Tim and Richard did not, in fact, prepare Dutch pancakes, because apparently one of Richard's roommates cooked pancakes earlier that day! Phooey on him. Except not really, because instead he and Tim collaborated on a DELICIOUS taco meal that tastes more authentically Mexican than what Tim and I had at that stupidly expensive restaurant last week. The meat was cooked with just the right amount of onion and Mexican spice, the tomatoes were red and delicious, the lettuce was crisp, etc. Kudos to both of them for a job well done, the food was fantastic.
We ended the evening not seeing Avatar after all, because apparently it was sold out in all the theatres in Oslo. (I'm not sure I believe this, but I wasn't so sold on the idea that I wanted to embark on a search of my own.) So instead we saw.... Sherlock Holmes! Yes, this is the third time I've seen Sherlock Holmes since it came out in theatres, but honestly, I was more excited about experiencing a Norwegian movie theatre than actually seeing the film again. It amused me how willing people were to just talk through the previews and commercials, since in Huntsville at least we all shut up immediately even for commercials, and most definitely for the previews. I had a minor moment of delight, of course, when I realized I could understand the character Dredger's French even without the aid of English subtitles. Merci, Monsieur Quick, for giving me such a keen ear for the language while I was in high school! Now if only I could understand my Cameroonian hallmates...
Today has been quite dull in comparison, aside from my crushing sadness upon learning that Andy Murray lost the Australian Open to Roger Federer. ): Oh well, Andy. Perhaps the French Open will be yours instead.
