Woo! Friday...let's see...
Jenny, Devon and I got over there a little late today. We didn't bring lunch on account of we've been in trouble for over-feeding Kirk the past couple of days. Tiffany, the day warden, greeted us. Kirk was standing around in the kitchen like he's not supposed to. We got him down to the couch. Not like wrestled him, but asking Kirk to do something he doesn't want to do isn't going to make it happen. Luckily, he gladly complied.
Then we found out that Kirk hadn't eaten lunch yet. I hope he wasn't waiting for us to arrive with it. Suffice to say I'm still bringing food from now on.
He ate leftover Jersey Mike's and his mother's chickpeas and put on MTV. We watched 8 bands in a row that sounded exactly the same. Seriously. "Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?"
We laughed at the emo, loser bands and reminisced about when music used to be good. Yep, we're that old now. Kirk pulled names of bands and songs we had forgotten out of thin air like he always does. Long term memory: check. Kirk dances a little 'pretty dance' on the couch when the beat is good. Or sings/whistles the hook. He's just generally all over music when it's around.
Then we flipped stations quite a bit and watched bits and pieces of movies on HBO. Until finally stopping on, of all things, Forrest Gump. Your Academy Award winner for Best Picture in 1994. Take that Pulp Fiction. AND Shawshank. I will say that it does have comedic timing down and you can't touch Tom Hanks' acting. But seriously...that can't save a string of progressively more unbelievable events no matter how many heart strings it tugs, right?
We discussed how many other movies in '94 were better that weren't even nominated. True Lies, Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura...Mighty Ducks 2. Yeah, I said it.
Nikki arrived again with Messiah. She, Tiffany and Roffelle got to work on another jigsaw puzzle at the kitchen table. Kirk got up as Forrest Gump was ending to sit at the table as well. The Lawrence children comedy compounds when they're together. Singing, laughing...it's awesome.
Oh, there was one small change with Kirk physically today. He's missing a patch of hair the size of maybe a thumbprint on the side of his head. The weird thing is that I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if it wasn't there when we got there. No idea on what it is. Doesn't hurt so I'm fine with it. Just weird.
Anyway, that's about when we took off.
Just a reminder for anyone new to The List. You can find all previous updates and a link to the flickr page Joe set up at kirklawrence.blogspot.com. If you have any pictures of Kirk you can contribute, please send them to me or to Joe and we'll get them up there.
We just got Beavis and Illy in tonight. And I pick up Nick in the morning. Woo hoo! Gonna be a fun time. If anyone is planning on coming up, again, just let me know and I can take care of a reservation at El Casa de Jarvis with complimentary Lawrence House shuttle service.
Peace yall.
