lol, Ada abusing her powers of observation. <3 Starsailor! Nice to play on gee-tar~

So, my mum had an operation involving her sinuses. She's had allergies since forever, but didn't realize that her symptoms could also have been worsened by the inflammation inside. Hopefully this will make the allergies more bearable. : )

It was also the first time I saw anyone in real life vomit blood. You see it on TV all the time (lol my viewing preferences unveiled), but this time it was slighlty different. The blood from the operation had leaked down into her stomach, and true to Fight Club, about a litre will make you very sick. So when my mom finally threw up, it was not the nice, bright red of internal injury, but the dark, wine red of old blood... and stomach acid. My aunt was there with me, and she really really doesn't like blood. Let's just hope this is the first and only time I see blood coming out of any orifice it is not supposed to. lol

-------------------------------
During her convalescence (YES, I rocked that english test!), we watched Blood Diamond, Casino Royale, and this Chinese sitcom called "La Femme Desperado". Blood Diamond was compelling. Casino Royale was actually pretty good! But that ball-smashing part was... oh man, even as a female I had to look away.

La Femme Desperado was hilarious! A comedy + love story (lovedy?) about men vs. women in a corporate environment.

The thing about Chinese comedies is that they don't need a laugh track to remind people to laugh, they always have good looking people, sex is still taboo so you can watch it with your family (best aspect, imo), and it has an unreal, cartoony aspect that you know is entirely unreal, yet still funny. Making it very accessible to people of any age.

"Hafux" Moment of the Day: I do the Toronto Star anagram puzzle, and last week this anagram really had me scratching my head. Not one to give into pressure and just type the damn letters into an online anagram unscrambler, I spent at least the first few days trying to figure it out.

Today, on a roll from Sudoku, I decided to give it one last try before throwing it out. Suddenly, in a brain-jolted moment, these 9 letters which had me so irked from day one finally came together. "I L O T S N S P E" turned out to be "POINTLESS", which succintly summed up my entire experience with the anagram as I threw the newspaper into the trash. lol

Current Mood: cheerful
