My sister moved back to Ann Arbor on Friday, which was wonderful. She's not an easy person to get along with under normal circumstances - high strung, inordinately high sense of her own self importance, but she was worse when packing because she had so much to do. Wahhh. I had to stay home and puppysit while her shit got moved.
It was better with the parents. They finally realize that I do shit around the house and want to get out so they obliged to some degree. We had a picnic with the hound in Richland, went on a dog toy shopping trip and then to Water Street Coffee Joint in downtown Kalamazoo for tea, coffee and an excellent Chocolate Vanilla Fudge torte with toffee.
Dad set up a TV w/ my VCR/DVD player in my room so I can watch movies and get the local NBC station through the rabbit ear antenna. It's not bad.
I haven't done as much reading as I wanted to. I'm trying to read Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, but I can't get past the dullness and relative tameness of the book for a vampire fiction. It really makes sense that she's a Mormon and doesn't watch R rated movies after attempting to read it. It seems like a cleaned up bowderlized version of Laurel Hamilton's Anita Blake series.
I got 2 books read that I got from Seattle Mystery Bookshop. I might get some more books when I go to Ann Arbor from Aunt Agatha's.
Books I'm rereading include, The Historian, Elizabeth Kostova, Sandman Series, Neil Gaiman, and Brian K Vaughan's Y The Last Man series. I might pick up some more volumes in those two series with Borders buy 4 graphic novels, get the 5th free that runs through the end of the month, in addition to some Batman ones, including Year One and the Long Halloween.
