Friday. Well, it was a thing with the whole HP book release. ( But let me start from the beginning. )
Saturday. Spent the day with parents. Lunch, dinner, etc. Valentine (the construction guy who's going to rebuild the garage into a liveable room, and repave the front walkway) took us to one of the houses a couple of blocks down from us to show us their unfinished basement room (that he's working on currently). It was really awesome looking, I'm so jealous of the room that Maryann's going to have! ^^ (But in a good way.)
Sunday. Went to work, unfortunately. Boring day, but I picked up Lady Sophia's Lover by Lisa Kleypas (sequel to a book I'd recently read by her, Someone to Watch Over Me). Both were really good. Neither pair of hero & heroine were stupid! Yay! I was very surprised when I read StWOM 'cause Lisa Kleypas's older stuff is a little too... *vein twitch* for me. But these are really cute, satisfying, not stupid, and the sex (at least in LSL 'cause I don't remember StWOM too well) is pretty steamy for romance novels nowadays. They seemed to have hit a plateau. I definitely liked LSL better, but StWOM was very good and although it isn't necessary to have read StWOM first, LSL is better if you have.
Later, Maryann's parents drove her over to my house with her 13-year old cat, Baby. ^^ We wanted to do a little visit so that Baby wouldn't freak out too much when Maryann moved in and never went back home. OMG, at first she hid between the foot of my bed and the dresser, then under the typewriter table at the side of my desk, then later on top of the books on the bottom shelf of my bookcase. There were barely 3 inches of space there, so she was all spread out, but curled around on top of the books; she looked like a dragon in a cave. So adorable, I had to take a picture (which will be posted later today). After a while, and coaxing by Maryann, she came out and walked around a bit, eventually venturing into the hallway and bathroom area of my basement. She stayed in the bathroom for quite a while; we can't figure out if it was because it was cooler and darker in there, or if she had to go to the bathroom, or some combination of the two... even though she didn't end up "going" to the bathroom.
I drove her home around 1:30am. Eh, no sleep. =(
For anyone who's interested, I shall upload some Warp 11 songs to my site later tonight. Red Alert is their 2nd album, the music is rock. I'd suggest trying songs from here first as they're not as hard/punk as the songs from their first album, Suck My Spock. Go to their website to read hysterical, witty, and blatantly suggestive lyrics, by album.
