Easter 2009
Apr 14th 2009
The post is late, I know, but I was a bit busy yesterday with a lot of running around. So you're getting it today.
I went over to my parents for a little Easter get together, as I had mentioned previously.
One of the purposes of the visit was to go through a bunch of old stuff that my parents had stored from when I was a kid, including all of my saved stuff from grade school. That was a pretty cool, to see that old stuff again. I seemed to have an issue with spelling (well, a continuing issue with spelling…they just hadn't invented the spell checker yet). I wrote that NASA launched a satellite that weighed 300 ponds…
I brought my XBox 360 over and played some Madden with my dad in the afternoon because we haven't figured out what to do with our weekly football playing since I moved 25-30 minutes away. I ended up winning 2 games and losing 2 games, but it was fun.
By the time we were done with that my sister and her husband had arrived and we ate followed by a game of Apples to Apples which was as fun as always. They brought the expansion pack for the game this time which added more cards.
All in all a fun little family gathering. However, considering the amount of tasty treats that I came away with (cookies and a chocolate bunny. You know, standard easter stuff) I'm going to have to hit the gym soon…
Easter Everywhere!!
Apr 8th 2009
I seem to be in demand for Easter this year. I've been invited to 3 places this sunday…my grandparents, my parents and also to one of my new roommate's parents. Traditionally my grandparents have an Easter dinner thing but this year, due to circumstances that are too long to explain really, I won't be attending that one. I will be going to my parents, but if they hadn't asked I would have gone with my friends over to their dinner.
Whew, that was confusing…
Anyway, not much else to report at the current point in time. Things are still proceeding smoothly on the new apartment front. All I'm waiting for is my nightstand to arrive and I need to get a couple of shelves for game consoles and my bedroom will be complete. And we need it to not rain/snow for a day or two so we can work on cleaning off our balcony and making it a usable space.
I'll try to provide some pictures shortly.
Oh, and last night my roommate's cat actually curled up next to me and went to sleep. This is a big development as she is normally very skittish and won't even get up on the same piece of furniture as me most times. I think it was mostly because I was sitting down next to her favorite blanket.
Eggs!!

Can't have easter without some colorful eggs, now can we?
Have I mentioned how much I love my camera recently?

I'm Not Participating!!
Apr 8th 2007
The fish browsing went well yesterday. I think I've settled on doing a 20 gallon tank which is (hopefully) 24 inches wide since that's exactly how much width I have on my counter thingy seperating my "living room" from the "kitchen" here. I also got to see what a betta looks like in an actual big tank since they had them in with other fish.
After the browsing, Wassy and I went back to my place where she further corrupted me with Anime and Manga. Chobits is pretty cool. At dinner (we met up with Jason since he was done with working on his large papers) we discussed her reality warping effects. Ever since coming into contact with her all of my hobbies have pretty much changed around completley. Went from a hardcore PC gamer to a console gamer, going from hating cats to possibly wanted one (as long as it was a calm, boring cat)…hating anime to enjoying some of it. She leave chaos behind here I tell you! Dinner also featured the absolute largest piece of cheesecake that I've ever seen in my entire life.
As far as the title of the post goes, it's…snowing. In April. I've decided that I'm not going to participate in winter anymore. It's April…it should be over. So I'm just not participating.
Plans for today include reading some stuff dead people wrote for my Western Civ class and going over to my Grandmothers to hang out with the family due to today being Easter. That's pretty much the only thing Easter means to me these days…a chance to hang out with the family.
