advisory

Oh, it's summer all right. There is an excessive heat watch in effect for the next two days. I think we need to institute an excessive advisory watch.

Recently watched:
Mad Men, season 1 - All 13 episodes are available on demand, and during my several-day stint on the couch last week, I managed to squeeze them all in. Soap opera-y, which is probably why I like it. That and the mod 1960 decor.
John Adams - Loved it!
Also: Gone Baby Gone, Murder on the Orient Express, The Motorcycle Diaries, This Is England, Eagle Vs. Shark
And I recently caught some of the 1980s Anne of Green Gables miniseries on PBS and it flashed me back to grade school sleepovers at my friend Nadine's house. She had her own TV!

Nothing else new to report, unfortunately. As mentioned above, last week was a bit of a black hole. I had arranged to take 2 vacation days (for a total of 3 days off including 7/4) and par for my course, I felt crappy the whole time. So I did a grand total of nothing. And now I am feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I need to do and it's looking like I am going to need another vacation day...
