In California right now. My sister's military deployment ends this week, so my Mom and I flew back to San Diego to visit her for the Navy's homecoming thingy, which is on Wednesday. We will probably be here till Friday afternoon.
I'm looking forward to seeing my sister again and have been looking forward to this trip for awhile now (nine days off of work! whoo!), I really enjoy visiting California, but as it got closer to the day of departure, the more I sort of wanted to stay home and not get out of bed instead. But I feel like that whenever I have some big activity planned . "On one hand, I could go out and have a lot of fun. But that will require energy and I would enjoy sleeping almost as much." Plus, it was raining when I left on Oklahoma, nothing is better than sleeping in on a rainy morning. I think I need to work on being less lazy. (Not terribly likely.)
Was torn between bringing Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day or To Say Nothing of the Dog to reread while on the plane. I went with the latter because it has been longer since I read that one and also, it would take longer to finish. Just the first chapter alone reminded me of how I love that book, it really is one of my favorites.
So far have not accomplished doing too much. Have managed to not yet burn down/flood my sister's apartment. Ate some awesome ramen at Mitsuwa market. And spent nearly an hour in the bookstore there. That is how bad I am about bookstores. I had to be dragged out of there and it's not like I can even read Japanese. Whatever, I found some cute craft books and they had pretty pictures.
Hopefully, sometime this week I will try to go to the photography museum in Balboa Park and there is even a Star Trek exhibit at one of the other museums there too. OH HELL YEAH. *geeks out*
Oh! And speaking of sci-fi, I finished watching Series 2 of Torchwood this week. It was a very confusing experience. I'd heard that Series 2 was an improvement over the first and I think that's true, in a way. There aren't quite as many headdesk/WTF moments. But it is incredibly wrong that Torchwood should make me cry that much. The "To the Last Man" episode made me so depressed. Poor Tommy and Tosh! Tosh has the worst romantic life of anyone on tv. Torchwood needs to be less sad and more on teh crack. I did like the first episode and the one where Gwen gets impregnated by aliens on her wedding day. See, amusing, goofy things can be good, not just doom and despair, Torchwood writers. The season finale was the most depressing of all, so terrible that it even upset Hitler.
That video is all kinds of wrong, but if you can't mock Nazis, who can you mock?
Going to bed now, will have diner food and tea in the morning, yay.
