My first day at home
I don’t usually write about myself, but today I’ll make an exception for two reasons. One, I haven’t been home in more than a year, so it’s a big event. Two, Kelly is in California right now, soaking up the sun, and I know she’d love to hear about it.
So today I woke up to granola. Usually I skip breakfast or eat something disgusting and sugar–such as poptarts–but today was special, nutritious. That’s a good start to any day. After my shower, my sister pleaded me to watch some borrowed Cowboy Bebop, a classic anime about down-on-their-luck bounty hunters. So we watched two episodes before the grandparents came. Some chitchat, then lunch.
And not just any lunch! Keish!! Vegetables!! Home-baked bread!! I think I’m going to import my mother to Cornell.
After lunch we (my two sisters and mother) played Scrabble: I lost. The older of my two younger sisters beat me by about 20 points, because they wouldn’t allow me to make “juned” a legitimate archaic form of “joined.” Oh well… I will triumph again someday!
Then dinner. Apparently my mother was feeling pressure to be Chinese, because she cooked stirfry chicken with rice and vegetables, although not quite asian-style, like Kelly makes it. Again–the food was awesome.
Then my brother decided he wanted to take us to a computer game arcade. Dad and I played Halo and Half Life 2 with him. It was funny, since my Dad never plays games. He sorta wandered around the first level mostly getting killed. On the second one, we teamed up, and once I got him in the drivers seat of a Jeep, we shot my brother down every time. He was even better in the gunner’s seat!
And now, I’m writing this entry.
