Labor Day in the United States, as you know, is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. Ironically, or perhaps fittingly, most of us try to spend it performing as little actual labor as humanly possible.

Let's hear your favorite songs of Summer 2013 in the comments. I loved Haim's stuff, and Chvrches, too. And I confess that Blurred Lines is a guilty pleasure. What else?

I passed out on my couch last night. The wife had to put me to bed. Then this morning my dog drank from the toilet. The toilet that was full of piss. Not a tremendous start to the fall in the Hughes house.
ReplyDeletei just relit the pilot light on our water heater. feeling pretty manly. gonna pretend i wasn't at all scared of blowing up the house.

ReplyDeleteit's possible i butchered that last comment. still on a gas high.
ReplyDeleteRob's last comment hasn't not made more sense than less of the other.
ReplyDeletethose of you familiar with the 9:30 club will be very saddened to learn of the passing last night of josh burdette. he was the huge, bald, bearded, tattooed, pierced dude who served as the bouncer/host/face of the club. a dc institution and a legendarily sweet guy. not sure what happened, though i assume there will be news forthcoming.

ReplyDeleteThese wishy-washy losers on financial planning commercials shown during golf events don't deserve to retire. Grow some sack. Yeah, our shit's in the right funds.
