Marshland

Hey all.

I'm realizing this space would greatly benefit from some pictures. I need to get on that, right away.

In other news, I think I may be incredibly sunburnt. Sunburned? Does the fact that it's my flesh which has been burned change the end of that word? I don't know these things and am also far too lazy to look them up.

I miss a certain friend of mine. He's very faraway and this time of year always makes me miss him. We were big into football. I guess back in high school, especially towards the end, we spent a lot of time, generally up to no good. I remember the night his mom died he came over to work on this math project we had to do and just couldn't do it. I told him not to worry about it and ended up doing the project. It was such a small thing, and our teacher wouldn't have cared given the circumstances, but it felt good to be able to do something practical for someone in so much pain. Kind of a selfish thought I guess, and I don't normally get nostalgic for high school. But it's Saturday morning, so I'm not going to question it.

Though I think I may have heard of it once before in my life, I read a sterling review of 'The Wire'. I guess it was a show on HBO? But Bill Simmons over at Page2 was raving about that and the 'Kicking & Screaming' DVD. Related to that, I'm glad no one who mentions that movie feels the need to differentiate it from the Will Ferrell bomb of the same name. Even though I just did. Shit.
