completely random topic jumping

[schmerica]

Today I should have been having my first day of classes for my junior year of college at SRC.

Oh, well.

I think my week away from the computer did me good -- the time away from fandom, particularly. I feel newly dejaded and fresh! Also, I got much cooking done -- especially after my cookbook arrived last week. That's the cookbook I've taught myself to cook with, basically. I heart it muchly.

The worst thing, really, was that I didn't have the opportunity to post post-surgery and look sad and tell you all to write me things in my time of need.

Today, I:
--read
--took care of small children
--began making a spreadsheet of all my books, noting author and full title and organizing them in alphabetical order by title. I only got the first 150 or so done, though.

Random things I cannot do:
--Roll my tongue
--Blow bubbles in bubble gum
--Snap my fingers
--Do a cartwheel
--Drive

Movies I have seen in the theater in the last week:
--SWAT (entertaining, but strangely ... small-seeming. Like the movie that ended wasn't the same movie they'd began with)
--Uptown Girls (mediocre, but that's what I expected; good enough to distract me for an hour and a half, and I liked the little girl)

okay, i just have to say that a few weeks ago i was heartily mocked for being unable to roll my tongue or blow bubbles in gum, and the mockers set up this whole thing wherein they decided the first was genetic and the second was, or so they implied, stupidity. and i just want to say that if other people can't do both, clearly it's not just that we can't learn. because how many people have told you that blowing bubbles just isn't that hard, here, just BLOW.

And then you blow, and they all laugh at you as either you make a funny spit-filled noise, or the whole piece of gum flies five feet.

My family realizes that tongue rolling is genetic, but this does that stop them from the mocking of it anyway.
