Happy birthday, Nora! If you keep making decrees like that I'm going to have to vote Nora for Queen.

Tep, Matilda and I are watching the Teen Titans episode where Robin goes off to train in Tibet and all the other Titans sneak into his room and wear his costumes and pretend to be Robin. (It's pretty hilarious.)

The jealousy is about to get louder.

I can't hear you over how cool you are!

Including the caterpillar! Although Raven in Robin's uniform is the funniest to me.

BTW, I still use the Robin roll-y bag you gave me. It has Evil Things in it, and people are always bemused when I show up at a party with it.

Does anyone here make their own sushi? I have discovered sushi, and I'm thinking I should make my own instead of incurring the narrow glare from Grandpa who makes the sushi at my favorite Chinese all-you-can-eat when I come back for thirds. I'm interested in the rolled-up stuff rather than the lumps of rice with a piece of fish on top.

I make my own, but i'm veggie so there's no fish involved. It is high effort but super yummy and the only special equipment involved is a bamboo rolling mat. I hear you can use saran wrap, but that is more difficult.

I've tried it. If you're not worried about aesthetics, it's fine. Me, I was unhappy with the lack of perfection in my homemade sushi, and I couldn't enjoy the taste as much. But, that's my crazy.

eta: Or you could just be better at it than me :)

Birthday happies, Nora!

Did you celebrate by taking the day off?

Although it probably makes as much or more sense to take the day after off instead (or in addition to).

Which I usually end up doing because two days after my birthday is the 4th of July.

no, I'm at work and will be at work for the rest of the week. So sad!

Well boo, that's no fun.
