Having a much better day than previously. Really. Today has been nice and quiet and relaxing.
Yesterday I went to Wenatchee with Grandma and Nicholas. That was, um, emotionally taxing. Really, everything would be much better if people just didn't talk sometimes. I almost fell asleep in the car on the way there because it was too early for me and really? Nothing interesting was going on. However, the driving should have been enough to scare me awake. I find it highly amusing that the only time Grandma used her turn signal was when we turned into our own driveway. Yikes.
And then Nicholas is so damned...I don't know, um, prejudiced? With absolutely no compunction about throwing words like "fag" around. First that happened at Dairy Queen, and then on the way home somehow Middle Eastern religions were brought up (seriously, I don't know how this happened. I was happily ensconced in a magazine though.) and he insisted that, even if he had been raised that way, he wouldn't believe all of that "crap." At which point I did pipe up with, "If it's all you know, it's all you know."
Ugh.

Monday my package from Amazon came. Yea! Got Coldplay's new CD. Haven't really listened to all of it yet, but it's damn spiffy. Also got Stargate Atlantis: Rising on DVD. It's shiny. I hope there are bloopers somewhere on the boxed set that's due to come out later. And more commentaries, especially with actors. On Gateworld there's now an interview with David Nykl up. It deserves to be listened to rather than read. He's fantastic. ::hearts::
Speaking of Stargate, Dad and I spent mid-afternoon watching episodes. I'm on the final disk of season four. Woo. Slowly but surely I'm making my way through. I'm not too happy with certain developments (Martouf!), but all in all it's all good. "Window of Opportunity" was friggin' hilarious. Loved the door in Teal'c's face. And the golfing through the 'gate. That would be fun. "Point of No Return" also cracked me up. Especially with Teal'c being "Murray" and the vibrating bed. Anyway, it's been fun. There have been a couple of eps where I start to get involved in the action and worry about SG-1 making it, and then I remember that, d'uh, of course they make it. They make it to season nine. Even Jacob makes it to eight.
Anyhoo. Apparently Tom and I (probably Nicholas too, now that I think about it) are going to see Star Wars tonight. But that's not 'til later.

olivelavonne and anyone interested, here is the link for a truly hilarious piece of Firefly fanfiction. Big Damn Zombies, Sir by Shrift. It's seriously funny. (Look! Oxymoron!)
