If there's anything that closes summer, it's the clement passing of August, the noblest of the middle months. Families have their last barbecues, Jerry Lewis interrupts our channel surfing to remind us about muscular dystrophy, and custodians pull blue, creased tarpaulin over neighborhood pools. Labor Day rewards us with an extended weekend, and then just like that, summer is over.
Did you take our advice and kiss someone under fireworks? If not, there's no need to worry; you've got about four months until the next event to plan and plot some convoluted stratagem to make it happen by the end of the year.
The last thing we'd want to hear is that your whole summer went wasted, lost under a mess of alcohol and sloth. With school in full effect and the holiday season rush of releases coming up to keep you busy, it'll be a while before you have any days or nights like the ones summer afforded.

How is this column so damn poignant every week?
Anyway, my summer was spent working at the best job I'll ever have, and finishing the last classes I'll ever take. It was a busy summer, but not a wasted one.

I spent June and July working 2 jobs and playing Advance Wars, Mario Kart DS, and Wii Sports, and then I spent all of August backpacking across Japan WITHOUT my DS. It was awesome, but now I'm fiending for gaming. Too bad I just moved and transferred to another school, so I barely have any time (but just enough to post on Joystiq).
