On Monday I woke up early with Dustin so that I could go to work with him. His bosses were headed to Bloomington so he had the office to himself. After stopping at Live Wire for a vanilla latte and an apple cinnamon scone, I headed to his office. Dustin had some accounting to do, so I caught up on my blog, made important phone calls for the wedding and emailed friends and family. When I am home all day by myself, besides laundry, I don't seem to get very much done. Usually I get caught up in Buffy, walking or laying out and don't really do anything for the wedding that is in 18 days!!!! However, at Dustin's work, I actually made it a point to make my phone calls to confirm information with the park and photographer.
Later I read a pretty good chunk of Maximum Ride- The Angel Experiment by James Patterson. I love his When the Wind Blows series and this one is good too. It is a teen book, which I like because it has more humor. What I don't understand is why Patterson would put out a book that had the same character's name and many of the same problems as another of his books and yet say they are completely different characters. In this case, Max is the main character who is a genetically enhanced by scientists to be part bird. She is friends/family with other kids that are the same way. In When the Wind Blows, Max is a girls who has also been mixed with a bird by evil scientists and has a flock of friends with her. Both books have a set of twins as part of the flock and another male human/bird that is a crush for Max. And always they are trying to escape the evil scientists. I just don't get why Patterson doesn't say they are the same Max. Instead he writes a side note to the reader saying that yes the idea did come from those books, but most of the similarities end with her name, Max. Well, I'm about half way through and I can't help comparing the two and intertwining them in my head to be the same. Hopefully as I keep reading I be able to distinguish the two.
Back to my Monday...
Dustin and I then hooked up the projector to watch X-Men and played around on the internet the rest of the day. We came home to our Quinny and found bride and groom shirts that my brother had made for us. It was very sweet. The rest of the evening we decided to start season one of Angel. It was pretty good. It doesn't compare to Buffy, but definitely has potential. We waited around for the Adelphia guy to come because our internet has not been consistent and ended up falling asleep to a Family Guy.
