October 22, 2008 - Wednesday

Sunny but a little cooler.

Today was my day off and I had a quiet day at home for most of it. I got up, grabbed a coffee and watched news this morning. Then I did some computer stuff, which ended up taking a while.

In the afternoon I finished cooking the half of the spaghetti squash that didn't cook well before, then had that for my lunch. It was good. I also watched Medium, which was a repeat, but a really good one. Alison was "taken over" by a woman who had just died and her poor husband was left to deal with the crazy snobby person who now inhabited her body. I thought that Jake Weber did a really good job of being the bewildered husband trying to hold his family together.

When Fumihiko came home we had a hug or two then went to return our/my DVDs. I made him take them back to the store because I knew I couldn't be trusted not to take more out!

We had dinner at the soba restaurant that's on the way home from the DVD place. It wasn't bad. I had a soba/sushi combo. While we were eating dinner, Fumihiko asked me if I wanted to go to karaoke. Well, frankly I did!

We stopped off at a grocery store to get a few munchies, then went to the karaoke box. We got in right away as it wasn't busy. We picked the wrong system because it didn't have all the neat songs I wanted to sing, but it had enough. For the next couple of hours we sang songs and had fun. I did a lot of stuff, finally finding Pilot's January. My throat started to act up a bit halfway through, guess I'm not really over that cold yet. At that point I was able to do songs by raspy voiced singers, so my Rod Stewart and Bonnie Tyler's weren't bad. It was a surprising thing for us to do in the middle of the week, but very enjoyable.

We came home via the grocery store to get milk and a few necessities. Now we're both just kicking back and relaxing at our computers. Today was really a fun day, the evening especially.

Tomorrow I'm back to work. Wish me luck. Until then....
