dmxratedFinally managed to show episodes 9 and 10 of Kanon to Marie and Drew yesterday, 9 midday and 10 in the afternoon.
Following 9, I did a bit of troubleshooting with Brian regarding the direction Kagami is supposed to face upon exiting a door. This consisted mostly of me following along as he looked stuff up and explained stuff to me, but in the end, we concluded that it should probably wait until we get around to programming the game to fade out and in each time you enter a door, so that our fingers are not still on the keys when she respawns.
-----
To start with, Brian had already explained to me why this visit, along with his previous one, would not be very conducive for him and Emily to watching anime with us, and in fact mentioned expecting mostly to tune in at random.
After already seeing just a little bit of episode 9, just enough to pick up on Makoto's deteriorating condition, he came in halfway through 10 and watched the whole rest of that with us, confirming that he doesn't mind spoilers so much as Marie and Drew (neither do I myself, and I do remember Emily asking about the show's future last year in California.
Mom also came in to discuss a few things with him, but left before the episode ended.
Deciding like with Aunt Marie last time to leave off there, I went on to put on a total of three episodes of Nyanko Days. Emily joined us right as episode 2 started, and personally, I wouldn't worry too much about showing her 1, which is mostly character introductions. She and Brian did really seem to like it, though.
-----
At some point, our parents and Aunt Marie were out visiting some museum, and Brian and Emily went out to meet a few friends of theirs. Marie and Drew decided to visit town and treat me to Ralph's Italian Ices.
We spotted Brian chatting with his friends right before reaching Ralph's on foot. Marie and Drew didn't actually want anything themselves, and Drew stepped outside while Marie remained in to pay for my order.
Since we already have Cold Stone and two Häagen-Dazs locations, which I haven't seen to sell Italian ices, much closer to home, I decided to order something called a water ice, Blue Hawaii flavored. It wasn't bad, but I did wish I had taken my time to order a sundae or milkshake instead. Still, Mom and I do sometimes buy Italian ices at Meat Farms, but those are much harder, so it was good at least to have tried something new there.
The three of us went over to meet with Brian and Emily, who were talking with someone named Dave and his wife Kim. Dave told me he remembers me from high school, but I couldn't really remember him, and eventually took a chance I got to ask where exactly he remembers me from. One thing he specified was at our house, probably for Brian's birthday party or something.
Driving back to the house, Marie and Drew asked about the flavor Blue Hawaii and where that comes from, and I mentioned that that also comes up in episode 5 of Lucky Star, which Drew then said he doesn't like that much. (That can be what we watch from now on whenever Marie comes alone to visit.)

For Father's Day, Mom presented me, Brian, and Marie with this shirt that I went on to take a picture of:
(Dad's drink is a cocktail that Mom makes for him every night, known as an Old Fashioned. As for Brian, that is indeed a beer, but the person Mom commissioned wasn't able to make the drink darker into a stout specifically. And I've got a Sprite, what I normally order whenever we dine out as a family, because I do not like alcohol that much; we've also had this gallon of Sprite in the kitchen, which is what I've usually been taking to have with dinner here.)
-----
Marie and Drew later showed me an episode of this HBO show called Girls, filmed in this very house we've been staying at, that they expressed wanting to show everyone else. I then put on that one scene of Lucky Star, followed by three more episodes of Nyanko Days, and then Drew was the one to ask about some show that Mom told them she particularly enjoyed. He couldn't remember what she said about the show itself, but did remember her talking about it back during the holidays, and while my guess for Made In Abyss was in fact correct, we decided to let her confirm that.
After I brought it up back downstairs, Mom also mentioned that we would need to see more than the first few episodes to experience it for what it really is, and she and I agreed then to debate this morning if we should bother starting to watch it now with only two days left here, or if we're probably gonna have too much going on to invest enough in it.
