Day: August 4, 2008

I forgot to mention the other thing that made me happy this past week: Official VM best pal Ian Kelley just graduated officer candidate school and is now Ensign Kelley! Congrats!

(I wanted to attend the graduation ceremony up in Rhode Island, but that Springsteen show with my brother took priority . . .)

What I’m reading: Finished A Reader’s Manifesto, by B.R. Myers, and The Beast in the Jungle, by Henry James. Started Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko, by Blake Bell.

What I’m listening to: Just shuffling on my iPod, while I figure out how to reinstall my Sirius radio in my car in a way that will prevent my dog from chewing through the antenna cable again.

What I’m watching: Spaced, some Angels-Yankees, and . . . the fourth season of The Wire! At last!

What I’m drinking: Plymouth G&T.

Where I’m going: Nowhere, although I’m considering going up to Saratoga in two weeks to see Gillian Welch play the folk festival.

What I’m happy about: Getting to see my brother last week, and getting out to that Bruce show.

What I’m sad about: The weird noise coming out of the water heater downstairs. Especially after that episode of Mythbusters.

What I’m pondering: Lots of big, intricate sentences by Henry James.
