May. 8th, 2010 10:42 amSo, yes, here I am. In Texas. I brought the cold weather with me, which is awesome.
Last night's flight wasn't really as awful as some transportation nightmares I've had, in terms of not having to change gates or get back on planes and such (for that, I refer you to the "the day I spent in abia" tag in my archives) but I was definitely more overwhelmed mentally than usual. There was a lot going on outside of the chair I was sitting in and for some reason I was subject to all of it.
But this morning there were mango smoothies, and we made a custard for later, and we're about to go out shopping, which will be fun. I am introducing my family to sushi and then we're going to the art store. MORE AS EVENTS DEVELOP. :D

May. 8th, 2010 03:35 pmHome from adventur! FOR NOW.
I took Mum and Emmy out to sushi today. We've done it once before but last time they got non-sushi dishes, and this time I made sure I explained Maki and Nigiri and all the different kinds of roll there are. I think it went relatively well. Mum has declared that she only likes "crunchy" rolls, and Emmy made me swear that none of what we got had raw fish in it, but it's a good first step. We got philly roll, shrimp tempura roll, and chicken satay (ON STICKS, for great lol) and were pleasantly full afterwards for our trip to Jerry's Art O Rama, which is the big hippie indie art store around these parts.
Holstein the Wonder Chihuahua has stopped peeing on me and stealing my underwear, but he still mainly sees me as something to climb on in order to get a better view out of the window at the squirrel.

May. 8th, 2010 06:48 pmThis isn't so much "Out of context" theatre as it is "Would context really help?" theatre.
1. Mum: I should do a vinegar study.
2. Emmy: I'm just saying that TARDIS sounds like a belt a man would wear to keep his penis in place.
3. Sam: It's not a deformed toe. It's a unique toe! It's your unique toe.
3a. Okay, Mum put on a DVD of Big Bang Theory this evening and, among other observations, she pointed out to me the thing hanging on the wall in the apartment set. Behind the guy in the green jacket in this one, and the guy in purple in this one.
NONE OF US CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS. WHAT IS IT? SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME. I promised her I'd ask the internet!

May. 8th, 2010 10:25 pmI finally got to see Doctor Who! Which means it's time for...
Sam's Three Things About Doctor Who, Episode 5.06: ( Vampires of Venice )
3a. One thing I truly love about this show and kinda didn't think about till just now was that while it doesn't always follow the same formula, you do sometimes see a formula pop up repeatedly, one of which is the one where the Doctor vows halfway through an episode to kick someone's ass all over town and then proceeds to do so. I love this mainly because once he has sworn to kick ass, there's a great pleasure in watching him figure out how the ass is to be kicked and then execute his plan of kickassage.
Sam's Three Things About Classic Who, I'm afraid, is postponed until tomorrow or possibly Monday, due to technical difficulties.
