so yesterday was actually really nice. i headed to long island wednesday night since we had to be at gundam’s sister’s relatively early. matt, killah, ricky, and grant showed up, and we watched some movies and stuff. gundam and i also decided to clean out the iguana’s cage, which meant she couldn’t be in it, so i gave her a bath while gundam cleaned. normally she likes the water - she’ll splash around in the tub if there’s an inch or two in the bottom, or she’ll let the shower drip on her head - but i think the noise from the vacuum had her stressed out, so she climbed out the tub and up my leg and crawled under my sweatshirt, and i just let her sit on my shoulder till gundam was done with the cage. everyone left fairly early because we were tired and we had to get up in the morning, so after that we pretty much just went to bed.

yesterday morning gundam’s brother and his roommate picked us up and we all went over to his sister’s house for dinner, which was really good. she’s a vegetarian too, so she made sure there was plenty of stuff other than turkey for us to eat. we all filled up so much on mashed potatoes and veggie stuffing and sweet potatoes that we didn’t even have room for the pie. it was all mad tasty, and we sat around talking and drinking coffee for a while afterwards.

eventually i got a ride back to the train station and headed home. gundam and i had pondered going to the vnv show tonight, but we decided to skip it. we’ve already seen them twice before, and not that they aren’t fabulous live - we didn’t feel like finding tickets and heading into manhattan and everything. aldiyen is coming from boston today; i’m picking him up at the port authority later on and i want to do the dishes and clean up a little. my place is a bit of a wreck.
