Jan. 17th, 2015 09:38 pmI finished The Martian tonight. Final verdict - good read. The detailed science gets a bit too much sometimes but it does add to realism. And I liked shifting POVs - that actually worked. Nice easy read that feeds into my excitement and interest in space program. (I loved my visit to Kennedy Space Center in 2008).
I also watched the new episode of "Grimm" while Tanya napped on me. Well, I didn't finish all the episode yet because it started buffering on Hulu - but it was tense so far and I can't wait to finish it to see what happens. One tense scene with Juliette and Rosalee shocked me that I was begging for it to be a dream sequence. Wow, Grimm. Kudos for that. For the show that started as a big boys club, the women grew so much as characters and are awesome. It is also the show where I enjoy the canon pairings very much and root for all.
Today, Marianna and family and Yeva came over. Originally, the plan was to go to Queens to Marianna's apartment but she felt it was too messy and asked on Friday if they could come over instead. It's fine - less traveling and disruption for us, but it also meant the get together was later. I always show up o
n time since I hate being late. But for Marianna, and especially, Yeva, time is very relative. Luckily, I adjust my internal clock two hours in expecting them so I don't get cranky. I knew lunch would really be dinner. We ordered Thai food from this place nearby I discovered online. It was very tasty. I wanted Thai food for so long - go Drunken Noodles.
Ida and Tanya match well on skills, as they should, being only two days apart. Tanya is definitely more of an observer and more serious baby. Ida is a happy baby who smiles a bit more and babbles more. They liked looking at each other. Tanya knows how to use a sippy cup, rolls more and sleeps better at night, Ida can sit a bit longer leaning forward and has two teeth already. Tanys is very scheduled (because I need organization and schedule from feeding to naps to bedtime), Ida doesn't have one (because Marianna is more relaxed). Both of us are happy that way and I love that we can offer each other tips and advice from our different parenting styles. Galya was a very social 3 year old too. So full house today and so great to see everyone.
Yesterday's "Glee" episode made me nostalgic for "Jagged Little Pill" album, so I put my tape (yes, tape) of it on while I was making chocolate chip muffins for the guests this morning. I love that CD. I got it from a boyfriend for my 17th birthday, and didn't really listen to it then. But when I was 18 and a half and a friend was visiting and wanted to play it, I discovered that I love most of the songs from it when they play on the radio. So from then on, I listened to that album a lot. (Weird fact - I see a dog when I look at that cover looking straight, instead of a face looking up)
