Yay! Tastebuds slowly returning! I can now taste:

1. Peach ice cream

2. Garlic

(The latter being a problem. I chose to eat in the dining hall tonight because “Hey! If I have no sense of taste, the excessive garlic won’t be a problem, will it?” Oh, how my plot is foiled.)

WAH! I HAVE LOST MY SENSE OF TASTE! And I just remembered that because I have rhinitis, I’m not allowed to sing for a WEEK. Okay, Renata. You need to take over the world so that I can have Ewan, Billeh, and Alan nurse me back to health. I reiterate: Sick = NO FUN.

ARRRRRRRRGH!!!!! NOT FUN AT ALL. Why is it that every time I get “sick” it’s rhinitis? Coughing up blood is NO FUN. *goes back to annoying regime of medicines perscribed the last time this happened*

As Rebecca M once said, if I have to be coughing up blood, I should at least be entitled to cuddle Ewan McGregor. Life is so hard.

In celebration of my Diligence and Hard Work, after an intense bout of studying for Math I decided to let myself relax with some crazy fun. For my amusement, I watched clips of X2, dubbed in French. Good gravy, the voices are HILARIOUS AND SO WRONG. Kurt has this Darth Vader-quality low voice. And hearing the name “Wolverine” and “Logan” pronounced in a French accent is too funny by half. “Vite Loh-GANNE!” So is Kurt’s “Gehen sie raus!” bit, as German in a French accent (coupled with NO VOICE ACTING ABILITY AT ALL) is highly entertaining. Especially because they kept a few snatches of Alan’s voice — screaming as he falls out of the rafters, then panting heavily after being caught by Jean. Then it suddenly flips into the French Darth Vader voice again when he starts to speak, and we are amused. And “mutant” sounds too much like “moutton” (sheep) to not earn a snicker each time it’s said.

Upon further reflection: Make that a French Darth Vader with emphysema. At “Wagner… Kurt Wagner” I thought he was going to hack up a lung.

I have seen this movie way too many times. And I’m not about to stop any time soon. :D But it’s all good, because I realize just how much of my French I retained, so go me. And go Renata, who was on CNN and C-SPAN today because she is super-cool! *waves Pirates for Dean flag*

EDIT: I’m glad I speak English. It occurs to me that there are only TWO VOICES is the entire French-speaking population. Everyone sounds EXACTLY ALIKE and this is VERY HUMOROUS.

2nd EDIT: “Kurt Wagner! Mais a Munich, dans la cirque, je t’ai (?) “Le Diable Incroyable!” (*dies*)

Cosi mint hot chocolate will cure cancer and AIDS, end world hunger, lead to world peace, put Howard Dean in the White House, and rid the world of Mary Sues. It’s that good. *will order a larger size next time*
