"Waaaalllll-eeee" is really fun to say like a robot

I'm gonna punch that bitch Babs in the face next time I see her. Then I'm going to pull all of her hair out. I'll do it carefully, though, so I can donate it to Locks of Love after I've cut out the bloody bits, though.

She hunted my brother down, even though I gave her only the vaguest hints as to his location and called him mere hours after swearing that she would not contact him.

Hmm, I might give her a nice kick to the crotch while I'm at it.

I went and saw my brother this weekend. It was really nice. We ate sushi (well, he did. I got vegetable tempura, which makes me laugh absolutely every time I eat it. Fried vegetables? Awesome.), then we went to "Wall-E" (I loved it almost in spite of myself), we bummed around Barnes and Noble and then I had to return him to that horrible place he has to live.

It's in a tricky little neighborhood and I got majorly lost getting there. He gave me very detailed directions back to the Interstate when I left him and I found it easily. I was cruising along and then my phone rings. It's Quint, I brace for some sort of crisis of the "I left my wallet in your car" sort, but he was just calling to see if I got to the Interstate okay.

That seems very banal and ordinary, but coupled with the sadness I felt at having to leave him at that place, it made me tear up. He's actually changing, it seems. That was probably the first time in at least 6 years he's done anything considerate of someone else.

He's getting to be my brother again just as I'm moving 8 hours away. Excellent timing as always.
