First Day Of Summer

Okay, yes, it is now “officially” Summertime. Today is the Solstice and we’re moving into my least favorite season.

Pumpkin Spice Protest

To protest the arrival of Summer, I’m going to be baking some pumpkin spice cookies.

Summer

Blech!

Sum-Sum-Summertime

The refrain is fun and familiar but the rest of the song, much like summer itself, is annoying as hell

Thought I’d share this bit of nostalgia with you. People love using the introductory riff for commercials and lifestyle videos. Note that they never use the entire song because it’s actually really annoying and nigh impossible to listen to.

Well, I’ve pressed on to Chapter Eight but I really drew a blank last night. Luckily, I have a bunch of errands to run today so that I can get a somewhat neutral mind state that will help me stew on the next step in the story.
