Yes, I liked that movie

What’s your number. It’s a corny romantic comedy, but not as typical as most of them, there as some things that are atypical, that I like, and just…I like it. (yes, another one of those

This is my 500th post!

I would promise to write better, but I can’t; and as in better, I mean longer, more juicy sentences (grammatically, and ok, the topics could be more interesting too, but I live a boring life), grammatically better structured etc etc.

Now that I have told all that is bad, I will also say that I am ok with it. If I would say I am happy, I would lie, because I do not put enough effort into it to call it that. This is my sorta diary, and it seems this way because nobody talks back to me, too…See what I mean with grammatically better sentences? (and this was supposed to be a paragraph of positive things. I ain’t good with that )

So. Happy 500th!

Nom’s are out; Gb remembers

First thing I thought of when Academy awards were announced today was of a day few days ago, when I left my than roomie and BFF wait at the restaurant because I was watching the nominations. She id not understand (It was 5 min max, but…It was more that I told why I was late, not that I was late )

Just wanted to share…

(If you are interested in nomination, I found this fun and useful).

Me tired

- – - Written on monday. Was a good girl this week, studied a lot, forgot all about a blog. - – –

Woke in the middle of the night to watch the Golden globes. Went back to sleep. Worried the whole time what will happen when I wake up because my cell was out of battery and I didn’t want to look for it at that hour ((I NEED to k now what time is it when I first open my eyes to see if I can try to go back (I wake easily and am usually not capable of going back to sleep).

Slept till 7.45, was happy with that, ate cheese with banana and honey, took the dog for a walk, put the trash out took a shower and washed my hair, dyed my hair, watches 50/50 whilst doing it, washed my hair again (good workout or my leg muscles, bending over the tub for that long – washing out henna takes forever!), dried my hair, made lunch (pasta with leek with tuna), finished checking out all the G. globes posts I could find, hoped on a bike with the dog and went for a walk and a cup of cocoa with BFF and the baby, came back, freezing, started to go through my study book, realised I have to work on my concentration, because I have none. I am pretty patient with myself at that point, because after years of not doing anything with my brain it will take time, but I really need to come up with a system.

No idea of what kind as yet I’ll post it when I figure it out!!

Ginger again!

I used henna on my hair again. Last time I was at hair salon and had my hair done was 28th of october. When it’s over 2 months after having my hair dyed, they get lifeless and dull. Because I am growing my hair out (my bangs too! I can’t believe it’s been almost 3 months and they are not even over my eyes!!

It was a big mess, again, but it was enough of the product left and the color looks even, that’s enough for me!

The fruit bread; second attempt!

grinningbookfairy — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:45:04 +0000

So, I made the fruit bread again; this time, I remembered the one-third-starch ratio, and cut the fruit in big chunks; I even added some coconut shreds, and a fist full of partially crunched almonds! (I wrapped them in a kitchen towel and banged on the with the meat cleaver). I baked it on 120 Celsius, for an hour, and it turned out great! Really moist!! But I will not use cardamom the next time. It’s just not “our” kind of spice!

Otherwise, I love this recipe!!

Can’t find stuff!!

grinningbookfairy — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 11:54:17 +0000

Why, oh why, don’t I at least note down the things I read? And why is my search engine so crappy that I can’t find the books I am certain I already read??

I founds some more Breeds books (Lora Leigh) and I just wanted to quickly check here to which book I came. I CAN’T because I didn’t finish my reviews!!!

I am angry with myself! ! ! I do remember the content, usually the writer, rarely the title; so it’s the easiest way to have it all noted in one place.

Just btw, I also want to go through the last years posts and count the number of read books….Just to get a clue

Good hockey RN vs not so good hockey RN

grinningbookfairy — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 08:05:35 +0000

It’s Rachel Gibson (Chinooks) vs Deirdre Martin (The blades series).

I have a hard time trashing authors, so I won’t go into details; I’ll say IMHO, if you want to read a good romance novel, and you would ask me, I’ll say go for R. Gibson.

Awesome, successful day!

Yesterday was great!

I got the books I need for the exam, I coped the articles, I spoke with the other professor, I bought tea and calendars, I walked around the city, I met a girl from the nearby town so I got a ride close to home…

Just today I already went through 40 pages of the book, I know it’s beginner excitement, but…yey!

I did get a vicious headache because I haven’t eaten all day – and I was s tempted takeaway sushi McDonalds, my fav pizza place…And I only drank less than half liter of liquids until I got home at 6 in the evening. I know for net time!

So far, so good!!

OMG.

I am actually going to uni tomorrow. For literature AND to talk to a professor!!!

I made a list of what I need, I am hoping I have enough money to buy the tickets there and back, and for all the copies, and I am going to treat myself to a calendar, because I need something not threatening.

I am actually feeling more exciting than scared! Because I am going to a big city, AND after over what, 2, 3 years, I am moving my ass in uni direction!!! Ok I am totally freaking out.

Breath, gb. You are just going on a bus, to uni, make copies, nobody is going to eat you, that you walk around the city center, go and meet the professor, ask him what you need to ask, and go home. Nice and simple. Can’t be simpler!

Ok, I still need to through it in writing;

Charge the phone, update audio book

~~What will you wear?~~ Oh! I’ll wear my new dress, it will make me feel confident-er!!

ATM, money

bus

Go to uni to make copies

text friends for coffee?

calendar & tea

talk with professor
