The Secret is Kertenkelellerimizde

Today and yesterday, my cousins visited. Lots of cousins. It's fun to hang out with cousins, most of them. It was fun right up until the point where I offered to put on "the Incredibles" being that I owned it since I spent $25 on it. And then my sister said, "O, I lent it to some other cousins." Cousins that don't make me so happy. Cousins who leave their CDs and DVDs lying out on the ground, face down, whether or not it belongs to them or that they're borrowing. These cousins don't make me too happy. The fact that my parents lent them the DVD doesn't make me too happy. The fact that when I asked them about it, and they had no recollection at all - that makes me REALLY unhappy. I really need to rescue my DVD as soon as possible. Why couldn't they just take, well, Center Stage or something? If they scratch that DVD, they're buying me a new one.
Today was still pretty fun though. Sylvie is reading the "His Dark MAterials" series, which I just finished reading too. I've been nagging May to read it, but as usual, she is ever resistent to any of my suggestions. I also helped with her morphology homework. I've decided that linguistics is lots and lots of fun, maybe I should take an introductory course of some sort after next semester, right between figure drawing and costume design. Today I think I figured out how, in Turkish, to say "to your friend," "in our lizards," and "it is in my little house." They might be, respectively, "dostine," "kertenkelellerimizde," and "zild3ikimdedir." Next round, Swahili!
