Who's up for a goofy goth outing to see fireworks tonight? I can bring at least one or two blankets, provided someone helps carry them. We could bring small bags of food, too. No alcohol, please, we don't want to get kicked out. But I do mean goofy--the mosquitoes were bad last year, so I think I'll wear a multi-layer black tulle veil. I plan on parking near

jb98's current pad and walking down to McIntyre Park, with the masses of people. It makes crossing 250 much easier when there's a crowd.

The yardwork needs doing, but it's hot and humid out. Blah. I went outside briefly to turn off the hose (left it on last night, but the nozzle was closed) and have spent the last two hours breaking out in wee blister hives (dishydrotic eczema, though... with steroids, it'll go away in a mere 3-5 days) of doom. GRRRRR! Grass pollen is the devil. The other possibility is that the chocolate I bought yesterday is not, in fact, soy-free. The label doesn't list lecithin. Soy is a far more likely culprit than grass pollen, though grass has done it in the past.
