It must be Summer: went outside to spend 15 minutes with my thumb on the end of a garden hose. The plants are happy. Also: 5 mosquito bites.

Jim Nabors singing Back Home Again in Indiana gladdens my heart. Obvious segue this Vet weekend: yup, time to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Am I strange because I prefer unsweetened soy milk in my coffee? It would seem so, because most soy milk is full of sugar cane juice...

Gonna set up my iPhone for tethering. Anyone done it? Your experience? Any tips? I don't usually do this kinda thing. Gotta get my geek on.

Lovely to see 'We Need To Talk About Kevin' in production. Tilda Swinton stars. Lynne Ramsay directs. What more do we need to know?

I am super-tired of sitting at my keyboard. But thanks to a CL purchase, I have a super arm-and-keyboard tray-and-mouse-tray. Thanks, Craig!

The buzzards on the roof fall into two types: those who fly away when I pretend to throw something, and those who don't. Wily buztards!
