Best of July
The best movie I saw in July was Hurt Locker. I've seen it three times so far. I would love to see it again.
The best book I read in July was "The Death of Sweet Mister" by Daniel Woodrell. It really took my breath away.
The best gig I went to in July was EMPTY ORCHESTRA. They are great and I highly recommend you buy tickets if they come through your town.
My favorite tunes in July were (you guessed it) all from Empty Orchestra. And Ryan Auffenberg singing "Sellout" live. I would like to see him live.
Random personal highlights: Cinnamon fed me lots of cast-iron-y goodness, soon coming to bookstores near you; Brenda came to town for a visit, played more Settlers, Pam's band came through town, and I had my last day of work EVER. Or EVER for the foreseeable future.
Lowlights? Mammograms HURT. For rlz. And saying goodbye to people you might not even ever want to know in real life but happen to have known for 10 years which is longer than you've known some of your good friends in real life? Is hard.
