Two More Moments And The Brilliance Fades

Only two more full days here in Cali, I'm leaving for Anaheim on the 1st. I'm going to try and make the best of them. After I signed off AIM yesterday, things got really crazy. As some of y'all know, Angela, one of the Hispanic nannies, failed to pick up Gabriella from her nursery school on time. My aunt and I were currently at the Standford Medical Hospital because she had to attend a meeting there (she's a cardiac anasthesiologist who works at the hospital and also is a proffessor there. Technically she's only sebatacle, but she still has to come in from time to time.) Anyway, she was in the meeting, and I was in her office along with her secretary (another Angela. She's a very nice woman.) when we got a phone call from Gloria who was back at the house. Apparently the school had called the house saying no one had picked up Gabriella, and Gloria was in a panic. The secretary and I were like "Oh shit" because we didn't even know where the nursery was to pick her up, and my aunt was still in the meeting.

It ended up that the secretary had to go and find my aunt and ask her directions. We spent about 30 minutes looking for this nursery all around the Stanford campus until finally someone was kind enough to give us directions. When we got there, we spent twenty minutes trying to find out where she was, only to discover that Angela had come around an hour later than she should have.

Boy, we were pissed.

We stayed at Stanford for a couple more hours, then went to Home Depot to quickly purchase some sinks and faucets because they had to be installed for a house that my aunt owns and is fixing up so she can rent it out. They had the right color for one of the sinks, but not the rest of them. We found faucets though. Then we drove over to the house that's being renovated, gave the plumber (who incidently is quite cute) the sinks and faucets, and then we headed on home.

My aunt was laughing at me the whole way there, because apparently the guy was flirting with me majorly. >.>;

We got home and relaxed for like, two seconds, then prepared to go get my mother and brother from the airport. But the babies wouldn't go to bed and the only one home was my uncle, who couldn't be trusted to keep an eye on both of them, so we brought THEM along too! (And this is at like...9:30 at night).

So we get to the airport, and it's an absolute mess. There are l0 something planes coming in all at the same time (half of them were from Hawaii. o.O) so everything's all clogged up. My aunt sent me out, alone, into a sea of flower necklace and Hawaii print t-shirt wearing crazy people, to find my mother. I couldn't. Turns out that she's still waiting at the gate!

I commend my mother for her lack of common sense.

So we go, park, and my aunt leaves to get my other, stupider family members. I sang songs with the twins, from Fly me away in an aeroplane, to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, to Wheels on the Bus...etc. They returned, we went home, and I practically collapsed into the bed with Gabriella.

Thus ended the crazy day which I never want to have again. I hope Angela gets fired.

.:Commentary:.
Ken: You were the Fairy King? Lol, me too. We also got a chance to pick a Shakesperian scene we wanted to perform, sadly, I was being shy and antisocial, so she just gave me Lady Capulet in another scene when I didn't speak up in favor of Hamlet. Meh.

MC: Yea, it's fun to start talking Shakespeare. ;)

Shinmaru: As it should be! >.>

Mimmi: Spoofs are great. Unfortunatly, I don't think you get the full power of Hamlet in spoofs...;-;

Lea: Good. It's supposed to make you think. That's why it's a famous soliloquy.

Solo: Mmmm...Shakesperian goodness. And yes, I'm going to enjoy meeting Shin, but I have no clue if Shy is attending. Sennen is though. We'll think of you while we're there. ;)

Sennen: Yes. Baseball bats and deoderant I shall bring, for scary cave-dwelling fan boys shall be rampant. o_o;;

Arcadia: Hah hah, lol. Me too. The only Shakesperian play that I've read that I can honestly say I'm not too fond of is A Midsummer Night's dream. And that's only because I thought that Shakespeare should have mixed the couples up a bit...I loved Puck.

Karmi: Wow. Hi. * waves *

.:End Commentary:.

That's all I really have to say here...oh wait. If you're really interested in Hamlet, definitely see the movie done by Kenneth Bragnaugh, it's spectacular. And I don't give that praise lightly.
