he's just waiting for a pardon

First, Happy Birthday to hannahstarr, who also shares this day with Meryl Streep and Bruce Campbell! Best wishes to you all!

Feeling good right now. Just finished the latest issue of Via magazine, a pretty travel mag about the Western US. Had some juicy raspberries. Before that I carefully wiped off the bloom on some really good chocolate before eating it. (Bloom is when a chocolate bar is a bit old and looks like it's covered with a thin lining of dust. It's perfectly fine, just rub the gray stuff off with a napkin and it should taste more or less okay.) Good thing the shock of Thierry Henry leaving Arsenal has died down in me before this nice time. Funny thing, when first I copied that link, the song I was listening to had the lyric: “The chapter in his life soon came to an end.” -hugs all Arsenal fan flisters-

Yesterday was the Summer Solstice (or Winter Solstice, for all you Southern Hemispherers). Usually, people post the what I watched-did-thought things around New Year's. But I'm going to try doing that for the Solstices instead. It feels more natural for me.

So, ( the movies I've seen, books I've read, CDs I've bought, TV shows I've gotten into, along with assorted thoughts I've had since Winter Solstice. )
