take the way home that leads back to sullivan street
Okay, this is just ridiculous. The neighbors had a huge cookout this evening, and it is still going on. I can hear the bass from their music through the walls, and their house is probably 200 feet away.
I'm pretty sure it's Queen.
Mom and Dad and I went downtown for the fireworks tonight. The fireworks themselves were even better than Friday, but the pictures aren't going to come out nearly as well--there was no wind at all, so the smoke just kind of hung around and got in the way. Also my camera was being dumb. First the automatic advance failed noisily after my third exposure, then I cocked up my cable release and wound up taking a couple of idiotically short exposures that are going to look really silly.
...Yes, I still use film. I'm a weirdo. Also I'm cheap.
The drive back from downtown is always one of my favorite things. Riding along with the windows down, Mom and Dad bickering about the Reds (we fired our GM two days ago and--oh look!--we finally won a game), driving on towards the rising moon...
And of course stopping for White Castles on the way. Duh.
Today was a good day.
