Happy 4th of July!

To my fellow Americans: Happy 4th of July! I wish there was no such confining thing as distance, and we could all just plop down on a couch and watch National Treasure and Independence Day together. And vote on whether Riley Pool or Sean Bean's character is the best part of the movie. (I vote Sean Bean, anyway. Always Sean Bean.) No need to vote on the best part of Independence Day--hands down, that's Will Smith talking about wanting to be at a barbecue instead of fighting aliens.

Maybe I'll read a few pages of The Federalist Papers or something today. (I actually enjoy reading it--when I can tear myself away from reading fiction or stuff about ancient Egypt and ancient Gaul.) I feel like doing something special, especially since there's a chance I might miss fireworks this evening. I'm closing at work, and while we close at 8, if it's been rough, we might not even get out of there till 9. I'm crossing my fingers that business will be dead today--especially after 6 p.m. Maybe then corporate will see fit to not insist on keeping the store open as late as possible.

Maybe I'll repeat what I did last year--namely, watching The Young Victoria. Why, yes, I have a wry sense of humor. :)

Stay classy, ladies and gentlemen!
