Blog & Books….Etcetera

Finished and watched… May 9, 2012

I finished reading…

  Ceremony by Robert B. Parker

A classic Spenser story.

A girl goes missing, and seems to have ended up in the prostitution business.

Can Spenser find her? And what if she doesn’t want to leave?

————————

And watched…

 ”9″ by Tim Burton

year: 2009

A bit of a disappointment. I thought it would be a touching story about puppets, but it was more of an action movie. Hmmph.

————————————————

On another note:

I ordered no less than eight bags online the other day.

(yes, there is a very good reason: these bags are no longer made. I had to get them while they were still availabe. That’s right, I had to.)

 

Silly… April 23, 2012

A silly thing happened today…

I had to find out on Goodreads which books I was actually reading.

I am reading several books, and of one of the listed titles  I thought “Oh yeah, I was reading that one!”. So I went looking around the house to find it…

And I found it, with a bookmark in it.

Funny..

 

Musical experiment… February 19, 2012

Filed under: Internet,News,Web — Simone @ 2:28 pm

I came across this musical experiment

from the Washington Post.

In the context of a journalistic piece for the newspaper, violinist Joshua Bell played some classical pieces in the entrance hall of a subway.

Read and watch how little he was appreciated…

 

 

 

Now reading… March 6, 2011

I am now reading

I See You Everywhere by Julia Glass

 

Expecting…

Several dvds… Yes indeed.

Enjoying…

The sunshine today!!

 

Oh, dear… February 9, 2011

I was just browsing a bit on the laptop. 

Only a few clicks and ´enters´ and I have ordered another dvd!

Oh , dear.

I´m finding myself making some sort of a notebook to keep track of weborders. That cannot be a good sign…

Or can it? :-)

So far, I’m only looking at bargains.

And I DO compare prices before ordering. I DO!

Finished reading

Marrying the Mistress by Joanna Trollope.

About all the things that can happen, for all types of people, all influenced by someone else’s decisions.

 

Received another bag…

by mail order.

I don’t mean to tempt anyone into making unnecessary purchases, but you might want to check out

They have an extensive dvd and cd selection….

I have placed my third order yesterday.

 

I have a soft spot… January 18, 2011

Filed under: Books,Internet,Paper,Web — Simone @ 8:24 pm

…for something, which I have so far only seen online and in magazines:

Japanese tape!

Such nice patterns! So convenient for lots of things! I don’t know what but lots of things!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finished:

The Choir by Joanna Trollope.

Not my favourite of Trollope, so many characters, I had to make a small list of names. Also, they were alternately referred to by their first names, their last names and their functions. So you need to keep track of all three before your realise who is doing what. One chapter starts with “the dean”, then there is “Hugh” and then there is “Mr. Cavendish”

Started:

A novel by Robert B. Parker. I forget which one, it’s in my bag. I started it on the train today. I’ll remember it next time.

 

Blog health… January 2, 2011

Filed under: Internet,Me,Uncategorized,Web,Writing — Simone @ 5:03 pm

I received a blog health information email from WordPress for 2010.

I have a healthy blog! :-)

Then I would like to take this opportunity [drumroll]… to thank all visitors, everybody who is checking me out frequently, or occasionally. Either way, I enjoy writing it down!
