(no subject)
I got a GBA SP and I love it. I'm still amazed that they fit a Super Nintendo into that little thing... even though I shouldn't really be - I mean I'm completely aware that technology's been shrinking and that my palm pilot has a faster CPU than the huge desktop I had as a kid... but it's still awesome.
Tomorrow I'm off to Boston for the weekend - my Uncles Bob and Joe got married the first day that the state of Massachusetts allowed them to, so there was no time for a planned wedding. The reception's happening Sunday, which should hopefully be pretty cool. The only thing that worries me is that there's one of those compulsory seating arrangements - intentional separation of all people that know each other. I hate when people force me to socialize with a bunch of people who are most likely a lot older than I am, and who I may or may not have anything in common with. I can understand wanting your guests to mix with one another, but still... it's so fucking forced.
So my cousin Caroline, who's a lot older than me, decided to take advantage of most of our family being in the Massachusetts area in order to throw herself a big family 40th birthday party. That's happening tomorrow. I'm hoping the car ride to Boston will be okay, in part thanx to my GBA SP - hopefully we won't spend the entire 4 hours or so listening to my sister moan about how she made the wrong decision about her job in California. I understand that it's really hard for her to be so far away... and that her job is really challenging - it's not that I'm unsympathetic to her... it's just that I feel like she would be just as unhappy with any job in any place... and yet she fails to acknowledge that and deal with what's really bothering her (for the reccord, I don't claim to know what that is... just that there's something...)
I'm not really sleepy yet but I have to get up at 9:30 or so :-( Needless to say, I won't be online this weekend.
