My second day at the book fair went off without a hitch. And my sister -- despite the fact that she was extremely tired and a little sick -- came, too.

We went to see our cousin give a reading of her book to a packed tent of kids, then attended a session with Roy Blount Jr. and Carl Hiaasen. After that, it was up and down the street fair, in and out of booths. My sister spent a pretty penny (and blamed me, of course) but had to admit that she had a great time.

We topped off the day with dinner at Moon Thai and a screening of Part 1 of "Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog." I didn't laugh once, but maybe that's because my expectations were so high. (According to my sister, the combination of Joss Whedon + Neil Patrick Harris + Nathan Fillion + songs = comedy gold.) I probably will need to see the other two parts to make a final decision.

And, my parents arrived home from their cruise -- early, no less -- and I just got off the phone with my mom, who's one of those people who says goodbye and keeps talking. (In fact, before I could even publish this post, she called me again.)

Anyway, that's about it for today. I've got to catch up on some laundry before I go to bed and get psyched up for another workweek.
