My new kicks make me look like an android ninja. Which I am.

I watched big shiny robots totally beat the crap out of each other while delivering Manichean platitudes on the worth of humanity and then I bought new shoes.

Today is cool and breezy. This is probably true of ninety-five percent of Newport summer days. There is a phoebe calling outside the window. Something I have not mentioned previously is that this summer, Capitol Hill has been invaded by an army of slate-sided juncos. They are everywhere. I will see them tomorrow, when I return to the land of poliical intrigue and 1000% humidity.
Here, seagulls are everywhere. Also many robins, and flowers that have already stopped blooming three hundred miles to the south. I took many arty flower photos yesterday. Today we will eat the strawberries we picked yesterday, and also lots of meat. Most importantly, my sister and I are going to see Transformers. In the meantime, we are annoying the world by telling everyone that things are more than meets the eye.

So, I'm up in Rhode Island. I have smelled the salt breeze. I have eaten a bowl of clam chowder. I have seen that which is scrimshawed offered for sale. I have learned that the price of the crabs is "NON-NEGOTIABLE!!!"
I'll be back in the District on Thursday afternoon, and will proceed immediately to work on building up my pre-party beverage and snack stock. In the meantime, I am devoted to nothing greater than picking strawberries, reading mystery novels, and having long and mostly imaginary staring contests with the local gulls.
