feldmanMy parents are awesome, and have been really there for my family while we deleverage and reinvent. Pretty much anyone who meets my folks adores them, including me.
That said, a person gets used to controlling her own environment after a few decades of householding, and it can be a big adjustment to go from a sparse diet of sci-fi and caper shows (Dr. Who, Leverage, Castle, Dirty Jobs and little else) to the constant chugging of the DVR hard drive as it churns through cooking shows, hokey paranormal schlockumentaries and sociopathic criminology shows featuring murders both real and fake. Also, their hearing has taken a hit since I moved out.
School nights are a relief if only for the quotidian quietude. And the chance to use that phrase.
On the plus side, the kiddo doesn't believe in ghosts and loves cooking shows (they keep the bloodier stuff for after she goes to bed, so they're only horrifying me and I should be studying anyway, I guess, which is why I bought earplugs).
Corpses and Cooking. Which is like a mocking commentary on my course load of Physiology and Chemistry. When I get to the east coast it's going to take a week of alternating between Arrested Development and a black float tank to deprogram me.
