Aug. 23rd, 2015 06:31 amBrian and Marie came home late two nights ago. The two of them went with Mom and Dad to the gym all together, but I stayed home to get some stuff in order that I wanted to show Brian.
Mom made us all some French toast when they all got home, and the others watched several episodes of Malcolm in the Middle (part of one during which I joined them, before heading outside after it ended).
Brian went back to bed once they were all done watching, but later got up to watch this music documentary with Dad, called The Wrecking Crew. I watched the beginning and end with them, and Marie also joined them for part of it.
After it ended, I got around to showing Brian one of the aforementioned items I had pulled up, a document describing the game mechanics for Day of the Beehive, and one paragraph in particular about party dynamics:

We all went to the beach later on, and this time, my leg didn't cramp up at all (something that's been happening on-and-off so far). Upon leaving the car, I asked Brian if he had read anything of Starbound since last time it was brought up, and (not surprisingly) he wasn't able to due to the number of hours he works each day. He still does remember what he already read enough to understand the context of the scenes mentioned, and we had some discussion about the process of writing and how one just gets better the more they write. He thinks much more favorably of my writing style than Jake, Chelle, or Grandma Barbara, but while those first two are just more experienced themselves, Brian did say that Grandma probably just didn't care for the subject matter when I asked for her opinion on it (after having described it to her during an earlier conversation).
Had a swim, came home, showered off, and then got dressed to go to Bobbique (for which I still had a gift card since Christmas).
And finally, upon coming home, I hung around outside while the others watched an episode of this show called Alpha House (which I saw Mom and Dad watch recently), and then we had a brownie cake with cream cheese frosting and chocolate sprinkles for Marie's birthday. (I had baked the cake part in the morning, while Brian was asleep, and Mom applied the frosting and sprinkles after it cooled off.)
