i blew a pile of dog dirt up with a firecracker because it was on some steps leading down to the river at my camp. when was the last time you did that?

my memorial day was, by default, better than yours. that said, people who live in el americano should talk about what they did yesterday so i'm not left here trying to compensate for daddy issues or whatever

I've still yet to find a usage for firecrackers quite that interesting. I did a couple of cool things on Memorial Day, though. I finally left the Stone Ages behind and acquired a smart phone! It's a whole lot more intelligent than the dumb phone that I'd been toting around for a while.

I did other Memorial Day-y things like grilling hamburgers and other tasty edibles. Legend has it that I went on a roasted marshmallow binge at some point, too.

Lastly, I procrastinated on programming pursuits and grad school preparation. That may or may not qualify as cool.
