26 Nisan/10 April, 2010
Apr. 10th, 2010 11:00 pmMama wanted to go to Washington DC to look at the cherry blossoms. The blooming was maybe a week ago but they figured they could still see something, so my parents are away this weekend. They found a nice deal on a hotel. I get to have a house to myself. Well, and Bear, since I invited him over this weekend. (And my parents like knowing that I won’t be alone in the house).
I slept so soundly in the morning that I didn’t even hear my parents leave. That usually doesn’t happen with me. But I guess I needed the sleep. I had a nice leisurely breakfast, watched “Real Time with Bill Maher” and marinated the chicken. They I spend a lot of time just reading my new Dresden Files book. Having an afternoon to read was just nice (Bear wasn’t coming over until almost dinner time, since he had work and then wanted to work out after).
I did discover that I had to go to the library around 3pm since I couldn’t renew the book of essays about Jane Austen online – it was on hold for someone. I haven’t read the book yet but that’s fine. I skimmed it and read some essays on the way to the library. Considering that it was a really nice and summery and warm day, the long walk to the library was actually good for me. I know I need to exercise more, or at least walk. I need better habits.
I cooked my rice pilaf and mango ginger chutney chicken. The rice came out really well and chicken was ok. It was good chicken but I’m not really a fan of the sauce. The level of sweetness was a bit off. But it was still a good dinner and Bear ate it all.
We had cake late at night as we resumed out Alien movie watch with “Alien 3.” I’ve never seen Alien 3 before so I was looking forward to that. Maybe because it was pretty late when we watched it and I was sleepy, but I wasn’t that thrilled with the movie. It was good as a horror flick but there were some sequences like trying to corner the alien in the tunnel that made no logical sense to me. Ripley was a good character as usual but she was now really the only woman in the movie that emphasized that but having all other men be criminals who haven’t seen a woman in ages. There were racial stereotypes too that were a bit off putting. But I did have fun eating the raspberry cake and watching the movie with Bear.
