Summer Daze

For a while, it seemed that Minnesota had bred an honest-to-goodness computer super criminal. Alas, it turns out that Jeffrey Parson is just another script kiddie. How disappointing. We Midwesterners just aren’t very creative, I guess.
I’ve been on vacation all week and still have one more day because Monday is Labor Day. It’s strange how the days seem to jumble together when you’re not on your normal schedule. I woke up this morning not exactly sure what day it was. I remember feeling the same way a few years ago when I was unemployed for about a month. But I’m ready to get back to work and I’m also ready for autumn. I really enjoy summer, but in autumn life seems to quicken and everything just feels crisp and cool. It’s like watching a film come out of slow motion and resume its regular pace.
And now I think I’ll resume my game of Civ 3. I’m playing as the French and before I’m done, by God, everyone from Alaska to Azerbaijan will be eating croissants and laughing their asses off at Jerry Lewis films.
