Is there any buzz in Germany about Tom Cruise’s new movie? I heard that it was not so good from some critic. If thats really true, its a shame. I know the basic outline of the true story. It deserves to be showcased in a “best picture” worthy vehicle!

Nice to see you are up and around, well sort of…

Happy New Year to you too! Anarki did a good job of relaying your New Year wishes earlier, btw. So you may give him a pat on the back for a job well done.

I’ve been busy trying to catch up on a little reading. Of course, I’m still way behind, but…that’s actually a pleasant place to be.

I just finished Michael Connolly’s “The Brass Verdict”. Very good. I like his new main character.

I’ve heard “Valkyrie” is good. Hmmm…don’t know about that spelling, but I’m too lazy to check right now. My hair stylist loved it. I haven’t seen it yet. I’ll probably wait until it gets to DVD. I watched, “The Dark Knight”, “Wall-E”, “The Duchess” and “Mamma Mia” over the holidays. All good in different ways.

Now I’m off to scrounge up lunch. I’m starving…

How’s your cold, Sis? Any better? The Father didn’t sound too healthy the last time he phoned.
And guess what? Hubby woke up with a cold this morning.

…and here, there’s a diarrhea-epidemic. On many doors there’s a sign saying: “Please check with the nurse’s office before entering”. They try to stop the virus from spreading that way.
I hope they succeed, I really don’t want to catch it. Yuck!

Geez, you guys, stop with the viruses, diseases and various unhealthy conditions all ready! Take more vitamins, avoid fast food, wear warm clothes and stay away from the typhoid Mary types!

Anyway, get well soon everyone!

Those pictures are…unique

I. Walked. To. Town.
And. Back.
And. I’m. Still. Alive.

*staggers out triumphantly*

I’m senile.

@ Lynnette: Yeah, at the time I had no clue when I’d be able to drag myself out of bed and sit at the pc, and the year was getting older and older…

My books have all been read already a loooong time ago.

@ Lynnette again: ‘S a bit difficult to avoid getting sick if you spend 2 full days selling fireworks at outside temperatures…. Brrrrr.

@ David: At least it’s genuine fireworks from my new year….

@ Lelly: Yeah, what can I say? I’m a genius.

@ Mafdet: Artsy indeed.

Well, I hope you’ll like ‘em.

And I am so proud of you.
*cheers*

Congrats!

Hopefully it will become easier.

Mel,

Your books have been all read loooooong ago? That’s not good. Currently I am reading two. I started “Hot, Flat and Crowded” by Thomas Friedman, but then a co-worker loaned me “The Gate House” by Nelson DeMille, so I switched to that. *sigh* It’s very, very long.

*whispers softly*

No, I didn’t fall asleep while reading your comments section. I left the window open while I took a load of laundry out of the dryer.

*hops maniacally up and down, grinning stupidly*

Yesterday America turned a corner. After eight years of darkness, hopefully we will once again see some light.

Hm… no new post yet.

*slouches off again*

What’s new Mel? We haven’t seen you in a while. Or is it awhile? No, no, I don’t want to go there… lol!

Where are you?!

Long is good for books. I need new books. *wills birthday to come faster*

@ Mafdet: Wow, I really didn’t reply here in a while… Going home, are you? *cough, cough*

@ Lynnette again: Yes, good news indeed that were.

@ David:
Let’s hope Obama will indeed bring the light.

@ Lelly: As if you didn’t know what’s going on in Mel-Land….
There’s a new post, look!

@ Mafdet: Hey, come back!
Look, there’s a new post!

@ Lynnette: Yeah, I was being lazy for a while, please forgive me. But there’s a new post up, look!
Well, I intend to ignore the 25 things thingy.

@ Attawie: *waves*
Am right here.
Look, there’s a new post up!

@ David: Well, winter isn’t quite over yet, but at least it was warm enough today for me to have been crawling through the garden with freezing feet, hacking at some weeds and trashing a few skeletal leftover vegetable plants.

@ Lelly: Pffff, spammers….

I’m relieved to see that you post to your blog even less frequently than I do to mine. Relieved, and also disappointed. Get back to it!
