Back in the I.C.

Oh my God, I knew this would happen if I got cable...today during dinner I found myself watching a program on the top ten dramatic moments on The Hills (which I'd never seen before). It was oddly mesmerizing, even as I could feel my brain cells shriveling up like raisins. Having previously only been familiar with the folks on the show from gossip sites, I have to admit that Heidi is much prettier in motion than in still shots. In fact, everyone on that show is really ridiculously pretty (yes, jokersama, even Spencer in an odd way, much as it pains me to admit it).

Anyway, I'm back in the I.C. now...after my parents had their third round of car trouble in a week, they drove me up a little later than expected, so we ended up getting in at like 1 a.m. on Friday. We spent Friday taking me out to get some necessities (groceries, moar bookcases) and visited Kalona briefly, and went back to Kalona this morning. And seriously, those Amish make the best food ever, and if I lived in easier range of Kalona's food I would be spherical.

My parents finally headed home early this afternoon, and I've just been reaccustoming myself to my new apartment (which doesn't entirely 100% feel like home yet) and enjoying the solitude. I've also been trying to get a little more unpacking and organizing done, though I haven't yet put together my new bookcases and filled them (that will be a job for tomorrow).

Also my parents let me borrow a new Phil Rickman book (A Crown of Lights) they bought after I turned my mom on to his mysteries, so I'm reading that and am a very happy camper. :D
