 5 Dirty Harry movies. Time for another one to be released. Watched some of the Oscar winners from the past year. There Will be Blood, that sucked, No Country for Old Men, that sucked. Went to the movies and saw the Dark Knight, that was fantastic. No chance of a movie like that winning an Oscar, except for editing or something.
The summer has been cool, we did have a few 90+ days, but there seemed to be more under 70 days, and what with all the rain? Hear that world, Seattle and rain, it’s true! Well, I have to polish my shoes and sharpen my pencils for ready or not, it’s back to school time !
