exile in myville


so, this has been quite a challenging week getting prepped for my family invasion. i think i've kid-proofed the house sufficiently, and rezzies are booked everywhere from disneyland to catalina to someone else's house in palm springs given ours is still at the camping-indoors stage. happy to have the, but looking forward to the actual time together cause i'm done with this prep shit. now, a list:

*have you seen 'madmen'? holy lord, that is some good tv.

*i remember when the summers were slow in my business, but no more. sign of the apocalypse? sign of a recovering economy? sign of panicked workers trying to be as productive as possible to save their jobs and companies? what i wouldn't give to be able to sneak off to an afternoon movie as in the days of yore (actually, now that i think about it, those days of yore were specifically the days after the dot-com implosion and i would prefer not to relive that, so forget what i said).

*i love going to youtube or just google generally and unearthing relics from my childhood (see image above). i can't imagine that boo berry is any less toxic than cigarettes, yet it is still available with no warning. go figure. funny thing is that i still have a sense memory of the taste and a very vivid memory of how it would turn milk blue. delish!

*i haven't been to the movies all summer -- a first, though i think a trip to see 'wall-e' is likely in my future, and definitely going to see 'dark knight.'

*started reading 'the audacity of hope' the other day. it would be amazing to have a president who can not only write, but write extremely well and who is obviously a political mind for the ages. we are such idiots if we don't elect this guy.
