All the stuff

Yesterday was pretty swell.

Yesterday I slept until 2 PM. WHOOPS

After that I woke up and immediately ate tater tots with mustard on them and joined my mom in watching the BBC's version of Pride and Prejudice. I doodled all the while and forgot to actually watch, as is my usual. (I often follow movies by ear rather than sight, especially if I've seen them before. That's one reason going to the theater is so cool--the movie is everything, all your attention.)
Eventually, Dad got home and said it was okay if we kept watching. (We had offered him relief from the period drama-ness.)
We broke for dinner and returned, and by the end, Dad was making comments like "that woman's voice is annoying" (the mother) and to my mother "I didn't wear a hat like that when we got married!"
He said he didn't understand how we liked it so much. I said it was a classic (because honestly romance isn't my thing... I like it out of familiarity I guess?). Mom tried to compare it to his science fiction "classics." He expressed his perplexion at the fact that there are three versions of it that we've watched within two months. There aren't a million interpretations of Star Wars.
"But what about all those fanfiction spin-offs?" Mom asked.
"Those are different stories!" My dad replied.
"There are lots of interpretations of each Shakespeare play." I said, finding a reasonable comparison.
"I don't care for those either." my Dad said.
"Well, good for you." was all the reply I had. When something comes down to a difference in basic opinion and there is no harm in disagreeing, I don't see why I should argue him into changing his mind. The movie was over, anyway.

While the movie was still going on, but paused, I happened to glance at the windows, and they were PINK! This was the sign of something awesome going on so I ran out front in my socks and TAH DAH

 Usually the iPod washes things out and I have to edit them back to how I actually saw them but NOT TODAY! These are untouched originaaaaaaaaaals
Not fantastic photos, but fantastic sky art. Cool beans, God! Seven thumbs up! 8D (I'll borrow some thumbs from other people like Emma.)
The only awkward part about sunsets is that they're right above my neighbor's house, so it's not uncommon to see me just taking pictures of their house (but actually of the sky right above it). At least on a day like this, even if I was observed, it would be clear what beauteous wonder I was shooting.

After dinner I tumblred and TWIGed and facebooked way too many times just WAITING FOR MY BROTHER
who was playing a video game. But once he was done, we had SHAKESPEARE RAP BATTLES.
I would post our better one but it's um.
Ten minutes long.
Hee hee.

After that I tumblred and IMd and TWIGed and stuff some more and then it was 1:30 and I figured I should sleep. But having only been awake for twelve hours, I wasn't tired! It took me longer to go to sleep than it has in years. I kept getting up to check things like that my iPod was definitely going to turn off the music, to turn DOWN the music, to update my calendar, blah blah blah.

This morning I got up at a reasonable eight o clock hour and considered eating pie for breakfast but gave into healthier options called mashed potato and rice and cheese and carrot.

And I'm seeing Les Miserables today!
