yes. well....

at home for less than 24 hours. nice to see the sibs and visit father darling. I feel bad though... for the evening's entertainment I picked out the winner movie "About Schmidt", and by "winner movie" I mean "horrible, horrible example of an utter cinematic failure". Actually, I didn't mind it - I thought it was poignant and accurately portrayed some of life's insecurities and realities. But it was a little too real for Dad, I think... an old man whose wife passes away, and he grows increasingly lost and bitter. Plus, at the daughter's wedding in the film, they played "Longer Than", a song that my parents sang to each other at their own wedding. Just a little too close to home, I think.

Tomorrow is a busy day, full of working out with Manzinita, followed by haircuts for both of us, and then visiting Herr J before heading back to Seattle for acapella rehearsal. Fantastic. So why am I still up at 2 when I need to be up at 8 tomorrow? Good question. Going to bed now.

Spend your nights here
We'll always be up late
Keep each other on
Chemicals can make us stay
I meant you're outta line
With your friends and all your jokes
Moving out tonight
Making phones that hot to hold

And you really didn't know
And you really didn't know

Spend your days here
And never give up now
You keep the children down
You're down for one more hour
Imagine I would feel
If your friends were all your dates
I'm moving out with her
Do you shake? you'll be ok

And if you really didn't know
I swear I really didn't know
So I'm sorry, so sorry
