A Blobby Summer

"'Green.'
Corran nodded.  'Yellow.'
The youth smiled, straightened up, and lowered his blaster.  The agreed-upon challenge had been a color in the visible light spectrum, and the countersign the color immediately contiguous with it.  'I'm Rade Dromath.'" - Star Wars, The New Jedi Order, Dark Tide II: Ruin, by Michael A. Stackpole.

Yeah, that's pretty much the longest title I've ever heard.  So-

Today has been a superlatively relaxing day.  I mean, I got to read Star Wars!  Sci-fi pulp is for sure my leisure activity of choice.  Otherwise, I spent a good part of my day with my friend Mari eating pho, watching The Zodiac (long, and unfortunately, not worth the wait), and walking my dog.  Now, I'm listening once again to of Montreal's new LP which came out today.  The vinyl is being shipped, en route to my house in Davis.  I only wish I ordered it earlier.

Yesterday, I submitted my 2nd term paper, which was officially marked the end of my summer sessions at UC Davis.  I have now a week's respite before the onslaught of school returns.  I have most of my days planned out already, complete with shopping, record hunting, and reading.  Hooray!  The only bummer is the two dollar fare for Muni.  I haven't been back to SF often enough to be used to it.

Yeah.  I  got nothing.  Slow news day.
