Ahh, what a summer it is shaping up to be

First of all, for those who know me, I survived the Fourth of July just fine. My traditional partner in crime was a wimp, and scurried off to the in-laws house. I also played it low key and didn't light a single firework. (That is some what sad, but we all mature, eventually, right?)

Well, I must say that I am enjoying this summer. The weather in Indy has been quite nice, other than a few powerful storms. There have been plenty of fun little tings to do around Indy. And lets not forget the movies, ohh, the movies.

This summer has seen a renaissance, if you will, of the movies. There's the new Indiana Jones movie, which was good. My second favorite movie of the summer, Iron Man, would be a number one movie most summers. Harold and Kumar Escape Gitmo was funnier than I anticipated. The new Hulk movie looks good, and would have been seen in the theaters if gas wasn't $4 a gallon. My number one movie of the summer, so far, is Wall-E, and regardless of what this douche-bag writes, it is pure entertainment fun; not some gripping political commentary to turn kids on to environmentalism. I am looking forward to The Dark Knight, and, to a certain degree, Tropic Thunder. All-in-all, the summer is great, but I think the best movie is coming out February 13th: Friday the Thirteenth (remake).

Another great happening this summer was Eli’s dedication / blessing. It was so much fun to see Erica, Maddy, Jess, Baby Barb, Mom, Dad, Sara, Mark, and Eli; and to spending some time with my family was epic. Taking the 130lb TV up to Sara and Mark’s, and moving it into their apartment was quite the happening, too. (Not to be confused M. Night Sham-a-lam-a-ding-dong’s new movie, The Happening)

The thing that would cap off this summer would be going to Chicago to see Jeff, Jess, and all the other Chicago friends I have. It would be the next level of awesome if my friend Liz came down from Milwaukee, but seeing as she is running her shop (click on the link to the right); she said I’m out of luck. Well, maybe getting a girlfriend would make the summer awesome, too; but no one is holding their breath on that.

Well, really, the thing that would make this the greatest summer ever would be if I got a chance to see Luke. Seoul is too expensive to visit; however, Luke is scheduled to be home in either September or October. Still, it would rock major league to go see Luke whilst he is living in South Korea. Also, click on the link to Luke's blog, you'll find out that he's one of the funniest writers there is.

Later,
