Pretty poor excuse for a Labor Day...


  • I'm sitting at home ripping CDs.

  • I've also emptied several of the damn boxes, which is how I found the CDs that needed to be ripped.

  • Out of beer, and can't muster the energy to go buy more.

  • Doing laundry is the highlight of my day so far.

  • Decided that we could really use a kitchen island, a small one, for more work space in our kitchen.

  • Luckily, Ikea has several good ones.

  • We so need a storage unit.

  • Man, I love the Grateful Dead.

  • The CD currently being ripped has four songs on it.. 14:20, 16:37, 13:11, and 17:54.

  • Not even a concert from the trippy 70s. Hartford, Connecticut, 14 OCT 83

  • The CD in question was the first four songs of the second set.

  • This is all part of my usual "Kirsten isn't here" funk. Happens every time she goes away for more than a few days, especially to Burning Man where's there is little or no contact.

  • Last night I found myself having bizarre military dreams. Woke up to the sound of distant artillery.

  • Actually, we're close enough the Great America that I could hear their fireworks display.

  • Didn't bother to put on clothes to go out and check if it was visible from our place.

  • Seriously considering skipping Baycon next year and flying to New York for a party in Queens.

  • OK, need to eat something. Everyone in a two-mile radius has the grill going!

Hey, we bbq routinely on Memorial Day weekend, July 4th and Labor Day so you shouldn't have to skip anything. Just pick one and come.

FWIW, my day sucks, too.
