• Bad eye day today; postponed District 9 to FRI; instead, hrs of mowing, whacking, edging, not exactly great for the eye either, but needed. #
• @angiebatgirl Brick is cool, a kind of teen noir with its own dialogue (a fast-paced idiom), tricky to hook into. in reply to angiebatgirl #

• Hoping to see District 9 as a birthday present of sorts this weekend even though my b'day is WED. Will probably need a babysitter for Emma. #

• Finishing up some web updates and some ad-hoc web design. Using a client image as a basis for quick pages. Short-term solution, likely. #

• Supposed to be 97-98 degrees tomorrow. Too bad my laptop isn't waterproof or I'd work on it in the pool all day. #
