BookBox's animated stories
In my relentless search for means of improving my French listening skills, I found this interesting channel on YouTube where you can watch short animated stories with captions in the language that you're learning. There seem to be a lot of Indian languages as well as the usual Indo-Europeans languages we're used to, including French, German, ( Read more... ) -
About that kitten
I was so miserable that my mother actually went to see my neighbor and gave her a piece of her mind. It turns out that in all likelihood it was her granddaughter who gave it away. According to my mother, my neighbor looked sincerely sorry about what happened and said she would try to get the kitten back ( Read more... ) -
I'm so upset right now
Exactly two months ago, my neighbor's cat had kittens. They were all beautiful, but one of them in particular caught my attention - my whole family's attention, really. We decided we wanted to adopt it when it was old enough to be away from its mother. My neighbor agreed and said she would save it for us. For nearly two months, we waited. We didn't ( Read more... ) -

I miss Kim Possible (?!)
I miss Kim Possible, even though I never watched it in the first place aside from a couple of random episodes and movie scenes. It's weird, isn't it? Well, I'm kind of a "second-hand fan", if there is such a thing, because I only read fics about it. If KP went back to airing here in Brazil, I'd probably watch it, though. Our TV has been so crappy ( Read more... ) -

Happy New Year (+ Resolutions)
2012 was a strange year. It felt like a period of reflection. I feel bad that I've been a little absent with my friends lately, but I felt the need to go into a sort of "retreat" and try to sort things out. In a way, I've been psychologically preparing myself for the next years. I need to be more responsible and face my fears and insecurities, so ( Read more... )
