So, I just had a very nice and satisfying evening. We rented "The Big Lebowski" and the entire family (me, dad, grandma) all watched in the basement on the new setup. Dad's prettymuch finished redoing the rec room down there and it's quite inviting. I was afraid grandma would not want to watch the film, with all the cursing of course, but apparently marmots and ruined corvettes are fun no matter how old you are. Just more evidence that my grandmother is badass.
Her hyper-active social life even intruded about 1/3 of the way into the film, when she got a call from one of her old friends who apparently was lonely and wanted to talk. But that was OK by me since I used the time to make a pot of delicious decaf coffee, which we consumed for the remainder of the film.
It was a nice substitute for an "old" college favorite, staying up and watching movies/working with coffee. MMMM night coffee, you are often so much better than morning coffee. I bet LE is drinking a lot of you these days with all her early writing mornings and such.
...I wonder if they drink coffee in Mauritania... which i apparently constantly misspell. Ah, there. it is on the spellcheck function. Anyway, I know they drink tea, which Claire prefers anyway. man I could go for some tea bazaar deliciousness right now. sigh.
Well if I get work at one of the institutions I'll only be half an hour away, so outings would be possible. We'll see.
Hope all is going well.
