CHRONICLING THE FAMILY VISIT

Mom's in town and has already described someone wearing too much make-up as looking like "a hooker." Kevin, meeting her for the first time, described her as "old world meets new world," which is pretty accurate. My amazing cousins Kelsi and Ana are in town, too, along with their parents - fam reunion cause my little cousin is graduating from sound engineering school, where he is learning to blow-out speakers with all brands of Mexican deathmetal and nu era industrial and grindcore, for serious - but I haven't seen them yet. According to my mom, Kelsi, who is 15 and wants to write about music and who I absolutely adore, is currently rocking a faux Harajuku look, complete with asymmetrical / chopped-up hairdo and legwarmers. This is a switch from last year, when she was full-on Evanescence goth with a little punk edge.
Family is awesome.
