Day in the life, summer special

We're smack dab in the middle of summer vacation. According to the Phenias and Ferb theme song, there are 104 days of summer vacation. We have 58 days left to go. So ok, not exactly in the middle. But close enough.

My children have hit the official Driving Everyone Insane part of summer. It is bad. My son was running around crazy-like, ran into the wall, and split open the bottom of his nose. Why? Because he's bored and feral. My daughter has been puking up her stuff for over a week now. Migraines are common. Short story - it is time for school start again. Unfortunately the school district thinks they should open late August.

We've watched a few movies over the past few weeks. My brother is here and we're preparing him for college life by showing him "the classics" as we see them. Oh, you know, ET, The Grudge, Clerks. Those movies that are important in life. I've also had some amazing company for movies at the movie theater. I've seen a cave documentary (which was really cool), The DCI televised event (also amazingly cool), Super 8. I'm anxiously awaiting the last Harry Potter movie, complete with marathon beforehand. You know, typical summer boredom meets cheap entertainment folly.

I haven't been watching America's Got Talent and I'm not really sure why. It just hasn't amused me, or something, this year. The one episode I watched I liked. I blame the depression. Maybe it is this overly interesting interwebz. I will catch up on them tonight I think. I could use some more mind-numbing entertainment to compliment the mind-numbing season of summer.
