Not much happened since my last entry, as we've had a national holiday, but there's a couple of things that deserve a blog entry.
Last week, my grandma had a stroke. A CVA in all of its power. Yesterday, we had a lovely talk on the phone, while she was cooking lunch. In the meanwhile, my grandpa, who's 92, spent the day mowing a field with a freaking scythe. My aunt told me she tried to pick it up and she couldn't. At that point my grandpa told her to 'stick to her numbers' (my aunt teaches economy). My family may or may not come from Krypton. In all fairness, my aunt was just as spooked as me when she told me all this on the phone. Crossing my fingers I got some of those supergenes, because wow.
Yesterday I also finally found out who killed Laura Palmer (it only took me 22 years, go me), and I'm still in shock. That was really super cruel.
In other news I learned how to play Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here (which, by the way, is now my #1 Winter Soldier song) on my ukulele, and I'm so proud of myself I have no words. It's one of the best songs ever written, one of those songs that grow more and more beautiful every time I listen to it, and now I can play it too! *little dance of joy* Although I think I should work on my performance, it's more aggressive than it should be. For some reason my default setting on the ukulele is "play it like it's heavy metal". :D
