Independence Day Recap

Hope y'all had a wonderful Fourth of July! I spent a pleasant day brunching, hanging out and watching the movie Stripes with MD. If you haven't seen Stripes, it's a Bill Murray classic in which two misfits (Murray and Harold Ramis) join the Army and endure six weeks of boot camp. A hilariously over the top film, and a good movie for Independence Day if ever there were one.

Of course MD and I couldn't help but constantly point out the movie's inaccuracies (we do this frequently during Star Trek movies too). Me: "Um, isn't Bill Murray's hair a bit too long? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be allowed to smoke either." MD: "There was no time for sitting around and playing cards or shooting the shit like that. And we wouldn't be caught dead in a bar in uniform." Yeah, we're nerds. We also talked politics and caught up on gossip and Skyped with J. A good, quiet day, which is what I needed since my body is still recovering from its bout with the stomach flu.

And now it's back to real life. At least it's already Thursday...
