nekosenseiI got back yesterday evening after spending four days in Cleveland. I've *finally* caught up with my friends list. It took me several hours and it looks like some more drama happened with Six Apart while I was gone. I don't feel like getting into it too much here, but I get the impression that both the fandom and Six Apart are being stupid. The fans are blowing things out of propotion and Six Apart should have given those people who were deleted written warning that their content was in violation of the Terms of Service like they said they were going to do back in May. Whatever.
Early Friday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
doomsey, emygination, judygs, and bmtstandard drove to Cleveland. We also took jharter41's two kids, Rayna and Noah. The trip there was spent knitting, reading, and reading the new Harry Potter book aloud to Rayna.
On Saturday,bmtstandard and emygination took the kids to see Ratatouille and afterwards went to the pool. doomsey, judygs and I went to Latrobe, Pennslyvania to see doomsey's great aunt, who has been sick for quite a while. According to what she said, her cancer seems to have stopped growing, but she is having problems with her back and her hips. It sounded like she was having a good day on Saturday, but we left after about an hour and a half because she was starting to look tired and sore.
On Sunday, we went to visit another ofdoomsey's aunts in Wooster, Ohio. She served a wonderful dinner. We also got to meet their new Corgi, Dewey. Corgis are so cute!
When we got back todoomsey's grandmother's place, Rayna watched a show on emygination's computer. I'm mentioning it because I wanted to make fun of one of the quotes I heard while I was knitting and listening to the adults. "Saved by fashion!" Yeah...that's what we're teaching our kids...that fashion is more important than...oh say...education. The fake science of kids' programs is also funny. At one point, the characters said that they were using "The World Wide Web" in order to save themselves. emygination was looking at the screen and said that "The World Wide Web" was a big glowing ball. Yeah...uh huh. They don't write any intelligent tv shows for kids anymore, do they?
After everybody left for the hotel (doomsey and I were staying with his grandmother), I decided to measure the size of the blanket I was working on by putting it on one of the twin beds in the guest bedroom. I managed to give myself a nice bruise on my good knee when I ran into the wooden footboard on the bed, which stuck out quite a bit. Man...those things are dangerous! Anyhow, it hurt for the rest of the evening. And of course, I really needed to have both knees hurting like I needed a hole in my head. Needless to say, I spent Sunday evening walking like a cripple.
On Monday, we all headed back home. It was nice to sleep in my own bed and pet the kitty cats again.cosettemonster was very stressed out about having to spend the weekend at judygs and bmtstandard's house. When I went to pick her up and put her in the cage, she peed on me. Poor kitty. She was given more food and lots of snuggles when we got home. Also, doomsey was being paranoid that the house "wasn't going to be there" when we got back. This is the first time since we've moved that we've both been out of town for several days.
