Likes/ Dislikes of August

Likes: Oberon, chicken nuggets, the new album by Beirut (The Rip Tide), listening to Mr. November by The National, the lyrics from that song: I'm the new blue blood, I'm the great white hope & I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders, Breaking Bad, Moose Drool, Stella Artois, swimming in Lake Michigan, riding my bike along LSD, EVERYTHING RAVAGED, EVERYTHING BURNED BY WELLS TOWER, especially the stories The Brown Coast and Executors of Important Energies and I haven't even got to reread On the Show yet, the Sox hanging in there, Buerhrle's defense (clockwork), Konkero hitting as usual on (one!) leg, Razzles (first candy, then gum!), Winesburg, Ohio, that path along the river where I took a picture of (what I think are) a falcon and a heron, seeing deer standing feet away while riding home from the store, home-made chex mix, the little I've read from Underworld, those Levi's commercials that have okay music, but make me feel hopeful for my generation and rebellious at the same time, Wilfred (that episode with the mom from Malcolm in the Middle), 30 Rock going to be 'GN in September

Dislikes: not cooked all the way chicken nuggets that bled fat and look they're dripping pimple puss, the lyrics:
I'm the great white hope (I feel a tinge of awkwardness when I sing it in my mock Matt Beringer voice in my head), only one more season of Breaking Bad, the Sox teasing me, Adam Dunn, those Levi's commercials that make me feel hopeful, and rebellious at the same time, but show few jeans in the actual commercial, getting a flat while riding down to the Lake, only swimming in the Lake once, too much rain, internet being out for a few days, not being able to use my labtop, the summer winding down, Starling Castro not paying attention during games, the Bears' O-line, Razzles (not really candy, and not good chewing gum)
