That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

My brother wants me to come into the city to hang. Umm, no. I was hesitant before this, but now, HELL no.

Yeah, it went from warning to watch over in Howard County.

Now, I feel bad for the crowds, cause I've been on the Mall for the 4th, and getting out of there takes forever.

But I like storms.

The fireworks downtown were supposed to start about now. Given Nature is putting on her own show....I'm guessing it's been cancelled.

The broadcast tower on Television Hill must be taking hits. Stations keep losing signal, pausing or going black in line with the flashes in the sky in that direction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm watching fireworks on TV, and hearing them out the window. Seeing them in person often makes me nearly pass out, and ridiculously, I'm feeling it a little even watching on TV! I think I hyperventilate or something.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm in a pub watching the fireworks with SA. I could go outside and watch them, they're two blocks away!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I watched the fireworks from my roof. Shared some chocolate cupcakes with my neighbors, too, since I found out that the friend I made them for is sick and won't be in school the next few days.

I finished my sign language homework. I am rewarding myself with the last cupcake.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Mmmm....cupcakes....

I can hear at least 3 different fireworks shows from my apartment, but I can't see a single one and didn't want to deal with The People and go out.
