Not really all that much to talk about. I'm liking the fact that I'm home, yet I miss Rachel. I know that I've only been home five days, but yeah.
Open mic Night was all right on Wednesday, so not all that much to speak of on that. A rather funny thing happened though. I was sitting there, and Nate walked up to me. He was like, "Gina, who's your favorite guitar player that comes in and plays at Eldo’s?" A pretty good musician had played right before him, so I was honest. I said, "Well, the guy that played just now was pretty good. Nate jokingly said, "Well, you're not my friend any more." Both Nate and Nick are my favorites, but both of them are different. I didn't know if Nate wanted an ego boost, or if he was just being silly, but I was being honest. if someone sucks, or isn't all that good, I’ll tell them. It's how I am. I might not flat out say, "Hey, you suck," but I'll say, "oh, well, it was ok," or something. Though it does depend on who I’m talking to. I'd expect someone would do the same for me. I don't know though, because people say that I can sing, yet I don't think I'm all that good. I've never been trained or anything, and when I hear my own singing I think that I sound like a little girl.
that Matt guy from a few weeks ago was there, and we talked a bit. We were talking about movies he's made, and I got rather confused, because he got a bit technical. I can't quite figure out if I like him or not. Sure, he's an all right guy, but I can't find common ground with him, so why be friends with someone I don't know what to talk about them with? He did stay to hear Nick and I sing however, and right before he left he gave me a sort of hug. I thought, "Oh, no, strange guy touching me, I'm not sure I like this." It ended up being all right though. Nick told me that us singing "Africa" was our best ever, and I was thrilled to hear that. I thought that all of our songs were pretty good however. Maybe one day I'll let the world hear them, but as of now, a select few people get to hear my treasures. If people ask though I’ll most likely send.
I'm currently reading "Divine Misdemeanors" which is merry Gentry book 8, by Laurell K Hamilton. I do believe that this might be my favorite book in this series. I've always liked Merry a lot more than Anita Blake, because Merry's not as much of a bitch. That, and I started this series from the very beginning in 2000, when "A Kiss of Shadows" came out. I'd accidently fallen asleep to it last night, and when I'd woken up, I learned a couple things about Doyle and Frost, my two favorite guards to Merry. I'm pretty curious to see how the events will lead up to what I'd read. Since she's in L.A. now. I hope that some of the detectives from book 1 are in the book. Too bad LKH wouldn't even bring Roane back even though he went back to the sea in book 1. He was still a sweetheart. I'd also like to see more of Barinthus, since he was Merry's dad's closest friend.
As far as Dad's recovery, he's doing pretty well, which surprises me. He's gone out to Zuey's a couple times, and has drank water. I do believe that this whole heart surgery may have done good for Dad as far as not drinking. I will be rather disappointed in him if he decides to start drinking and smoking. He did say that he hasn't felt the urge to drink or smoke since he's been in the hospital, I just hope that continues. He's doing well as far as taking his pills/blood sugar and all that. It seems to me like nothing's really wrong with him, except for the fact that I have to help him with laundry and such, but that's no big deal, I don't mind doing that at all. I'm just not looking forward to when the trash can gets terribly full, and I have to take that out. Hopefully it's not too heavy for me, but if so, I'll manage. I've dealt with worse.
I'm going to go back to my book now. I've taken too many breaks today as far as reading. I'm sure I'll update as soon as I finish the book. Yay for merry Gentry!

current mood: optimistic
