weekend complete

and on the seventh day - and a fair amount of the sixth - i rested. sailor came over for gd's vegan sushi dinner last night, we had a good time and even spun gd having a particularly emotional moment into a positive (her spine injuries are far from trivial, she's still not used to feeling allowed to have emotions about it).

this morning mr smear and i got up together (erm - he got my up) and we worked together to solve a puzzle in dragon quest builders 2 that's been bothering him for a while. i then managed to convince him to walk with my to meet up with nystire and his family - i'm still feeling pleased and proud that i managed to manipulate him into coming out with a good attitude - and just as pleased that gd was able to meet us there.

nystire and i took longer than planned for our coffee mission and returned to a goodbye with some tensions, but overall it was a really nice way to spend the morning and the walk home was really cool as well. it was a beautiful day.

we spent the second half of it doing whatever, mr smear continuing his game ("it's WAY better than minecraft), me finally convincing cdk to publish a static website with both a domain and subdomain, watching the first half of back to the future while eating leftovers and oatmeal, reading to mr smear and both of us laughing hysterically (we're almost finished charlie and the chocolate factory, the book has some hilarious moments), and chatting with horseman.

...

that was the positive stuff.

gd and i then settled down to start watching j'accuse!, the documentary about the lithuanian holocaust. it's beyond horrifying. especially if you're of lithuanian descent (which i am).

the world needs to know that this happened to us, and the world needs to understand that the lithuanian government is *continuing* to cover this up.
