Not on Les Miserables, but on my first Onigiri!

This is quite a milestone for me, so no way I'm not going to blog. Today, me and my sister (I don't talk about her much but her insight on Japanese culture is useful) were making dinner and had forgotten about the rice in the rice cooker she got for her birthday. We both ran down but it looked fine. We started on our first hand-made Onigiri!
For those who don't know, Onigiri is a Japanese rice ball.
Anyway, right off we had a problem. I had washed my hands just before so not much of a problem for me, but my sis had. The rice kept sticking to our hands. I figured since I washed my hands, it didn't stick as much, so we tried my theory. It worked! (For me) So we made about seven. My last one was the best!! I'll take a picture and put it up when I get the chance.
Normally Onigiri has a bit of seaweed on them, but I had a bad experience with my first seaweed, so there was none in the house.
So to my first Onigiri and a good day in my Renaissance tunic (It was too hot so I wore my tunic and my hair up in a leather barrette I got) and listening to my favourite music! *Kampai!*
Ciao!

Not on Les Miserables, but on reading none the less.

*sigh* what a night of reading...
Many times I have been killed by the effects of the AP Euro curse. For those who don't know,  the curse is basically: Anything you learn is AP Euro, you will find in everyday life, such as books and manga/anime. Now, I have read several books so far with references such as Corn Laws and French Revolution (Lord kill me now). Now, while reading at one in the morning, I found another one.
The Shakespeare Curse. As many of you have read, I was in As You Like It. And if you're in a play, you basically remember it for the rest of you freaking life!
Example 1:
In The Fire Rose, a book by Mercedes Lackey, it references so much bloody European history, I was about to hang myself. Just when I was calming down, they talk about names. The main heroine's name is Rosalind Hawkins. Let us just pause for a moment, shall we?   (For those who don't know Shakespeare off the top of their head, take this pause to go on Wikipedia.) Ya feel my pain now. They even go so far as to mention Shakespeare. Though that is as far as they go.
*Another sigh* Why must school curse me so? It's still August. Even though it has gone by so fast again.
This will be posted in the morning since I can't get any wifi. Notes are quite useful.

On Les Miserables-

I have realized the chapters are just like in Hard Time (Charles Dickens) (Never read it!). Very short, only about a few normal pages long. Because of that, I would be here forever trying to make a post for each one. So only every few would I post something. Since I do get distracted by other books quick easily, I haven't gotten very far. All that has happened so far was Hugo was describing this bishop or priest character. Now I'm all for character development, but get on with it! Get to the interesting part, come on hurry up!
I'll be making a more detailed summery later, it's just now, I'm hungry.
