already remnants of the recent past are springing up to claim me, although really, wasn’t it all my idea in the first place?

bert picked me up from work and we went to my house to play amnesia (probably the scariest video game on earth) and watch avatar: the last airbender (which i’m loving, by the way).

then elaha came over and we took a little bit of a nap, as per tradition. elaha was lying on me and i was lying on bert and they had small talk while i kind of drifted in and out of sleep. afterwards, we went to meet bert’s older brother alec at the scotia bank theater so we could all watch the avengers.

there were so, so many different screenings and so, so many different, long lines.

we kept hopping into the wrong ones (can my brother please tell his coworkers to be a little less misleading?) and when we finally made it to the right one, i saw an unapologetically rude filipino family cut the line.

i got riled up at this blatant injustice and elaha had to calm me down.

little ball of fur
angry kitty, happy kitty
purr, purr, purr”

the movie itself was great, and all in all, it was a pretty pleasant day.
