looooooooooooong day. let me tell ya. I watched Doctor Who and Real World: Hollywood reruns with the dogs all day. I finished The Rites of Spring(Break) late last night (or early this morning, depending on how you look at it). And ugh! so, so good. Pity I have to wait until next summer for the final book. Speaking of final books, less than one month until Breaking Dawn!!!! So excited. so, so very excited.

So, funny story. (yes I realize I’m saying “so” a lot) Griffin had three two hour tours today. First, let me address two points. (1) Old people loooove my brother. Can’t explain it. (2) Griffin was born with a broken sense of humor. He’s living up to the blonde stereotype. (may I remind you he didnt know my first name until recently) Back to the story. So Griffin meet, and I quote, “the coolest old woman ever!”He goes on to explain how 28 years ago she was diagnosed with cancer and the doctors gave her 6 years to live. As Griffin explained, completely oblivious to the humor of the phrasing, she’s “twenty two years past her expiration date.”At this point we are all laughing so hard he has to stop the story. This then lead into a good 15 minutes of “what do they stamp that on your ass when your born?” which lead into my mother commenting if you tattooed “w”s on each check it would spell “WoW” which lead to all the things you could spell….cow, bow, pow, mom, etc. In which time griffin made clear by his confused expression he was lost. Then again that could have just been his face. Either way, my mother (god love her) decides to explain the “o” is your “sphincter.” I gave a disturbed shutter and reminded my mother she has been banned from using the word. After a few more “expiration date” jokes Griffin went back to his story. So he tells about how this lady has to carry an oxygen tank. So a few years ago when she decided to get a portable tank she got one shaped like R2D2. Griffin was ready to worship he was so impressed. Not only that. The thing was a digital camera too. Now that’s something you dont see everyday.

We watched Definately, Maybe tonight. I liked. I hadplanned to start derik’s bane today but apparently thats not the first in the series. I have to try to track down some obscure anthologies. Wish me luck. I’m going to try to make it to my friends tomorrow but I need to kick this funk first. I’ve never met these friends and I make a scary enough first impression without the puffy, snotty glory I’m currently sporting helping. oh, almost forgot. My new neighbors have a great dane. An 8 month old, Josie. I’ll post pictures soon. Goodnight. Another day, Another book.
