just a few more days, right?

The long stretch is almost over.

I am referring, of course, to the spring wasteland—the big run of months with no national holidays. (I know that Milbarge has already proposed a solution to this, but the federal government hasn’t seen fit to go ahead with this plan, unfortunately.)

So I’m going to do the weekend up right. Our Memorial Day plans include tubing on Saturday, a pool party Sunday, a birthday dinner Sunday night, and a barbecue on Monday. In other words, this holiday weekend will be much fuller than a “normal” weekend.

Of course, I was really looking forward to the long weekend until it occurred to me that, for all my dreaming of extra sleep, I won’t be getting any of that this weekend. Well, pooh.

You’ve learned much, young one.

Hat tip to tauntinghappyfunball for pointing out twenty questions with Lord Vader.

I’ve seen this technology before; it’s actually pretty cool. But Burger King has really put it to work. I just wish they hadn’t brought in the creepy Burger King king guy. ::shudder::: He’s freaky.

Serious time waster here. Oh, and definitely have the sound on.
