I've been really busy knitting this last week, and there's been some paperwork I didn't expect as well, Last weekend, I visited a friend of mine, and we went to three Christmas pageants/parties, so I'm almost bored of Christmas music and the sweet pastries already, with still some days to go. It was fun, though. I can't even remember the last ( Read more... )

   Yep, I finally made cookies. I don't think I've talked about it a lot here, since it's not that important, but I've been meaning to make more of those chocolate cookies, that are very addictive, and I finally made some. What's more, I finally got some keyboard practice today. I haven't been in the mood lately, or I've been too tired, or I've had ( Read more... )

   It seemed so promising yesterday. The sun was shining almost all day, and it was warm and summery. That's when I stayed at home, because I didn't need to go anywhere. Today, on the other hand, it's been windy and rainy, and I haven't seen the sun once. I did get something done, though. I went to the library and bought two books for 1€ (that ( Read more... )

   I was really tired yesterday, so I didn't get around to writing after all. Sorry! And no, I didn't have a hangover, because I don't drink.

I found this song-book at the library yesterday, as I think I told you. It's a book I own myself, but I'm not sure where it is anymore. My best bet is at the summer cottage, ( Read more... )

   If I should ever feel a lack of inspiration, I only have to go to Wikipedia. Yes, that unreliable source I was bad-mouthing only yesterday. I don't want to think about all the hours I've spent there, clicking on links. Sometimes I'd check my browsing history afterwards, and it was hilarious, because almost anything as a starting point could lead ( Read more... )

   Before I forget, a news item: House is drawing to its close, the 8th season is going to be the final one. I'm a big fan of the show, but I must say I'm more relieved than anything else. A good show should end before people start wishing it would. And since the show has already had a good run, made a ton of money and explored all the issues of ( Read more... )
