Simple/mundane entry follows, of the “I did X, then Y, then ate Z,” variety. You’ve been warned.

After running errands today, including grocery shopping, packing & shipping a print order, and checking our P.O. Box, I headed over to my parents for dinner and a movie. Justin and I were just over there yesterday evening to visit and pick up the custom, hand-made light sabers my brother made(!!) for each of us for Christmas; I feel like a big moocher for dropping in on them again this evening. I thought my brother might be there, since he’s currently “between jobs” insofar as training for his new one has not yet begun. But, it was just me and the folks this evening, which is fine but exacerbates my guilt at imposing on them so often.

Justin and I were trading emails throughout the morning, and towards early afternoon I mentioned I’d probably head to my folks for a visit and continued forced-break from the computer. He allowed as how that was a good idea, and that his brain’s so wiped out after work lately he doesn’t have a lot of brainpower to spare (in our vernacular, that equals “I’m probably going to play World of Warcraft or listen to my iPod.”)

When I got home around 9 PM from my folks’, Justin was watching Lost, the TV series that so many people are talking about, but that I’ve not been able to really get into. My television watching basically only extends to watching the Olympics when they’re on, major breaking news events (9/11), or an occasional Discovery Channel or TLC documentary; or Cash in the Attic (BBC) with my parents. Justin’s the same, with “Lost” added to the lineup. Our television would never be turned on if it weren’t for Netflix and our DVD collection!

I baked some blueberry muffins to munch on as we watched an episode of Star Trek: Voyager together after “Lost”. They looked so good, I took a photograph before we ravaged them

Here’s to simple things!
