Spring is nearly done

[nishatalitha]

My parents, brother and sister-in-law are visiting this weekend. As such, some things need doing before I go to meet people at the airport on Saturday morning:

• Ironing
  
• Homework
  
• Clean bathroom
  
• Vaccum
  
• Create Guest account on Annabelle
  
• Tidy room
  
• Call Te Papa and check the maximum size of bags they'll store in the bag-check room
  
• check bus timetables for getting to the airport by 9.30am
  
• Wash double sheets used last weekend on the foldout couch
  
• Put money on my cellphone
  
• My laundry - mostly done

I'm sure there's more, as that seems an awfully short list. The plan is to meet my brother and his wife and go from the airport to the Monet exhibition at Te Papa, buy a roast chicken from the nearby supermarket and head home for lunch. Stuff will happen.

List is courtesy of the handy-dandy link maudlinrose posted recently. I thought I'd experiment.

While doing the ironing tonight (this is a habit I gained when living with my parents doing the ironing while watching Star Trek during high school), I watched the anime for FAKE which is an adaptation of a manga series I own about two cops in New York and their romance. It was the most accurate adapation I've seen - there were about four noticeable changes from the plot of Volume 2. It was as though the manga was their storyboard and they stuck to it!

I suddenly have the urge to reread the series...
