so yeah, jorn mentioned that he got this new N64 game called Pokemon Snap! and it's really fun. and i LOVE it. it's seriously the cutest game ever. you just go around this island and take pictures of really cute pokemon, and you don't have to kill anything or fight anything or capture anything. you just try to get the best and cutest pictures, and try to get the pokemon into fun poses. on saturday night, i watched Enterprise and then played this game till jorn got home from the radio station, and i only really meant to play it for a little while so i could watch an episode of buffy. and you know how i love buffy. anyway, we watched two episodes this morning, so it was all good.
friday night, jorn and i drove to raleigh to meet up with an old professor of mine (Walt Reeser, anyone? he taught the grammar class at SU, and probably writing sem or something). he's just an awesome guy, we got along so well, and he happened to be in raleigh on business (he's not teaching at SU anymore), so i got the chance to go have dinner with him. yay! and it was after we got home on friday night that we began playing Pokemon Snap (we finished the game today).
anyway, i also spent a good portion of this weekend at blandwood. i gave one tour yesterday and two today (not a whole lot for a three-hour shift), but i didn't feel like my time was wasted because yesterday i entered a bunch of items into the new computer inventory system (david gave me a stack of things to enter, and i got all of it done), and today i helped the christmas crew with decorating the house. it was fun! i love christmas decorations. maybe soon i'll post a picture of my mom's house at christmas time. hmm.
in other news. tonight i got all my shizz packed up. i'm staying at jorn's tonight, and then leaving earlyearly tomorrow morning to drive to PA for thanksgiving. i don't have any classes this week, and i had some hours saved up from work, so i decided to just take the whole week off and go teh fuck home. i'm going to surprise my mom, too--i made sure i wasn't home when she called me, and i didn't call back (we talk every sunday night). she's not expecting me till tuesday night, so she'll be so so excited to see me when i'm there when she gets home from work! of course, i'm planning on leaving at 7am to achieve this, but oh well. we do these things. it'll make her happy.
so yeah. don't expect an update for a few days. if i get on my parents' computer, hopefully it'll be to work on some poems, not to get online.
