sum-sum-summer time

So, we're three days into summer vacation, and I'm taking a day off from packing up fifth grade to bask in the warm, glowing, warming glow of having absolutely nothing to do.

Except get everything still in Rm. 30 out.
And move into my new room.
And plan out some whiz bang 1st grade lessons.
And drop off paperwork at the new BOE.
And clean up the house (man, we've been busy...and lazy).
And (our summer project) train the dogs to be relatively reasonable when someone comes to the door.
And laundry.
And, y'know, stuff.

But not today...except maybe the paperwork.

I've been filling me supremely fill-able time by reading (100 Years of Solitude), drinking lemonade, and watching odd movies on the WE network. I liked "Lucas." How did I miss this most excellent 80s movie? Charlie Sheen...one of the Coreys (Haim?)...Winona Ryder (in her big screen debut!)...quintessential 80s angst about fitting in, getting the girl, the haves, the have-nots...Not so much fun is "Skipped Parts" which is on right now. It is not an 80s movie...but was made in 2000 (an aughties movie?). It, too, is about the perils of a young man's coming of age, but, set in the 60s, doesn't have nearly as well developed a sense of authenticity in terms of the setting or characters.

Ah...look at that...it only takes three days for me to work up a sense of righteous indignation about daytime TV.
