Does anyone else traditionally watch “appropriate” movies for July 4?
Magically, yesterday actually felt like a holiday. Got some good relaxing and reading and game playing and eating in. I’m going to make another round of cupcakes today, because I can. mmmm.
econ – I really should pull out the other computer and sort out that one to-do. Monday at latest.
studying – I’m doing much much better at working or tackling hard problems, but I’m still not doing a good job on volume of them. I think I may need to spread out which chapters I’m working on so getting it right is better than getting through.. hrm…
research – stumped, but reported in and haven’t gotten a flaming email back yet. Meeting Tuesday. I have a few more references I can look through this weekend if I’m just desperate to get something done. *goes and puts that other book on hold* (boo they don’t do holds on local books. I just have to a) remember I mean to get it and b) hope no one else wants it before Tuesday. Don’t they understand that I am easily distracted?)

I’d say “Wag the Dog” is pretty appropriate. But not as much as Independence Day. I love that movie! (and, no, I don’t have a list of July 4th movies, but if I did, ID4 would be on top)
We watch Independence Day most years. Nothing quite like watching Will Smith give the old what-for to an alien he’s dragging in a parachute to make you proud of your country!
We usually watch Independence Day too! Thought I’d mix it up a little this year, and Wag the Dog happened to have floated to the top of the Netflix q.. (Thank You for Smoking was also on the short list. “What makes America the greatest country in the world?” “Our endless appeals system.”)
