May. 14th, 2012 07:57 amYesterday, someone named Justin and his wife Sue came to visit, they also brought their dog Dana, but didn't let her out. I even suggested they keep her inside the car, so that our cat doesn't have a fit.
Even though I never remembered meeting him before, he told me that he visited us for my high school graduation back in 2004 (one year before I started this blog). When he asked us about our cat, I told them that we actually had a different one then, named Sabrina. (Should also note that that was about eight months before our own dog Lucy died.)
So anyway, they asked me if Mom and Dad were home, and I told him that Grandpa was the only one home with me at the moment. I led them into my room where he was watching TV, and they had a nice chat. He told Grandpa that he got married about a year ago, and Grandpa also told me that he was good friends with Uncle Robby through high school.

Good news: Won a kiriban of XBloodySakuraAliceX at 2,999 pageviews. No points won, but she did offer me a pic of two characters. I requested a Beehive Brigade pic, and let her choose two of the girls in that group.
Also won a raffle by NarikoX for 35 points.

Bad news: It seem like my laptop needs a new battery. Since just last night, Mom was using it, and the screen image flickered back off each time she tried to turn it on again. Doesn't help that it just so happens to be the week that we're due to leave home, although it does help that it's only gonna be for a few days.
In any case, the only things I was really planning to do with it was to continue with this blog, update the Parasitic Trio outline, and have a new wallpaper for my family to discover*. The first should be no big deal, I should be able to keep tabs with the second on paper for when I come back home, and Brian and Marie are supposed to come home with us for a bit when we leave Boston.
(*Mentioned, because I already asked Chelle for a photoshop of some Lucky Star fanart by the 17th. Brian did seem to like the wallpaper I've currently got when I showed him the Parasitic Trio outline in Virginia last September, and I also remember Dad playfully saying "Get a different screensaver!" on New Year's when he asked to use the laptop. Either way, only Mom uses the laptop very often. Dad normally uses our main PC, and Brian and Marie each have their own machine.)
If the Mac gets fixed in time for us to leave (and if Chelle also completes the picmod I requested by then), that would be great. If not, though, then that would be one less thing I need to pack up. Should also mention that my regular flash drive had somehow gone missing recently. Good thing I backed everything up onto our external hard drive, and also that I have a spare flash drive.
*UPDATE: Mom just suggested that we wait until Brian's home with us before we take care of the laptop, so that he can speak to whoever specializes in repairs. We're gonna be pretty busy each day that we're upstate anyway, so there's not gonna be a whole lot of time to use it. Not like we're spending a whole week away from home like last year.
Also a good thing that I've decided to end my dA group event early. Tomorrow is gonna cover #'s 6-10 of the Bikini series, and Wednesday, I announce the winner of the entire event (which is already a foregone conclusion at this point). Definitely gonna mention the situation then if I remember.
