Busy busy busy. Is this really July already? How did that happen?

The “dog days of summer” are supposed to be laid back for people who work in the education sector (like me). Right? Well, I haven’t got too bored yet at the office (and I never did get round to the big cleanup and paper-purge I’d had penciled in for sometime in June…was going to dust the bookcases and everything). And as for life away from work, between obsessing over the World Cup, fussing over fine-tuning the new blog, and going over preparations for a summer vacation, that’s been plenty full too.

Said vacation will be coming just in time, if I say so myself. Haven’t given the passport a good workout, or myself a good long break from the usual quotidian existence, for too long.

On an island in the sun
We’ll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain

(Lyrics from Weezer, “Island in the Sun”. Very, very fun track; best 99¢ I’ve spent on iTunes lately.)

Mmm, sounds good. Afterwards, I ought to be tanned, rested, and ready to do enough blogging—and enough self-promoting—to get this place properly humming. That’s the plan, anyhow. See y’all later in the month.
