Must be a holiday

Heavy thump-thump of fireworks outside my window. We’re less than a mile away from the downtown fireworks show, which plays on the 3rd and 4th. I can see the fireworks from my window here as I’m typing. If I wanted a proper show, I only need to walk out my front door and sit out on the grass in the park next to my house. J. and I did that during the memorial day fireworks.

I really like this house, especially now, when the weather’s not too hot or too cold. Everything in my life feels just right.

This Month’s Budget

June Budget = -$176.49

+ $247.85 in celebratory expenses

= -$424.34 last month.

All of that went on my credit card, but at least the IRS got their payment for the month?

Bah.

Doing math for July.

Burn Notice

I love this show. Yes, it’s formulaic, and silly at times, but man – it’s got smart writing and consistently strong female characters, which you just don’t see very often in these “damsel in distress” types of shows (let’s face it – you don’t see this very often, period). I like that all the characters aren’t white bread (this is Miami, afterall), tho they could do a lot better on that front (I heard season three mixes it up a bit more, but I’m only halfway thru season 2 right now).

I also love the formulaic episode paired with movement of the overall “bigger” plot. Reminds me a bit of Quantum Leap in that sense. Each episode is self-contained, but there’s a bigger story riding just underneath, to the point where it ends up being the subplot.

Smart writing, lovable characters.

Yeah, you just don’t see enough of that.
