And now, it is summer.

I ordered the following from Amazon.com today

1. Elliott Smith record
2. Rise Against record
3. Season 1 of TrueBlood (shh, I need something to do during the day that's not writing or reading... or yoga)
4. From Dawn to Decadence (for my "book club" with DD)

I am missing SYTYCD tonight--granted it has thus far only been a one week tradition, but most of me does not care. I was way into it. I'm going to have to figure out our dvr so that I can plan for it. I like the show, and I have a feeling I'll like it even more when I can dvr through the yelling woman who screams things about a tamale train.

Today, I am figuring out how to take public transportation up to Evanston with KB. We're meeting up with EPS and going to a wine tasting thing tonight. I'm just hoping it doesn't rain for long enough (which reminds me to grab an umbrella.) It's summer and definitely not feeling like it yet, aside from having nothing to do and getting dressed up on a random Tuesday to go to dinner. Scoozi is one of my favorite places--even if it's overblown Lettuce Entertain You kind of a place. It's quiet and people never seem to be around. Or going to Bar on Buena on a Sunday night with CA. All good things.

It's noon, well, after noon, and the only thing I have done so far is to do yoga, watch the Colbert Report and eat some cereal. I probably should get dressed...

This is why I'm going to work on writing a paper for this conference... I think it's important that I find something to do with my summers. I've also got other work projects to do. So, that's something...
