Good Day, Good Day

[the_gneech]

Today was very nice all around. Laurie and I saw "Kate and Leopold," which was a pleasant "light romance" movie. Hugh Jackman was very good; Leopold is a very different character from Wolverine. I think he's got a great future ahead of him, and I envy his looks and voice in totally unhealthy ways. Meg Ryan was the same old Meg Ryan who's been in every chick flick ever made. If you like Meg Ryan, well, you'll get more of the stuff you like. If you don't like Meg Ryan, well, don't expect any respite from her here.

I also watched the Funday Pawpet Show while hanging out in #pawpet in character as Drezzer ... my favorite Sunday night activity. The show was extra good tonight, and followed up by a special segment they did as part of their "Give Kids the World" charity work. They really are wonderful, special people, for all I was annoyed at them last week.

Uncle Kage also told me that he was quite pleased by my response to the FPS list, so apparently we're all a big happy family again and life is good.

There was only one thing that marred my day a bit, and it was minor. LK, in response to my little teasing note that I'd bought him a present, apparently jumped in his car and came down to Virginia, and is even now spending the night over at Camstone's place.

LK, I love you like a brother, really I do ... but I don't even want my brother to drop by without warning. If you want to visit, that's great, I'd love to see you -- but you need to arrange it in advance. I have been known to refuse to open the door for people who "just dropped by."

I'll probably try to catch him for a bit before he goes back in the morning, because I would like to see him. But I was a tad miffed to get home and find a message announcing that he was on the way. I had to draw tonight, and it's also Pawpets night ... both of which are not really group activities.

Eeeeh?! (Just like in an Animé)

What's pawpet? (My feline curiosity ^_^)
Boy, an unexpected visit, too bad about that. (I don't know what to really say, I've never had that happen before. But that is assuming that I did anything that would merit that. ^_^)
Well, it is nice to know that you had a good day. I finally finished my reading. (Check journal for details.)
Well, then, good-night! Oyasumi-nasai!

I don't like ANYONE showing up at my house unannounced....my parents have been trained over the past 10 1/2 years.....my brother, though, showed up on my doorstep with his wife and two children a few weeks ago...if it wasn't Xmastime, since he knows the rules, I'd have NOT answered the door....but I know he's on a tight schedule and I ended up just telling him 92 times NOT to do it again.....conversely, I never just show up on anyone's doorstep...I always call ahead if I'm in the neighborhood or prearrange visits in advance.....the only exception was my grandparents and they've both been gone for quite a while....

Gneech,

Suggestion noted.

BTW, it just wasn't the fact of your buying something that sent me towards VA. As I had mentioned, I needed some time away from South Jersey.

I had called Camstone earlier and asked if he was doing anything. He said he wasn't later last (Sunday) night. It was after my inital phone call to Cam that I called you.

Believe me, I would find it more that a slight bother to just hop in a car, drive 3 hours to find the person I was visiting wasn't home. :=/

You can be assured that I won't just show up on your doorstep un-announced.

In my case all vistors are welcome, announced or not, though a little fore warning would be appreciated so I can neaten up a little. :=3

A phone call, to me, is always a good idea, to make sure that I'm home and not down at the RR or working the late shift at Mickey D's, though.

Just so you understand, no hard feelings on my end. :=3

Cool. :) I've had people drive in from out of town, when I wasn't home, and leave me nastygrams because I wasn't there to greet them, before. It irked me at the time, and has made me a bit paranoid ever since. I hope you had a nice visit. -TG
