First things first: FINALS WEEK IS OVER. PARADES. REJOICING. WORLD PEACE.
Now.
I'm a little ticked off because my dad brought home gluten-free homemade cookies that his baking genius colleague made for us yesterday, and my sister ate all but two of a fourteen-cookie batch. In less than twenty-four hours.
The real kicker is that she had to go to softball practice right after we got them, and I offered to not eat any until she got back. I, being a nice sister, kept my promise. And, because I'm so nice, I ended up with two cookies while she ate twelve.
Ain't sisterhood great?!
On to usual programming.
I apologize for the lack of posts recently, but as stated above, this past week was finals week - and I was home sick on Monday. To be honest, I was still sick until about Thursday, but I honestly couldn't afford to miss any more school. Especially for finals week.
You know, it's amazing how much homework you get during finals week. Review packets I can understand, sure. But honestly, I got about half an hour of sleep during the entire week, didn't do any flashcard gimmicky review stuff, and pulled all nighters nearly every day.
Thank god I'm used to doing that.
Yesterday I saw Skyfall. Right. Easily the best film I've seen in years. I have to admit that I absolutely adore Q, if only because he's basically me but a genius. And male. And British. Anyway, fantastic film, would recommend to anyone old enough to handle guys shaving in towels and getting shot. (Not at the same time, mind you.) It's a brilliant 007 film.
Today was... actually rather lovely. I slept for like ten hours to make up for the dearth of shuteye during the week. Then the assorted people in the house brought home Noodles and Company (which was admittedly kind of rubbery but Olive Garden's is far worse for gluten free, so who cares). And then, joy of joys, I went to Barnes and Noble with forty quid in giftcards to spend.
Heaven.
Anyway, I ended up with a history book - yes, I adore history - a Rex Stout mystery, Smithsonian magazine, and the Hobbit official movie guide. (Shut up. I'm allowed to fangirl over Tolkien.)
Speaking of the Hobbit, I'm going to see it opening night with a group of friends. But get this - none of them want to see it in 3D.
I'll repeat that. None of them want to see it in 3D.
I.. to be honest, I don't understand. They were all "I wish we could see this in 3D!" when we had a LOTR marathon, and now the Hobbit is coming out in less than two weeks and they've gone all Eeyore!
I'll be frank. The Hobbit is one of my absolute favourite books. It's pretty much tied with This Side of Paradise. Bilbo is one of the few people, real or fictional, that I have completely fallen in love with (albeit completely platonically in all cases). I simply do not understand why people would choose to experience it in a less than complete way.
If you're offered tickets to see your favourite band perform, you do not say "No thanks, I think I'll sit outside and listen from there."
So, that's been my day. Not much happened.
How was yours?
