Sorry I'm boring.

I've already gone back to Matsu to try their lunch special. I just had to know if a) the good dinner I had was a fluke; b) if the lunch would be worth going to more often; and c) they had any good sushi rolls, which seems to be what ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
corianderstem prefers. ( The verdict... )
The cake I'm planning to bring to the barbecue tomorrow is supposed to be a sweet potato pound cake, but I'm going to substitute the sweet potato with pumpkin -- I don't like sweet potatoes and don't feel like roasting my own, and pumpkin has a similar texture and is available canned. It's iffy not just to bring a dessert I've never made before, but also one where I'm making my own untested substitutions ... I must be crazy.
I watched the Pilot of "Lie to Me" on Hulu; it seems fairly interesting (even though I'm indifferent about Tim Roth). Other than some of the conclusions seeming forced/contrived, the episode was decent and the premise is basically just a more specific twist on tried-and-true profiling. (In other words, pffft, Mulder perfected this stuff years ago.)
I don't think I've mentioned this before, but a couple of weeks ago my mom was stricken with Bell's Palsy, which left half of her face paralyzed. It's not a life-threatening issue, though obviously it's hugely inconvenient and worrisome to not be able to control some part of your body (it's difficult to eat, smile, talk, etc., and a little girl stared at her because her face looked so, well, strange -- I felt SO bad for her when she was telling me about it). They don't know what causes it -- the diagnosis is basically made through a process of elimination -- and 85% of people fully recover within 4-6 weeks. (If you look it up on Wikipedia, you'll see a whole list of celebrities who have suffered from the same thing -- unfortunately it seems that it's fairly "common.") Up until a couple of days ago, however, there had been no change in her condition, which was a little disheartening. But I got an email from my dad today saying that her condition has improved to the point where it's barely noticeable. So yay!
