All day I’ve been in one of those moods where everything and everyone I want to see is nowhere near me, and I can’t do anything about it. I miss my other half, I miss my best friend, I miss being able to drive whenever I want, I miss a lot of stuff. Maybe it’s because after a week of absolutely gorgeous, hot and humid weather it turned cold and rainy to the point where we’re considering turning the furnace on again. That’s not right for the first day in July in this hemisphere.

The last time I was paying attention, it was the beginning of the week, and here we are at Friday afternoon already! Nice! On a somewhat more serious note, RIP Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. You were great entertainers in your own way, and you will be missed. My condolences to their families and friends left behind.

I figured I might as well clean, since I can’t go anywhere or do anything without a working car. I’m actually planning an in-depth cleaning session this time, way more than the usual swiping of dust and running the vacuum. I noticed last night that my walls are embarrassingly dirty, so I think I’ll wash some of them today, at least the living room and hallway anyway. That plus the usual stuff and I hopefully will successfully fill what looks like it would otherwise be a long, boring day.

That means you shouldn’t even be reading this, you should be doing something that doesn’t involve your computer at all! Read a book! Watch a baseball game! Talk to your friends or family! Or, you know, since I took time out of my day to post some reviews, you could sit here and read them before you go on with your life. It’s probably still early enough for some of you to still be sipping your first cup of coffee, so you might as well stick around until it’s gone. Especially if it’s raining as much where you are as it is where I am.
