NOLA (++)
We did absolutely nothing productive or responsible today. :)
Peg made a failed attempt to get a snowball (local confection, basically a Hawaiian ice except not), then hung out in the backyard and fed our hosts' darling (and sociable!) pet bunnies and wrote in her journal for a bit.
I added a few observations to the Arsenal of Peace, did some pondering for Parallax Ch. 2, played a ton of Card Quest, drove up the road for some BBQ, caught up on Documentary Now! and DuckTales, watched a few episodes of The Prisoner, attempted (and failed) to spoil Jordan Peele's Us for myself, booked my first couple of farewell meetups, and made one (unsuccessful) last ditch effort to get the local housecat to let me pet her.
In an alternate universe not too far away, we were frantically scrambling for an apartment all day today, with someone's attempted schemes re: The Thing overshadowing the whole effort, and over there I am currently at the brink of tears.
But today I feel happy, stable, and ready to start a whole new phase of my life-- in a place where I might actually be allowed to grow. I think we've earned a whole day of doing absolutely nothing.
media, one little fight, smell ya later
Oh, and I also watched this surprisingly good fan-trailer that remakes The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as a gritty modern family drama...
