getting out of love actually. . . .

my brother and i made one more confirmation call to each other last night about what he should being along with him on his visit with me this week. we're attempting a thanksgiving meal together with my roommate. . . and my brother will be hanging out with me for a little over a week.

the phone call started out thusly. . . .

dan: "hey, how are you?"

erika: "well, i just got out of love actually, yeah it wasn't bad."

dan: "wha?"

erika: "i just got out of love actually, and now i'm in the walgreens."

dan: "you got outta where?"

erika: "love actually, . . .the movie. . . .you know british comedy. . . . "

dan: "oooooohhhhhh. . . i thought you meant. . .. "

and well you can probably extrapolate from there. . . . i wonder if the creators planned that when they titled the movie. . .

it was actually cute. . sappy, but not overly sappy. . . i think. . or at least over sappy with a good balance of rapier wit and british swearing. . . . BOLLOCKS! there was a lot of story lines running at once, and i feel that a few were unresolved, but over all, pretty cute. . . and enjoyable.

other than that though. .. the larger part of this story is that i'm picking my brother up from the airport this afternoon. . .. i had trouble getting to sleep last night i was so excitied. we discussed books that i wanted to borrow from him. . . movies he wants to bring to share with me. . . . and a few possible upgrades for my computer that he can put together. other than that we have no formal plans. ... i think we will stop in an asian market on our way back because hey!. . .. it's thanksgiving. . . and we need more asian cuisine at my place, right?! and quite frankly. . . the rice i buy at the local supermarket is terrible! i don't know why, how. . . or anything about the different details of rice. . . but the stuff i have sucks, and the stuff i used to get at the asian market was excellent. . . . so i will be trading it out!

we have recipes from mom to work on. . . . and my roommate is bringing back a few more cooking essencials. . . like pots and pan from his short visit home this weekend. . . we do a pot, and a pan. . . but, i think this meal may require more than what those two can handle. . . blast my unbeamable (watch out! star trek reference just made) storage unit in ohio!

i hope things are well with everyone. . . . and i will probably have pictures to share as the week unfolds.

and mom. . . . thanks for the recipes!. . . but dan is now giving me a hard time because you want him to have a blog as well. . . . just remember, that this thing only lasts as long as i have unrestricted access to a computer with fast internet service. . . . so i can only guarentee about another month. . . . :o(
