Hmm, ocelots seem to be quite popular... and it's called 'Northern Lights' not 'The Golden Compass'! Argh I hate when English book titles are changed for the US!... Still looking forward to the film though :D

Zurück in Hameln after a chilled out weekend in Os. Susanne, Mark and the kids, Niklas (11), Fiona (9) and Antonia (3), came to visit on sunday. Haven't seen them since September. They've grown so much... or I've shrunk! Omi made a cake especially for the occasion. They're moving to Switzerland at the end of the summer, boooooo! I've known the kids ( Read more... )

Due to the fact that I wanted more icons/avatars yet didn't want to delete any existing ones, I upgraded to a plus account. These stupid adverts are annoying and they've buggered up the colours on my comments pages. Argh! They were too dark before and I tried to change the settings but I haven't got the nerve to do it properly - hence there's A LOT ( Read more... )

Ok I know I should be at work today, tomorrow and Friday but I just can't be bothered to face the teenagers this week. My mum called the school for me and said I was ill... which isn't so untrue, after I was ill last week. I'll go back properly on Monday, I promise.

Being at home has its advantages though. I sorted out and posted my loan, filled in ( Read more... )

Four days til Cardiff!

I'm in school waiting for my next lesson and very bored. Here's a little set of movie quotes for entertainment:

Go back to the Jo-Jo Bean. You shall not pass.

Which movie was this quote from?

A Jo-Jo Bean. Shaken, not stirred.

You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a Jo-Jo Bean.

Watched Lolita at the Hameln theatre tonight. It was very good, although I'm still not quite sure what to make of it yet... There was only one actor playing Humbert Humbert and all the other characters were re-told in his 80 minute monologue. I loved the emotion that Humbert had in his eyes and in the way he spoke. He even had tears in his eyes ( Read more... )

Just come back from the theatre after watching Lady Macbeths innerer Zirkus (Lady Macbeth's Inner Turmoil), a fifty minute, one act, one woman play in lieu of International Women's Day, woo! Basically it's all the events leading up to King Duncan's death and the tragic events that follow, but told from Lady Macbeth's perspective. The actress ( Read more... )
