Alone again...

oyceterWell, the mad week of visits is now over. The boy just left for the airport, and my apartment is strangely quiet now. I especially miss having my sister around. It was nice having her here. After my dad left, me and Ning hung around. I made her watch Strictly Ballroom, and she had her friend Grace over several times. The ahyis took us out to eat a few times (i.e. stuffed us to the gills), and I got lots of people to play Puzzle Fighter with me! I dunno, it seems more laid back then when the boy comes to visit, because with the boy there always seems to be this pressure to be doing something interesting. My sister's a lot more like me. I would get worried about entertaining her, and then realize she was sitting on the couch immersed in a book. At that point, I figured I would have hated anyone who disturbed me, so I got to read my books too. And I got Cranium, so there were games to play with my sister's friends. I'm a complete pushover for games like Pictionary or charades or Taboo or whatnot. Or Trivial Pursuit. And Cranium's a combination of all of the above. And it was nice to have a girl person to go shopping with. Because although the boy doesn't really complain, he also doesn't get excited about finding a cute jean skirt on sale or the like. So I got a nice new black skirt that will be nice for interviews, as I seem to have outgrown wdith-wise my other ones :(. And the aforementioned cute jean skirt. And some shoes. All on sale, yay.
Plus, Ning shows me how to cook. It's nice not cooking by myself too. Because again, while the boy is nice, what we each think is nutritional and good to eat is really not at all the same thing. Plus, boy doesn't really cook Chinese food. I'm still baffled by the fact that a great deal of people cook without soy sauce. I mean, theoretically I knew that, but when people tell me to cook some hamburger, I have a mental disconnect when I realize I'm not supposed to marinate that in soy sauce and oyster sauce. Oh, and I finally got my rice cooker! No more having to cook rice in pots!
Anyway, so I'm kind of lonely now.
I've had the first three discs of Stargate S3 for forever -- thinking of returning them to Netflix and starting La Femme Nikita. I think watching two seasons of Stargate in about 4 weeks has got my mind a bit boggled. Plus, I also desperately want to watch some romantic comedies and musicals because those are my comfort movies. Maybe I'll pop in Chicken Run today, because there is no possible way to watch that movie and not feel happy and goofy. I mean, hey! Chickens with teeth! I'm kind of surprised Chicago the DVD is already out... and Two Towers coming out in two days! So both of those should be coming soon from Amazon, woo! I'm hoping Two Towers will have good extra features on Eowyn and a sneak preview of RotK. I desperately want to see Eowyn pictures from RotK, but most of the ones I've found so far are Arwen, sigh. And I'm dying to watch "Class" on Chicago.
I'm just rambling now. Maybe will write some stuff about the books I read over the week later.
(one last bit -- Overnight Scentsation finally bloomed and she is absolutely gorgeous. She's very big for a mini, and she smells wonderful, and she's just a profusion of pink petals arranged perfectly, bobbing gently on her stem)
