Parents, puppies and partial lobotomies
Lots going on lately. Not really with me, but I'm content with piggy-backing on other people's adventures :).Parents got back from British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico last night. They walked through the gate all tanned and relaxed-looking, perma-smiles plastered all over their sun-soaked faces. I, on the other hand, had been waiting at the airport for an hour and a half, the airport website having said their flight was arriving half an hour early when it was in fact three quarters of an hour late. But whatever, I got presents :D.
In short, they had a good time. But who wouldn't, after spending 14 rum-filled days in a place that looks like this:
Sailing around in one of these:
Acting like one of these:
Yes, that is my father. It's moments like these that make me proud to be a Harrison.
Anyway, lots of fun, and they brought home a ton of booze, which is just fantastic.
In other news, I went to see the new additions to the Pinault/Buckingham households last week. Mainly, three hairy creatures which can just barely pass for dogs. None of them weigh more than the average housecat, the smallest coming in at just over 2lbs. Here's the visuals.
The Pinaults are the proud/aggravated (depending on whether you talk to Robin or Pierre) owners of Storm (aka Bullet):
and Buddy (aka Superman):
And Mrs. Buckingham also got a squirrel--uh, I mean maltese puppy, named Snowy:
The lot of them are adorable. I had a blast playing with Snowy for almost two hours while Robin and her mom visited. I took a couple dozen pictures of both dogs to show Lauren when I head over to Fredericton in about a week and a half (!!).
So yea, that's pretty much it. As far as what's new with me: not much. I got sick on Monday and was a sweaty, shivery, snotty mess for a good four days. No matter how much I love my independence, when I'm sick I want my mommy! It was tough (a truly aweful cold), but my kitty kept me company (and warm) and I resisted the urge to reach into my nostrils and rip out my sinuses. Feeling much better now, just in time for a party at Lee and Kelly's place for their roommate Anna (whom they don't particularily care for, but are up for any excuse to get shitfaced).
Next week is going to be hanus, with a midterm, essay and oral presentation only two days apart, and none of which I've paid any particular attention to as of yet. But after that it's Reading Week and I'm off to the east coast to give my liver another marathon work-out with my buddy-o for her birthday. :D Muchos excited for that one!!
Alrighty, that's it for me. Take care all, I'm outie.
