Busy writing today on union bailouts and waste sites over aquifers, so I don’t have much. Also, I need to do a little mental house cleaning (again) and if I write too much here then some of that house cleaning is bound to spill out and really, no offense, it’s none of your bidness. But I will say I found it very amusing when a co-worker said yesterday that it was unbearably hot outside and it felt like a mild spring day to me. This, people, is what it means to be from the Deep South. I actually feel normal and healthy when I sweat. And, because DC is basically built on a swamp, I suspect my first summer here will be a wet one. Bring it on.
Also, two of my dance friends from back home are coming to visit in July. I’m very excited. Trying to get them here the weekend of a softball game so they can meet the boys (and the few girls who actually hang out after the games — I’m looking at you Kate…). It should be fun. They’ll be my first visitors and I actually feel like I can be entertaining to them. I was worried about that at first…
Also, I’m going to attend this in preparation for the Strasburg debut. Did I mention that the Nats are winning my heart? Of course, the Braves will always be my team. But I find myself really pulling for the Nats, really interested in seeing them win. But don’t worry Braves baby…you’re my team when you play the Nats. You know that silly.
UPDATE: Oh dear. Why does this oil spill press conference make me feel sick…key sentences:
While the immediate financial cost may be tolerable, some analysts caution that inevitable regulatory changes in response to the spill will have a longer-term effect on the whole industry.
“A clear outcome of the Macondo well blow out will be higher offshore drilling costs in the future,” said Evolution Securities in a research note.
UPDATE 2: English pirate on Facebook makes me happy. (h/t Appletini)
