Happy Juneteenth Folks! If you don’t know what that means look it up, learn a little something. On this glorious day I will be celebrating by playing video games and eating a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. Sure my actions will have absolutely nothing to do with the holiday itself but it sure will feel good doing them.
Monica and I have been taken over by a game called wordtwist on Facebook. If you happen to know this game and are awesome at it please, feel free to challenge us. If you are not awesome you will more than likely be destroyed. In our efforts to become even more awesome at this game (she is a little more awesome than me but we are essentially equal in awesomeness) we have decided to cheat at scrabble to learn more seven letter words. I know that cheating is wrong but since we are agreed on the matter and are using the cheating as a learning opportunity to better ourselves it is okay. Plus, if we are only cheating while playing each other and we are both doing it is it really cheating? Probably not.
The other day I watched Seven Samurai. I have no idea why it took me so long to see this film. It was pretty incredible. It was also incredibly long. For me to not get bored watching a 208min movie that is black and white and has subtitles something pretty freaking awesome must be happening. I’m not entirely sure why I liked it so much but those samurai were some stand up fellows.
The top chef reunion show was pretty bogus. No dirt was strewn about. I was somewhat disappointed. It was a happy-loving-huggy affair. I do kind of almost sort of want an “I have a culinary boner” t-shirt but I would never wear it so I don’t.
Oh! Sulu got married!!! George Takei and his partner looked so happy over there in California. It just made me smile. I love Sulu. I love the original Star Trek. I am pretty curious as to the new movie. I am not curious (no I am, I lied) about the Prince of Persia movie. While I am positive that Jake Gyllenhal is not the best guy to play the prince and I wish they had picked someone slightly swarthier I am not sure who the best person would really be. I thin I decided that dude who played the shrink in “Sunshine” (which I think no one has seen) is the best I have come up with. At least Jake is better than Orlando Bloom.
1. She feels like/ A stranger has come in the night/ And stolen her life/ And left her with this
2. Looking at the devil/ Grinning at his gun/ Fingers start shaking/ I begin to run
3. Come/ As you are/ As you were/ As I want you to be. Come As You Are, Nirvana. Identified by Mom.
4. Oh so long/ For this night I’ve prayed/ That a star/ Would guide you my way/ To share with/ Me this special day
5. Dawn is a feeling/ A beautiful ceiling/ The smell of grass just lets you pass/ Into a dream. Dawn: Dawn is a Feeling, The Moody Blues. Identified by Mom.

Happy Juneteenth to you too!
Here's a Juneteenth website I found when researching Juneteenth questions to challenge my middle school campers with: http://www.juneteenth.com/
Lots of good info. But nothing about this year's Minneapolis Juneteenth celebration.
Fun post! I liked its rambling nature.
Songs:
3. Come as You Are, by Nirvana
5. Dawn: Dawn is a Feeling, by the Moody Blues
Mom beat me to #3. Oh well.
Happy Juneteenth.
I love Seven Samurai. We own it and every now and then I start to pull it out to watch it again and then end up putting it back because of the length. It is pretty darn long. But it really is very very good. The one crazy samurai, LOVE HIM! Yeah, it's been ages since we've watched. We'll have to do so again soon.
Happy (belated) Juneteenth to you. I'd never heard of it before (probably due to the fact that I'm Canadian), but I hope you had a good day.
Also: Seven Samurai is AWESOME. One of my favourite movies; I'm glad you enjoyed it!
