 More Catch Up |

Friday night: Hung out with family. Sister and her future husband in town. They watched the basketball game and we laughed until nearly hyperventilating at stories told by my brother's funny, funny friend who's about to move to L.A. to write film scores. I brought some leftovers home for my boyfriend, who arrived later that night. Saturday was mostly a lazy day. We went to a race. I walked slow. He ran fast. My sister and her husband ran medium speed, mostly because it was his first race ever and my sister had spent the previous night barfing her guts out. We went out to lunch and read the paper over sandwiches. We played Scrabble outside at the coffee shop. We lay around and watched more episodes of Grey's Anatomy than is probably normal. I got a very sweet note in the mail from Chiara. We took a nap. I finished The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane while he was dozing and tears fell down my face. What a beautiful book. Melissa was right. We got Thai takeout and they gave us lemongrass instead of tom kah. He went home. Boo. (I know you people want to hear more about my boyfriend because you've written and told me so. There is much to tell about his fine self but hello. That is his business and I try to only post my business. I'm sorry! It's just the way it is.) I fell asleep really early and subsequently woke up at four in the morning. I read Over Sea, Under Stone for a few hours then fell back to sleep for a few more. It's amazing how easy it was to get sucked back into the story. I haven't read this series since the first time I read it, and it's still so strong. I'm seeing myself go through the whole thing again. Mostly I just can't wait to get to The Grey King, I mean, who am I even kidding? Here are my thoughts as I near the end of the first season of Grey's Anatomy. This is a fun show. My boyfriend was annoyed that music plays constantly. I explained that this is an MTV show. And it just kind of feels like that, you know? It's populated by really attractive people with great hair. It's nothing that will change your life or make you think particularly deeply. It's nothing all that groundbreaking or magnificent. But when you hold it up to what else is on TV these days, it's pretty much the best thing on for sheer entertainment value. I've never gotten into the Law and Order or CSI shows, and I feel like they're on every channel all the time, and I still love Veronica Mars and Everwood but they're never on at all, and I don't have HBO so I won't be catching The Sopranos tonight. So Grey's Anatomy is pretty much all I've got these days on the tube. Tonight my sister and I ate English muffin pizzas and watched the second episode of season four of Felicity. She's finally reached the final season and is as engaged and enraged as ever. It's very hard for me to keep my mouth shut, but it's fun. We talked a little about her wedding plans. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make all the stress go away. It's really a shame that there's no way to escape the way such a happy occasion causes so much anxiety for everyone in the world who's ever planned a wedding. I'm going to try to think of ways to make it easier on her. I love her future husband very much. Here's a little survey I thought was fun -- pick a band and answer the questions using the the band's song titles. 1. Name of band/artist: Indigo Girls 2.
