I actually went places with sea breazes!

The day before yesterday was v. cool. Gramie, Uncle Andy, Billy, and I went up to Hampton Beach to see my non-evil Aunt Mary, Uncle Terry, Cousins Emma, Charlie, and Peter, and semi-relitives Nana, her husbend, and Mary Jane.

Semi-relitives are closely realated to your relitves, but not to you. In this particular case, they're Mary's husbend's parents and niece. Or that's what I call them at least.

We all went to the beach, being that it was warm and sunny, and we we about 50 feet away. I did my normal thing of going in the water for a absudrly little amount of time... about 20 mintues... and sit on the beach being really cold. If I had realized a little earlier that the damp t-shirt I was wearing was keeping me cold, I might have gone back in. But I didn't, so I didn't. I had a lovely time anywey.

And I got to see what Mary called "Billy putting the moves on Mary Jane" from a distance, which I count as a good thing. = )

Oh! And I got to talk games with Billy, who want to do the exact same thing as Christine! Wacky, huh?

Moving on to the considerably less amusing time in Boston. I say considerably less, because a great deal of time was spent with the evil Aunt Mary. I say, "evil," because she's a mean old woman who doesn't have time for anybody but herself. The first thing she did when she saw my sister was insult her, and my sister is the only person who really gave Aunt Mary the time of day.

Basicly? I don't like her.

Linda, Mom, and I went into Cambrige, and then from there into Boston, to see my sister's new apartment. And it's really nice, with a big kitchen and a cat that she can spoil but doesn't need to pay the vet bills for. After we saw her apartment, we went to Legal Seafood, which was very good. And I got to gross out my mother by eating things with tentacles. = )

But I finaly got a good night's sleep last night, so it's all good.

Blue is the color of a dead channel

Anyone remember the time that I found a description in two diffrent fanfics that had a insignificant detail as the same thing and the detail was cannon? Or that time when I thought I saw the same setence in two diffrent fanfics in two diffrent fandoms but it turned out to be very similar sentences?

Does anyone remember what I was trying to prove? Because I think I may have found a similar thing in two diffrent published books.

Okay, during the unending road trip, I brought along Neuromancer, by William Gibson. I think one of the first sentences in the book is describes how the sky was the color of a television set to a dead channel.

And the other day, I was reading Neverwhere, By Neil Gaimen. In this book the line is "The sky was the the perfect untroubled blue as a television screen, set to a dead channel."

Wacky, huh? But do to the decade or more gap between the two books, I'm thinking that Gaimen might had read Neuromancer, thus picking up the description. So it probably doesn't count towards what ever I was trying to prove... I think it was a collective creative eather? A global sub-concious? How that life is a huge, poorly cast B-Movie?

The last one really doesn't make too much sense, but have you ever gone down the street and over hear a stranger that sounds just like your cousin? Or real look-alikes? Just proves that the Creator had to cast the same people in diffrent roles.

Okay, so maybe the last is just my parniod fantasy. But maybe the previous two? I wish I could rememember...
