i love fireworks, especially when i can watch them without putting on shoes
i live in a town that celebrates the fourth of july in june. by which i mean, on the thursday before the fourth, they set off fireworks across the street from my house. :D i had fried dough for dinner, too.
there was a muskrat bus parked at the end of the street. i'm pretty sure it was there at least partly to help block traffic.
a bunch of excited little kids settled on my front porch to watch, and seriously, who thinks it's ok to let their kids invade someone's property like that? mom sat on the front steps, which is marginally less invasive, but still. they were little and i wasn't feeling particularly mean, so i didn't ask them to get off the porch, but holy shit the shrieking. O.O after pretty much every firework, they lost their shit shrieking and screaming and i genuinely wanted to smack them to shut them up.
before the show we got music from an air force band - the air force spirit band or some such thing - because star wars is forty they played the main theme (last year they played the imperial march too), and because steamboat willie is almost ninety (i guess) they played some disney music. and did i mention there were fireworks right across the street? that will never get old. altho because of the way the wind was blowing i think i got bits of exploded firework in my hair, and that wasn't so fabulous.
but fireworks! who knows what i'm going to do on the actual fourth, tho.
today was the slowest day imaginable at work, because so many people were either working from home or have already taken off for the fourth. i imagine monday's going to be worse, but at least we get out early.
killjoys is back! in totally other news. :D i need to watch it again, tho. i think i can safely say, without spoilers, that i love how many of the people in charge are women. good guys and bad guys, trustworthy and not. it's pretty cool.
foodie dice - six dice (protein, grain/carb, herb, cooking method, bonus ingredient, seasonal veg) to help you decide what to make for dinner. the protein die has vegetarian options on each side, as well as meat.
a couple guys in chicago were busted trying to sell undercover cops a kilo of coke to that turned out to be... pancake mix. um. ok.
