Spent the day with my parents, mostly with my father actually since [livejournal.com profile] tpau was quilting with my mother. I keep thinking that my wife really shouldn't get along that well with my mother. So much for cultural expectations. I like spending time with my parents, but it always feels really weird, like I'm fourteen or so again. Ugh. Not a period of time I need to repeat. I had been planning to go see the free They Might Be Giants show at Brandeis, but decided against it since I hadn't seen my parents in a long time and it looked nasty and wet out. So of course we had the nicest day in weeks. And I am still it seems the only person who hasn't seen a TMBG concert, even though I am a bigger fan of them than anyone else I know. Blah. Maybe I can catch them this summer.

Hmm. Yeah, I was thinking of going to the concert today, and didn't. I too have not seen them in concert, and I too, am a big fan. Oh well. Some other time. *grin*

You both missed out. It rocked. Even the opening bands. Hell, especially the first opening band.

14, huh? Lucky bastard. My folks have the power to transform me into a 3 year old again.

if it makes you feel better, i mostly think your mother is an awful person, but she has useful skills. it is very mercenary of me. but as she is the MIL i don't care tooo much.

Waaah! We hadn't heard about the concert. Would happily have gone instead of doing taxes.

Yeah, it occured to me later that it would have been nicer to bemoan not going before the concert had happened. Oh, well.

oh the guilt. I'm only a casual TMBG fan and I _did_ see them in concert... my freshman year they did an awesome concert at the hatch shell.

I don't have a "real" MIL, but I've frequently had dinner/gone to temple with [livejournal.com profile] kromagg's mom when he wasn't even there. And had a lovely time. Pretty wacky. Maybe if we ever get married I'll have to cut all ties and whine about her or something? :-) ...
