How My Easter Went

So, I work on weekend. I work an overnight shift on the weekends in fact. So, when I got off work on Sunday at 8:30, instead of going home to fall into the sweet embrace of slumber, I went to my folks place. Even though we wouldn't be going to my cousin's place until noon, it wouldn't have done me much good to go home, just to not sleep and head over to the rents. Besides, I wanted to get my taxes done (getting money back thanks to the student loan payments, and that's about all). But anyway, we eventually strike out to my cousin's place, getting there without getting lost even! We had to take to vehicles, so this [i]was[/i] actually a concern.

Once there, I got to meet my new little second cousin. Fairly well behaved for being 4 months old. That's sure to change. Saw the new wordworking gear that was in residence. Good stuff. Hung out and shot the shit with my relatives. My sister commented that I had some weird friends, so I naturally began to talk about the absolute oddest. The trany, the guy that get's nakkid when his band is playing, the guy that cuts himself when his band is playing (like, carves his chest up with shards of broken bottle, etc. I so won that one. My sis and I were in fine form for sibling banter, neither of us gaining any sort of significant advantage for any length of time.

Dinner was good. The ham was cooked with Coke (a-cola, I had to ask too. It was good stuff!), and the pig was from one of my other cousins farm. So, it was fresh to say the least (I think butchered that weekend). The salad was ok, not as good as last year. The hash browns were pretty good. No deviled eggs though. Didn't like that, but I'll get over it. Maybe next year I'll actually have to just bring my own or something. The horror...

We left pretty early since one of my sibs needed to get on the road sooner then later to get back to school on time. So, I think I was home by about 5:30 or so. I watched the last of my weekend NetFlix, and I Am Legend (I borrowed that from a sibling). I Am Legend was okay. Big divergence from what I remember of the book. I need to reread the book though. I will say, that when he lost his dog, I almost cried a little. And, also, wow did Will Smith do a good job with that. He did a great job showing how his character was going insane from the lack of human contact. When Sam died, well, you knew that it was pretty much all over. Also, and I don't know if this is an Easter Egg or not, there was a movie poster for what looked like a Batman/Superman movie in the backdrops of New York at one point. Maybe a little hint at a World's Finest movie in the works? Huh?

Anyway, I collapsed to bed about 10:30. Slept like the dead until my alarm went off too. Today has been an off and on struggle to stay awake too. Just miserable. I hope I can keep it together enough to go to SW mini's tonight. It'd be nice. Might just go home and sleep though.
