Life is a Cabaret

Hah. I say I'm going to update more often, and then I go for three weeks without posting anything. :p It's not even like I didn't have anything to say.

For instance, tomorrow I'm leaving on a trip to visit Twin, who's at school in Arizona. I'm driving down there, spending the night in Vegas with a friend who's currently living there, then getting in to Flagstaff Friday afternoon. I'll leave on Monday, stay the night with my friend again, and then get home on Tuesday.

Twin is going to take me to the Grand Canyon. Eee! I've never been there. And I've heard Sedona is interesting, so we're gonna go there too. Along with some other stuff.

Am very excited!

In other news, Happy Halloween. :p

Does anyone know when Croatoan is going to be released on iTunes? I've got the first eight episodes of Supernatural S2, and I've got Hunted on TiVo, but I do prefer watching episodes in order. But failing my ability to watch Croatoan soon, do I need to have seen it in order to get everything in Hunted? It's just that I've been reading the flist squee about it, and now I really wanna watch it.

In other news, I got my leave of absence, and on Sunday my dad and I are going up to move me out and bring my car back down. And Twin left yesterday to go back to her school. Sigh. Figures that she finishes her leave of absence just as I start mine. I will miss her, but at least I won't have to miss the rest of my family at the same time.

OMG AM HOME FOR A MONTH NOW!

Also, my parents are awesome. Two different conversations:

(In the airport, waiting for my bags to come)
MOM: I want to go see movies soon. Are there any you want to see?
ME: Narnia!
MOM: I want to see that too!
ME: Oh, and Memoirs of a Geisha!
MOM: Me too! I love that book.
ME: I also want to see Brokeback Mountain.
MOM: So do I. I've heard good things about it.

So sometime soon, I will be seeing, among other things, a movie about gay cowboys with my mother. :D

(After dinner)
ME: *comes out to the living room, with my computer power cord that has the fraying protective coating* I think I need to get a new power cord.
MOM: Why don't we just get you a new laptop?
ME: Um, mine still works fine, even if it's a bit slow...
DAD: Well, it is four or five years old now. We can get you a new one.
MOM: Think about it.

So...I'm thinking about it. :p Do any of you have any particular recommendations for laptop models? I don't think I need anything in particular for college, save one that does the usual computer stuff like write documents, print, and go on the internet. *g*

I still feel a bit bemused that my parents had to convince me to let them buy me a new laptop--this isn't the first conversation we've had about it, 'cause my twin got a new one for graduation, and my parents offered to get me one then too.

Though still, my computer does work just fine, even if I should probably get a new power cord...

Anyway, am finally home again with all my 600+ books, as opposed to the fifty or so I had up there, and I'm pretty tired, so I'm going to read and go to bed (relatively) early. :)
