Day 03 → Your favourite television programme
Um, if you don't know me, you won't know this, but VERONICA MARS. I can't think of any other television series I'd rather be stuck into, and every time I watch it I discover some piece of the mystery I didn't know, or just revel in the Marsiverse. Although don't get me started on the 3rd season.

Day 02 → Your favourite movie
How can I choose? But really, it's a three-way tie between Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sense & Sensibility and Bridget Jones' Diary. Anyone sensing a Brit theme here? I have watched these over and over and over again (one of them twice in a row once!) and they never fail to captivate me.

But I liked doing it last time and it was fun. Besides, this meme has some interesting posts at the end of it which will be timely with the end of 2010.

Day 01 → Your favourite song
This would be "Sparks", by Coldplay. Coldplay is my favourite band of all time, which may be a little cliché now, but wasn't when they were first starting out. I was in ( Read more... )

Our Expectations

Parents expect a lot of their children. Spouses expect a lot of one another. At L’Arche the house leader expects a lot of a new assistant.

Is that not what happens when a mother gives birth to a little baby with a ( Read more... )

I've been feeling the urge to go for a run lately. Something about the gorgeous weather, not taking advantage of it before the snows come (though I know in TO the snows will not be so snowy), not being able to breathe after getting up a flight of stairs, knowing that I can do this because I have done it before, all are making me itchy to get ( Read more... )

Today I was thinking about meditating, spirtuality and doing the dishes. There is a great quote about washing the dishes being part of meditating, or is it a koan about someone asking about enlightenment and the master advises them to go out and do labour intensive tasks, repeat, that is how enlightenment works.

So I have a 2nd interview today! I didn't really mention to anyone except my parents that I had a 1st interview 2 weeks ago, and then when I didn't hear anything last week I assumed I had been passed over as usual. But then I got a call late Monday afternoon! And he sounds really nice! And H has worked with him and says he's a sweetie!

Blecccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That's how I feel this morning. I had a wonderful time at Nuit Blanche on Saturday/Sunday, but it's been so long since I've been out all night I'm afraid I was a mite under-prepared. (Although I loved being out all night. I forgot how much fun it is! The last time I did that I was in Neuchatel, I'm pretty sure, ( Read more... )
