How I Spent Indepence Day Weekend. By Matthew Shevin.

When someone sitting near us at Son of a Gun ordered one of these, we bet on whether it was a burger or dessert. Turns out it was a push: the Italian Burger – gianduja, brioche (toasted like a burger bun), caramel and maldon.

Speaking of dinner, a Great White bit a swimmer at the pier by my house. That’s gotta smart.

He’ll live. And he’s got a lot to look forward to. “Community,” one of my favorite TV shows, had been canceled by NBC. But yesterday, Yahoo Screen picked it up for a new season. Thank you, Jesus.

It was the worst-grossing box office for July 4th weekend since 1999. But that ain’t on me – I saw three films, and spent the equivalent of a small country’s GNP for one of them.
