It was a very quiet weekend, by our standards. Partially due to the poor condition of my finances, but also because the boy and I were in dire need of some downtime. Even if that alleged downtime included swimming at the YWCA, a playdate with some other kiddos, and a visit to the drive-in theater to take in Up. Really, that’s a quieter weekend than most. And all of today was spent at home, where I am growing more enamored of my push reel mower. Pushing it around the yard is oddly satisfying - and a carbon neutral workout!
Other things that don’t suck:
- Neil Gaiman & Jouni Koponen’s The Day the Saucers Came.
- The highly entertaining Goths in Hot Weather.
- “It’s like having just the chart portions of xkcd“
- The cuteness of milktoof, and of Squid and Frog (and poor poor squirrel).
- Yet another vegan cheese alternative, but this one looks promising: Daiya cheese
- Listening to the funk/afro beat stylings of The Budos Band. Yessss.
- The “Friends of the Enemy” documentary about great New Zealand bands like The Clean and The Chills.
How is it mid-June already? Eep! I have more scrambling to do to figure out how I’m going to swing my L.A. trip at the end of the month (airfare already purchased) and pay my mortgage. Oh, the joys of adulthood, and of single parenting during a recession. Sigh.
