annundrielMom and Dad came over Thursday night for the various gift shows in Seattle. Mom spent Friday and Saturday buying stuff for the flower shop. Fun.
Friday Dad picked me up at the dorm after I had my meeting with Dr. Cumberland. It went really well. Really liked talking with her, but still not sure what I think of her in class. We came up with a topic for my research paper, but I think I'm going to change it a little. The idea we came up with had to do with a Classics Illustrated edition of Frankenstein and comparing it with the actual text. But that's going to require hunting down an out-of-print comic. Or finding another version. Which takes *time*. Not a whole lot of that lying around here. So, over the weekend I found a version of Kafka's The Metamorphosis. I'll run that by her on Tuesday.
So Dad picked me up and we went to Kay and Greg's where we watched I Love the 90s, Part Deux and I Love the 70s. Then we went and picked up Mom and spent the night watching the Sci-fi channel. Claudia Black was on SG-1! She was awesome and hilarious. Li'l bit of a girlcrush there. I even had a Stargate: Atlantis related dream. Don't remember it very well.
Saturday we went to the mall and I bought Coupling Season 4!! (Jack!) And Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars!! (Yea!) Also bought a couple of CDs. That night, instead of going to a movie - we were all too tired, we stayed in and randomly watched Ginger Snaps. Not entirely sure just what I thought about it. Didn't think it was a total waste, at least. Then we watched some crap movie on the Sci-fi channel with John-Rhys Davies.
The "major" thing that happened Saturday? A little while after the crap movie finished, I finished reading Barefoot Gen. Really enjoyed it. But it kicked my ass. And then it used my kicked ass to wipe up the floor. Damn, but it was upsetting. At one point near the very very end, I had a slight panic attack at one of the pictures. All I could think was, "OMG, get it away. I can't look. I can't look." I *cried*. It killed me.
Today we saw Nana Fran and went to Barnes & Noble, where Mom bought Jon Stewart's book about America. Then my parents went home. And, yeah, that's about it. Neesha finally gave me her opinion about the very small piece of writing I sent her last week. So I sent her another piece of fanfiction. This one was finished! And even got feedback for already! Score. So, that's awesome. Makes me want to write more. Which is a very *good* thing.
But now, it's off to bedforshire with me.
