bliumchikThere was a massive thunderstorm last night which would have been absolutely beautiful if it weren't for keeping me awake the night before my first exam. Alas, such is life.
I have an adorable new baby cousin. She's about the size of a handbag, and she looks a bit like my uncle and a bit like my aunt and a bit like various ancestors and a bit like Winston Churchill but mostly like a potato.
Welcome to the world, Lauren!
My mother is a veritable treasure trove of Lost In Translation moments. She speaks quite fluent English, she just can't seem to get the hang of slang and idiom. This is akin to the time when she insisted that I fill her in on the local gossip, and at one point in the conversation blinked and uttered the immortal phrase "Oh, you mean she was feeling a bit lesbo?"
This time she was asking about my exams. I told her that I had a Brecht performance next Friday for Drama, and she said, "Is this with the groupies?"
"..." says I. "Uh. Yes... this is a group task. But um... actually, you know what, nevermind."
