I Love Fireworks…

Have I ever mentioned how much I love fireworks? I’m serious, I do – there’s just something about them that makes me very happy. So, to celebrate the 4th I dragged Aaron out for a picnic and fireworks at Castle Hill in Ipswich. I made us a picnic dinner and we gathered up food, chairs, a blanket, bug spray and Password (for any non-games, it’s an easily transportable word game excellent for passing time) and headed out. The estate was beautiful and although there were tons of mosquitos, our bug spray did an excellent job of staving off bites. We had a good time, the fireworks were great, and I got a glow-stick necklace. Life doesn’t get much better.

Listening to:

Reminds me of The Go! Team with half of the bouncy happiness drained out and replaced with M.I.A.

Last watched:

Director: Fox Searchlight

If there's one thing Aronofsky knows how to do, it's how to portray bleakness.

Reading:

Anathem

Author: Neal Stephenson

One of my favorite things about this book is that in this fictional world there are names given to ideas that ought to have names in the real world. For instance, Diax's Rake is the idea that you shouldn't believe something just because you want to. The name itself isn't that important, but I like that Stephenson recognizes that some ideas deserve to be acknowledged.

Playing:

Red Dead Redemption

Publisher: Rockstar Games

Like GTA in the Old West, but so far, more interesting. I just hope that the buddy characters don't require the same kid-gloved hand-holding from GTA4.
