2007...what a year it's been.
As 07 draws to a close, I've been thinking back over the year. Overall it wasn't a particularly good one, mainly because three loved ones passed away. The first being my cat, who succumbed to a similar tumour to the one that claimed my other cat's life. She had to go because she was in such pain, but it was very sad when it happened. I still ( Read more... ) -
Prezzies!
So, what did I get in this year's haul of presents? Mainly clothes and chocolate. Which is all good...I was hoping to get some books, and maybe at least one Egypt-themed item (preferably a book), but no such luck this time. I also was hoping for more money but again, maybe I was wishing too hard for that. The German gingerbread and biscuits I got ( Read more... ) -
Festive thoughts...
Just some random thoughts of all kinds...
Saw the most beautiful sunrise on the day of the solstice. It's not often that I see sunrises since I love my lie-ins, but I just had to get up to observe this sunrise and it was worth it. Makes me appreciate nature even more when I see things. I would have posted a picture but my street isn't exactly very ( Read more... ) -
The Golden Compass movie: my thoughts.
I must admit that I really, really enjoyed this film. Far from disappointing my vision of what I imagined when I read the book, it supported it, and indeed, at times the scenery was very similar to what I imagine when I read the book. I also found it much more faithful to the book than expected. Some bits were changed around, like the bear battle ( Read more... ) -
Very sad news.
I was going to write about my wonderful time at the Tut exhibition, but today I got a phonecall, saying that my uncle has passed away.
I think he died from a blood clot in the brain, can't remember the details but he was paralysed and they thought he would actually recover but he didn't. It's all happened so suddenly and I was very shocked by it. I ( Read more... ) -
New computer...
So, my mum has a new computer. It's a Mac. And I'm a PC person (so's she, for that matter). I was hoping she'd get an XP computer (apparently XP is back on sale because of the evilness of Vista!) but no, she had to go and get a Mac. it's so different in format to the PC, almost like everything is arranged backwards. Here are some things that bug me ( Read more... ) -
Scary dreams and strange skies.
I had the most awful dream last night. I won't go into detail because it was so horrible and very personal to me, and I can't believe I dreamt it. It was such that I woke up this morning shaking, it's been a while since I've had a nightmare so disturbing. I'm glad it was just a dream but I have no idea what made my mind imagine such a horrific ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I've found that the best way of curing those hurtful comments that I've read, been told, or heard, or when destructive criticism or any kind of verbal attack is made on the things or even people I hold dear, however minor, is to discuss them with a friend, make a joke about them, and laugh them off. It's a lot more effective than brooding on the ( Read more... )
