Mmm, yummy concrete... gravel is NOT an anti-nausea medication!
The TV movie today was WE ARE MARSHALL, aka the football film that the Daniel Fellowship watched a while ago. Ended up not watching it because of a lot of eating / show commitments... eating is a lifestyle for us here on the cruise ship, because we're starting to notice a trend in our meals: let's order more than one appetizer / entree / dessert, since we have a sharing system and also take pictures of everyone else's food! Might as well do this while you can, haha. The seas were very rough today, resulting in barf bags being placed outside the dining rooms - I took one as a quirky souvenir, and was reminded of the site with the barf bag collection! Steph had to take some of Auntie Susan's Gravol, but I was okay as far as nausea went. Let's just say the sea condition helped none of us in playing games (Mom got a little TOO into "moose droppings") OR walking around the ship - yay for railings!
We read the trip journal thus far, and thought that my mom's rendering "dam shirts" as "damp shirts" was a little TOO inappropriate. ("hopefully, we'll get enough dam dollars to get a damp shirt at the end of the cruise!") Then we noted my dad's spelling my own name wrong (...), his perplexing description of the dinner entrees as being "too small to pursuit," and "Steph had to take some gravel for her stomach!" Close, but no cigar! Of course, I corrected it. At lunch, we decided to sit in the formal dining room - Steph showed us pictures of her and Isabel getting blown back by the wind on a BC Ferry ("one that DIDN'T go down!"), and we all agreed that being silly with friends was great! Vivian and Karen found some expired shampoo in their room: when the cruise started a few weeks ago, it wasn't expired, but it was now! The front desk was very prompt in their response, sending someone to knock on the door with new product almost before Karen finished her conversation with them!
Steph and I took a nap in the morning (dreams of shiny green maps / Lesley / Jeremy) AND in the afternoon. Luckily, our stomachs woke us up with ten minutes to spare before they locked the dining room doors at 6:15 PM! We talked about panties, sights which Eric would like to see, tomorrow's plans for Astoria, the library, calories burnt through exercise, and future family trips. There was lemon meringue today, so a few of us had to order it for a dessert! Speaking of dessert, my mom read "low fat frozen cookies and cream yogurt" as if it was two separate items, and wanted to order the "low fat frozen cookies" for Dad. Nobody else had any idea what she was talking about at first, of course! Another day, another trip to the liquor store: the guy gave Karen some Kahlua on her ice cream cone, heh.
Tonight's entertainment was a ventriloquist - some of his jokes were kinda crude, but everyone enjoyed it except Mom! ("Let's get naked!" "Willy, have some manners!" "Please?" "Excuse me?!" ... "I'm Nadia Coma, the oldest gymnast in the world at 91... can you do the other one (chest area) because it feels good?" "NO!") He picked on an old lady named Judy married to a guy named Etienne (Itzy for short), and then picked three people to go on stage later: one was this 19-year-old guy from White Rock, and one was a 69-year-old guy from RICHMOND! The retired guy looked very good for his age - we thought he was 50! When we got back to our rooms, we had a towel monkey waiting for us - just as cute as the towel elephant of yesterday, haha.
We discussed the Da Vinci Code, supercilious France, Happy Feet, some CNN Anderson Cooper special on faith / hard science, hygiene, cruise ship TV, the disembarkation talk, Melia, Angus, flirting, Mike, Emily, cuteness, Chrystal, birthday cards, and a bunch of other subjects. Steph said I could go to the library again and borrow a book, but I'm halfway done with The Rising. Maybe I'll finish it tomorrow... My sister also thought that Karen had thanked us for waiting after she used the washroom post-dinner, but that was DAD! I'm not the only one who's losing it, yay! The cruise ship director's delightful name is Savannah Rye who has a nice English (?) accent, too! We think the accent is a requirement, haha. The stewards here are mainly Indonesian and Filipino - one of the breakfast servers looks like an Alan-Randal hybrid, haha. Everyone has twelve months on and three months off, and eat before our meals in their own area too.
