I have done many very nice things on my holiday break. I went out to eat every day of the last week. :D I do like eating out. I can cook, but for me cooking is like programming: you put things in, you get the food out. The only non-programming thing about it is the mess afterwards ( Read more... )

I am fully back with "Supernatural" love because the season 5 was quite good. Both my daughter and I watched it with interest (and isn't it great to have someone to watch things with me - we seem to have similar tastes!!!) . To be honest, the ending of the season was quite week and very anti-climatic, but there were plenty of good episodes in the ( Read more... )

My huge apologies! It always happens to me that after a LJ break I find myself a little slow to get into the habit of posting and commenting again. However, I must start posting regularly again, because my head is full of unexpressed thoughts and opinions (to the point of bursting), hence I have many many fragmented things to say:

I have missed you all so so much, please let me know of any major news! My belated birthday wishes to the fantabulous baleanoptera!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holiday rep:The holidays were wonderful. Scottish West coast is one of most gorgeous places on Earth. We had wonderful time with our small family and my daughter’s friend: swam in the sea, did long beach walks, biking ( Read more... )

I do get an occasional "dumb day" and it is today. May be I overdid jogging yesterday and my body is saying "hang on, dearie! Let's have a rest!"..

The WireBut something very cheerful happened to me today - I have "addicted" one of our guys from work to the excellence that "The Wire" series is.. He watched the first season in one weekend! He ( Read more... )

Moonlight- I finally watched "Moonlight" and I liked it. A LOT. First I shall get out of the way all the things that are bad in this show (only in my own opinion, of course!). I like vampire stories, I honestly do. I have been reading and watching various stories about supernatural since I was at school and first red Alexey Konstantinovich Tolstoy ( Read more... )

My daughter's sleep-over party extravaganza went much better and easier than I expected. Girls did sleep quite a bit of their sleep-over time (8 hours !!!! Weee!) and the rest of time they were happy without big fall outs or any other drama. May be I can do this again. :D

London trip I am off to London tomorrow. About 2 months ago we applied for ( Read more... )

Kamenashi Kazuya/KAT-TUN/Yamapi/ Nobuta wo Produce/ Kurosagi
Fabulous winterspel made a great post promoting music clips of Japanese singer/actor Kamenashi Kazuya and Japanese boy band "KAT-TUN". I have been listening to these clips on and off and I am pleasantly surprised. The standard of music and voices is quite high. The standard of dancing is even ( Read more... )

Supernatural I couldn’t think straight all through “ Children shouldn’t play with dead things” because Dean was sporting some dark blue jacket and it somehow made him even more attractive then usual.. ** sigh **. I made screencaps and now I want to make some icons. Yep, it means I am really getting into this show. And then Dean was opening a ( Read more... )

+ I spend the good part of my Monday in the Sheffield teaching dentistry hospital. The thing is, I have one tooth which had nerve removed and filling made 17 years ago in Russia. This tooth became a main star of the show on Monday. I had to make x-rays of three different shapes and forms, and then all the students and tutors alike spent about 30 ( Read more... )
