Random Thanksgiving updates
Nov. 29th, 2002 01:24 amThe turkey was good. Mmm turkey. As was the pie, though I feel slightly betrayed by the fact that it was cool whip and not real whipped cream. Grandma came over, and...she's doing much better than my other grandmother, who no longer recognizes me, but she's also gaining a lot of weight because of water retention and generally becoming more...I don't know if there's a word. I'm glad she lives here so she can be with us fairly often.
Tomorrow I work the set-up shift at Mid-Ohio Con from 3-9. Ugh, I hope it doesn't take that long. (Eric, remember our fun weekend of kickassedness and capitalism last year? I will totally miss you this year, it just won't be the same.) Really not looking forward to driving to Easton on Bigass Shopping Day, but hopefully I can park at the hotel...I don't mind the crowds, in fact it makes me think of shopping as a competitive sport, which is kind of fun, but parking annoyances just chap my ass.
And am enjoying the vacation. My mom loves Thanksgiving because you get to be lazy the whole holiday and I agree. I keep having moments of Terror over the stupid-assed catapault design project waiting for me, but I try and think positively and keep my mind on relaxing fun things. Like playing Kingdom Hearts, for instance. Playing on the large tv in the family room is FUN. Also I cannot seem to stop leveling up once I start. I think I'm at 68 right now. It's the momentum or something.
Watching some X-Files right now. I think "Herrenvolk" is on. XF has been on Sci-Fi all day, and all the quality mytharc is making me misty for the days when the show not only didn't suck but kicked ass and made me tape it and read lots of fic. Ahh, fandom nostalgia. I may not be a Bitter Old Fic Queen but I strongly suspect that I am sometimes a Bitter Old Fandom Wench. Though today my mother amused me immensely by mocking David Duchovny's crappy blah-acting. Love you, mom. I never thought she noticed before. I introduced her to Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust last night, and she liked it, though I doubt she'll fill out a membership to ANO anytime soon. It'd be cool if I could show her Hellsing and she could join our little harem for Alucard. On the other hand...perhaps not.
Damn, I seem to run out of things to say.
