Some things.

My life, as of late, has involved little beyond walking my dog through the heated souther-california afternoons, mixing my own margaritas, and playing video games.  This all between my regular work hours.

As the summer starts to grow longer, J and I will be trekking out to Vermont to stay with my immediately family at my not-so-immediately family cabin on Lake Champlain.  While there, I plan on doing some canoeing, some fishing, some snorkeling, and some lazing.  I don't think that there's much more to be desired in a summer.

I'd like to promise to spend more time writing online, but I'm getting a little too involved in the minutia of spending weekends with friends and coping with the hot breeze snaking in through my living room from the open patio door.

Some minor details, though, to keep you occupied:

• I am most likely to vote for Obama come November
• Wall-E happens to be one of only two movies I suspect to be worth the $10 to see in theatres this summer
• You can't keep a good dog down
• My car is has been detailed and I still want to get rid of it
• Photography is a skill that I wish I had
• Writing is a skill that I desperately wish I had
• Barack Obama is the most comical presidential nominee I think I'm likely to see in my lifetime
• Nothing beats a little inebriation like some New York style pizza
