So, after cleaning the entire apartment basically (again pretty much by myself), my parents showed up a little after 12:30. They actually got lost in downtown Binghamton, so I had to direct them as best I could to my apartment.
When they got here, I ran out to greet them because I'm a dork and I missed them. Though, after initial hellos and stuff, the first thing that was said to me was how skinny I've apparently gotten. I didn't and don't know exactly how I should feel about that. Anyway, I took them back downtown to the Lost Dog Cafe, which was a place I went to with friends that was really good, and both my parents enjoyed it a lot. We had to wait a little bit, since it was somewhat crowded and right around lunchtime, but it was worth it. I want to find some more local restaurants to go to so I can take more people to them and everything.
We drove back to my apartment after hitting up a store to do some quick shopping for me. Of course, my roommate decided that, today of all days, he was going to host his roleplaying game. You know, after I told him my parents were coming and everything. (Plus, he locked both locks and I have no idea why.) I don't know. I thought it was just inconsiderate. (In addition, he's still playing his music kind of loudly and it's almost one in the morning. I would not mind if only I was here, but my parents are still around and my mom's probably trying to sleep. I figure if it continues throughout and after this movie I'm watching, I'll say something. I usually blast my music too, but a) my music is actually good, and b) I usually turn it down considerably after midnight or so. Plus, if he had his parents over, I would not be blasting music while they were trying to sleep. God. Fuck him.)
I decided to take them to my office, where we stayed for a little bit just chatting. After, we waited a little before going to the movies, where they realized that I was not exaggerating when I said all the wonderful things I've been saying about my movie theatre. According to them, the recliners in there are even comfier than the couches we have at home. We saw Argo, which was actually excellent, and I recommend it entirely. When that finished, we went out to dinner - where I had steak and it was even better than normal because I haven't had steak in a while - and then we came back!
Was able to talk to my younger sister for a few minutes on the phone, which was nice, since I haven't talked with her in a while. After, just hung out for a little. My mom went to bed, and my dad and I came out to watch something on Netflix. Though...he's kind of asleep on the couch and I'm watching. I'm not that sleepy at the moment, but I might be at the end of this.
Tomorrow they're leaving early, so I don't think I'll be able to take them to the cider mill, but that's okay. Maybe next year! (And maybe I'll just bring a gallon of cider home with me or something so they could at least taste it!) On my agenda tomorrow is finishing up the world readings, writing a lesson plan for this week and catching up in the intro comparative book, and writing a reaction paper to one of the world readings. If I get all that done with time to spare (doubtful), then I will move on to the comparative readings, since I need to write a reaction paper to those this week also.
Still hoping Carl and Brendan will accompany me to World/Inferno! I'll ask them on Monday, so I can know if I should buy a ticket or not!
