your commencement so dangerous

[enthusiastick]

I started in on the monster cleaning project today. I don't mean any offense to my former roommates, but its like I've been living with animals. I moved all furniture in the common area to get at the rug and vacuum it, and discovered some truly staggering stuff under our couches (the most palatable of which was the remote for Josh's TV.) If we had rats or cockroaches in this building, this apartment would be condemned by now. I never really helped out with the cleaning, so I suppose I can't complain legitimately.

Still have to do the kitchen and hopefully my room before my family shows up for graduation. They fly in late tomorrow (Thursday, whenever) night, but I won't be seeing them 'till Friday. Plenty of time, right?

I beat the Savage Labyrinth as well as the bitchy timed Forest Haven sidequest in Legend of Zelda: the Windwaker. That means I have a handful of other sidequests I feel like tying up at best before tackling the final dungeon and battle with Ganon. I'm actually sad to see it go, its been nice playing a videogame again. If only they all appealed to me as much as that one. Maybe I'll start playing City of Heroes like everyone else. Or maybe I'll just play a lot more Mordheim. My figures should be arriving soon.

Drove with lassarina and calhin to pick up lassarina's mother at O'Hare tonight. Then she treated us all to dinner at Lonestar, which was super nice. Hmm, steak and country music. lassarina's mother is... interesting. Meeting her sort of went a long way to understanding where her daughter came from.

There's this line in Run Lola Run, in one of red-lit bedroom scenes between Lola and Manni. Its the first one, I think, where Lola is asking Manni what he feels and how he knows he loves her. And at the tail end of the scene he asks her if she's thinking of leaving him, and her reply is something to the effect of "I don't know. I think I have a decision to make." Its always struck me as a spectacularly cruel and terrifying thing to say to someone you're in bed with. Lately I've been wondering, though, whether that's not just my immature insecurity and uncertainty talking. Maybe in Real Life relationships, you can say that sort of thing without it being the end of the world. I don't know, tho'.

With regard to the mother, I know exactly what you mean. Exactly.

*frustrated noise* I suppose that means neither of you is going to explain.
