That's a quote from Abraham Lincoln: "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." I've made up my mind that for 2010 my resolution is to be happier. Not because I'm unhappy; I'm actually thrilled with the way things are going lately and am pretty happy these days, but I just feel like I don't appreciate everything I have ( Read more... )

So, yeah, wow... 2009 is hours away from being over and I've failed at blogging. Well, since I last posted at the beginning of the month, a few things of note happened that I probably would've blogged about had the last few weeks of the year not been a whirlwind ( Read more... )

Okay, well, I'm not really home. But I'm back on American soil. I'm in Boston at a Holiday Inn Express. I intended to catch up on my blogging last night, but I was exhausted. I guess GMT finally caught up with me. The flight home wasn't too bad. I am about half way through Breaking Dawn right now. Anyway, I've gotta get going... no idea how ( Read more... )

I'm safely back in Leicester after two more days in Ireland. I have to admit, I was a bit worried about the flight considering our flight number was 666. Honestly, who gives a flight that number? Would it kill them to have skipped over and gone from 665 to 667? Anyway... Day 6 of my trip ( Read more... )

AND NOW I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE AND NOW I'M GOING THROUGH WITHDRAWAL! AND THEY KEEP SHOWING THE TRAILER ON TV AND famouslyso LINKED TO THIS INCREDIBLE PICSPAM AND NONE OF IT IS HELPING MY ( Read more... )

So, as usual, I'm behind on my blogging. No great excuse considering I'm UNEMPLOYED now and should therefore have lots of free time, but as usual, I fill up all my free time doing too much. And I've been snowed in and trafficked in and all sorts of stuff that should have kept me glued to the internet, and therefore caught up on my flist and ( Read more... )

This is my obligatory post to further delay one of my most dreaded tasks, packing. I hatehatehate it. I always wind up forgetting something and bringing tons of things I don't need. I just hate travel. I like going new places, I just hate getting there. Our plane for Vegas leaves at 6AM and I hope it's on time because our layover in Texas is ( Read more... )

Yesterday I woke up in the most horrible way: sobbing hysterically, wailing and screaming from a nightmare. This is what I get for going back to sleep after my alarm goes off instead of getting my lazy ass out of bed. I don't remember what was going on in the first part of the dream, and it maybe doesn't matter. But in the end of it I was ( Read more... )

I would like to recommend the following to my flist:

TV Show: New Amsterdam - This show is amazing. I think it's probably up there with Pushing Daisies as one of the best new shows of the season. Definitely watch it, it's such a smart and entertaining show.

Book: Atonement by Ian McEwan - If you didn't enjoy the movie, you probably won't like the ( Read more... )
