cerulean_skyI am in New Jersey with Mira and her family. They are lovely, and something like my family at its best, really. So far, we've watched the first few episodes of Sport's Night (a show we've both seen already and love), Sixteen Candles (which I had never seen before but LOVED as predicted), Casanova (yes, the Heath Ledger thing that I also had not seen which, interestingly, the boy who is playing Tristran in the Stardust movie is also in), and then finally Hidalgo (which we've both seen many times, but Viggo Mortensen never fails to distract). (Run on sentence, yay!)
As for tomorrow, all I can say is that there is a) a shower and b) a mall in my future. My mother gave me her credit card and instructions to get clothing (since I don't own any pants that aren't jeans and I don't own any shirts that I could possibly wear in a professional or non-casual setting) and there are convenient malls here in Jersey.
Not to mention the fact that I needed to do laundry. So I ended up bringing my laundry and I am doing it here. Which is very nice of Mira and her family.
Mira's room is amazing. I wish I had this many books. I tend to gather a lot of things which take up space, but Mira's room is filled with books. It's actually amazing. I cannot wait to get all my books back and have them with me all the time. I need my books. It kills me that I have to keep weeding them out and sending them home to Santa Fe to preserve any sense of space in my dorm. (Not that this stops me from buying new books all the time... This is, of course, a bad thing. Which is should stop. But probably won't. -_-;;)
My dad is coming into town Monday night, but I'm not seeing him until Tuesday (due to the jetlag we are estimating that he will have). On Wednesday Mira and her father and my father and I are all having dinner. Before my dad and I got to see Sondheim's Company. I don't know much about this adventure, but I think it will be fun. My dad and I are also seeing an opera (though I cannot remember which one right now... it's in an email he sent me...) and then on Saturday he and I are seeing Tom Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia. All three plays. In one day. I am really excited. I cannot wait. I love Stoppard.
Thank you ladies and gents, this has been a real entry for the first time in a while. We hope you enjoyed it.
