houston, we have no problems.
after that very angry post last time.. i crawled into bed next to bryant and just.. felt at peace. i dunno. he just does that to me. it's kinda weird..
mostly been relaxing, like i said before. i think i've read a total of about.. 8-10 books since i've gotten here? now, they're not all thick books like war and peace or harry potter.. but they're books. that's a huge improvement--i haven't read a real book for myself in quite awhile. so i'm quite satisfied :) i want to grab another book but i'm afraid i won't finish it in time and that.. would suck. but. you know. eh.
been playing lots of Wii Fit like i said before.. and i got bored and bryant had left me at home 'cause he was going to see his friend about some business thing, etc, boring.. so i went and made lots of little Mii's :) haha. first me.. then bryant.. and then i went crazy. my parents, his parents, noah and joyce, his brother + wife, his sister.. then i made the fab5 (well.. 4 girls).. then i made the 4 guys. LOL. it's like an army. i was trying to take pictures but the TV refresh rate kept getting in the way. but i shall figure out a way.. maybe.. if i'm not too lazy..
shot a wedding :) well.. bryant was shooting video (first time) and i was assisting him (downloading his cards, holding lights when necessary, etc) plus i got to shoot some stills too. met with tricoast.. aka the people bryant used to intern with. mike, suzie (his korean gf) and cody. apparently there was a third one and suzie (susie?) isn't really part of TRICOAST (company) but.. eh. you know. s'all good. mike was really cool and funny.. cody was funny too but i never really talked to him at all. didn't even get intro'd. and it was so loud and busy i just didn't get around to it, didn't seem too concerned though. wedding was at a super nice looking church (Episcopalian) and had their reception at a really nice country club (the black forest club). all around that area are just.. mansions. HUGE! bryant told me his parents almost got a house out there but decided not to (costs too much). but really, wow. i didn't get any good pictures of the houses since we were driving, but still. it was like.. the montecito mansions of texas! hahah.
went to go see valkyrie.. and.. eh. you know, i didn't think it was all that great really. it could partially be because i was tired and because bryant was falling asleep.. but.. really. i stayed awake and was just sort of disappointed. they had too little of a storyline to work with and they didn't do enough with it--or maybe they did a lot but because there's so little story or time period to work with, it just didn't happen. they needed to add more history into it, i think.. or.. something. an oomph would've been nice.
oh! amazing pancakes? go to CRACKER BARREL. yea, i laughed when i heard the name the first time too. but they really are delicious pancakes :) a little greasy i thought.. at least this time (went this morning.. well.. cough. got there around 11:15 'cause we had to run some errands plus i didn't get up until 10am.. LOL go figure).. i think they were better in arizona or where ever we were.. hahah. but. s'all good. they're still really good. i took some pics but of course with my d300 so i gotta upload those.. then.. yea. etc. so i'll post those later, though you can't taste through pics.. but.. whatever! D:
i dunno what we're doing for now.. but.. i want to go on a walk. and bryant just doesn't like taking walks! i dunno what it is. he's just against it. maybe i'll go by myself. either way.. by 7:45 we're supposed to head over to VIC & ANTHONY'S, a supposedly utterly amazing steak house out here.. got reservations and all. so it must be pretty nice. i can't wait :) today's gonna be filled with amazing food!
then.... tomorrow.. we gotta head to the airport by 5:30am :( our flight leaves around 7ish.. get back to LAX around 9:00am.. ridiculously earrllllyyyyy.. boooo.....
i have to say.. i think i really like houston. i dunno what it is.. either a mix of NOT DOING ANYTHING and his SUPER NICE HOUSE and dad's AWESOME CAR (lexus) and NEW CITY.. eaitng out lots.. his obnoxious but loving dogs.. his cat (!!) that finally is letting me pet him without yawling or hissing or growling or whatever. having laundry machines downstairs. having our own bathroom. like i said, i don't really know what it is.
it's nice really, really nice here. this is really a great winter vaca for me.. even though i didn't get to see you girls at all (except gdawg).. i saw the guys at least :) which was good. i guess it's 'cause i don't have responsibilities. it's a nice change. i still pick up and clean a little but it's nothing like what i have to do at home. i don't have to cook, i don't have to do dishes. dishes don't get piled up into the sink. if i help out here, i get thanked. if i sit down, a dog usually comes running to be pet. if i'm hungry, bryant doesn't reply, "go eat something". i don't have to drive (even though i love driving you fab5 girls). it's all new here. the room doesn't get cluttered, and even if it does, it only takes 2 minutes to clean up because we don't have that many clothes here. i'm not bored here, and even if i am, i find something to do. bryant has all new books here, ones i mostly haven't read. among other things.. i don't feel the need to blog randomly because i have nothing else to do (my first blog of the year is on jan 7! i haven't blogged in a week!).
it's just nice.
and it'll be nice to get back home too.. but.. still. different kind of nice.
i dunno. it's weird.
