I don’t have enough for an entry, but I have enough for some bullet points…

• The new Garbage album, “Bleed Like Me,” is quite good. The new Kotoko album, “Glass no Kaze,” is better overall than her first album, “Hane,” but features fewer actual standout tracks.
• I may never “get” military sci-fi. I’ve tried, mind you, and will probably try again before I give up completely.
• When you try to go to a pub for lunch and one out of the first three to arrive has forgotten their ID, it’s an annoyance. When, later, it turns out that two of the five have forgotten, well, that’s a sign that the gathering needs to take place elsewhere.
• The kids are out of school, now. I expect Wendi to go absolutely bonkers in a few short days.
• I’ve seen a bit of the new Doctor Who series, now, and it’s not too shabby. On a related note, I liked the first season of The 4400 better than the new season so far.
• I have a rubber-duck-themed shower curtain now. May the gods have mercy on my soul.
• I’m very, very glad that I get paid tomorrow… and my resolve to closely track my transactions is considerably stronger now than it was a couple of weeks ago.
