HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!

I'm having the bestest, most awesomest 4th in years!!! :D

My bro' & I are watching a DVD of fireworks displays while listening to John Williams' Star Wars scores! (Specifically, we lined up the End Titles from each of the 6 movies and are listening to a sort of sampling of all the main themes from each movie, back-to-back. The way the music and the fireworks displays line up at times is profound!)

Brian got home from work around 9:30pm, and I was about halfway through The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (which is a magnificent flick!!!), so we watched the rest of that together, then went out on the porch and watch some of our neighbors perform their own fireworks shows.

This year, our neighbors weren't quite as enthusiastic as in previous years. And the ones that went all-out were obscured by trees. :(

But Brian pulled out some firecrackers he had left over, so we amused ourselves for an hour or so by hurling Blackcats and Cracker Balls off our balcony. It was pretty cool. :)

Then, after Brian waited a bit too long to throw one Cracker Ball -- resulting it in igniting in his hand, so that he had to throw it downward, so that it exploded as it passed the bottom two apartments, entirely too close for comfort.

After that, we came inside and started the fireworks DVD. ;)

But I'm having such an AMAZING time I just had to blog about it!

I hope your 4th was really, really awesome, too!!!

:D
