The first few days I spend at my parents' house after being away for a while always feels like paradise. There's a big TV and Family Guy on dvd! There's my piano! There's a shower with pipes that aren't likely to spurt cold water on me halfway through 40% of my showers! Most of all, there's so much food. Ice cream bars, good bread, coffee and half & half, hot dogs and fruit and many kinds of cereal. So much food and I didn't have to buy any of it and I don't have to worry about any of it running out! In a couple days I will start getting annoyed by how much cat hair there is everywhere and how my parents are uptight about when the windows must be open or closed and how the amount of food means that things go bad and no one notices for a while and it gets gross, but right now it just feels good to be sprawled on the couch with my laptop on my lap and summer music playing on my dad's speakers (which are better than mine).

I lasted for a day and a half here before I gave in to the heat and bought some cheap booty shorts. I only brought two pairs of jeans with me, and jesus, it is too damn hot for pants. Fuck modesty, this is a desert. Besides, my ass looks much better in these than I had expected. I also found a small, pretty and functional purse of the kind that I've been looking for for a month now, for nine bucks. And a couple days ago I got my hair trimmed and the roots re-dyed, and I look so fly. Yay consumerism! I'm so in love with my hair you guys, it's a little ridiculous.

My brother and his girlfriend are unbelievably cute and awesome together, and his gf still has an enthusiastic thumbs up from me. She thinks my hair and tattoo are awesome, she thinks Maja is hot, she sings hip-hop songs in the kitchen. I'm sort of amazed at what a great couple she and my brother make. If he ever breaks up with her (I hope not) I think I'll defect and be her sister instead.

My dad is giving me guitar lessons (again; he tried to teach me at several points throughout my childhood, and as he was showing me blues chords I was like, man, I'm pretty sure you've taught me this same exact thing at least four times now), and last night he helped me figure out the riff to Nelly's Ride Wit Me. It's good to be back so far.
