# I'm not actually dead. I've even been online, more or less - I used to insist that Salzburg/Maishofen was my internet and computer free time, just me and my books, detox, but I've finally caved and bought myself usb-stick internet for my sister's old laptop that I mainly got to familiarise my Mac using self with Office, Excel, etc., which I've ( Read more... )

About growing older (which I'm thinking a lot about, since I turned 41 on Sunday): different things are significant to me than when I was younger. Some things from the past lost their significance, true. But other things are more significant, like sitting in quietness and just being aware of energy flowing through my body. You probably couldn't have paid me enough money to do that when I was 16. And my spiritual leanings have changed a LOT, so that whole aspect of my life has shifted in terms of what is significant and what no longer is.

I'm glad you were able to get so much skiing in. Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Thanks! :) Sadly there's very little left of it...

Yeah, these kinds of changes can be shocking and can take time to get used to.

Re: Avatar - the really really sad thing is that I think they believe it *is* a good script. I'm glad I didn't spend the money for the 3-D version.

There was a non-3D version? I wasn't even aware... But in any case, I, er, earned my ticket with prof-reading, so at least I'm not regretting the waste of (my) money. *g* Maybe it's a problem with my eyes or something, but while I *do* see the 3D effect, for me these movies are exhausting to watch, especially the fast actions scenes...
