"Somersault" is one of those words I never spell correctly the first time I type it. Too unnecessarily French, I think. Real challenge, little reward. It's like one of those transparent puzzle boxes with the ten dollar bill in the center that somebody always winds up sticking in the White Elephant exchange. As if choosing a gift at random from a pile wasn't stressful enough, you have to suffer the indignity of performing monkey-grade tricks to get to the real present.
So, somersault. I've done one, but never had to spell it. Thank god for spellcheck. Or Google keyword searches, which is how I actually learn how to spell 70% of the words I struggle with.
Here is a video of a panda bear doing a somersault.
There's no sound, so I suggest downloading "Spanish Flea" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass and playing it in the background.
No, there really wasn't a point to this entry, was there?

CAKE is dropping a new album in January! Wow. This is their first since 2004's "Pressure Chief," which failed to live up to just about every expectation I had for listenable music at the time. (To be fair to CAKE, I was in college and listening to a lot of Blind Melon when "Pressure Chief" dropped. It turns out I was wrong about a lot of things in college.)
