thirdly telling them to eff off for lefty,) I´m part Viking, so they must obey or else.
The reddish types of gooseberries and also lingonberries grow even in that cold of climate. I didn´t know anyone else had every heard of milktoast (hence my giving a description).
afternoon Evening uhm past midnight here now. Am relaxing a bit before bed, after the entire bloody day spent sat around studying, with one hour for exercise. All this sitting is what is making my lower back hurt:(
6$ for movie tickets, well done! They give 2 for 1 once a week, which is good, but I like going alone to the movies usually. Skyfall was the last movie...not sure what to see next.
Quick recovery of the minidragon, yay

I loved Django Unchained. So many over the top characters, so much fun! We saw Silver Linings Playbook last night...funny and sweet, Jennifer Lawrence is amazing in it.

ooh garden planning! sigh--seeing snow out my window noting Winter break holiday hasn´t even gotten here yet,)
Oh yeah, I did want to see that, the new version. I saw an old black and white Django the other day. Must check to see if the cinema here still is showing it. In Italy I saw The Quartet and Cloud Atlas (wow damn their theatre was gorgeous!!! I took tonnes of photos and videos which did not do it justice!)

Thanks for the fuckoffs, people! People are less annoying today, so it clearly worked.
I think I'm getting a cold though, so I may well become an annoying person.

hola itsa! the minidragon is filled with vim and vigor. when i got home in the afternoon his eyelids were starting to fall down over his eyes and he was getting hot and cranky, but some advil revived him. we had an exciting afternoon in which i was a baby bear and a baby dragon and something else too, and he had quite a lot of things on his agenda that we had to do. he's off to bed and mr d and i are exhausted. but very very happy that he's doing so well.
do you guys get flu shots?

maple
There is a perfection to be found in waiting. A waiting that sustains. Boredom is the imperfection to be found through failing to wait.
I used to joke that life is too long to be bored. Awareness that my mortal limitation draws closer encourages my waiting.
I have looked for something that might express this well and have found these verses that I think good having read them through, perhaps they are, only time will tell.
Learning to wait consumes my life Consumes and feeds as well Where I have loved I love in strife That love I could not tell I saw it vanish into hate Because I had not learned to wait
This I declare because I know That where I love again I shall not ask the seed to grow Nor grind unripened grain But silent in my blissful state Serve love through having learned to wait
All that I grasped at I have lost All I relinquished won The marriage of two minds at most Deceives till all is done And love the conqueror yields to fate Strong in having learned to wait.
(Attributed to Richard Church)

I get flu shots. My parents are old and I don't want to be the person that gives them flu.

That's very nice, slowcoach. Thank you.
I've never had a flu shot, dragonfly.
Sending a big fuckoff to the cold that's threatening you, lefty!

Lol mapes!
I've had a flu shot once, because it was free at work, but I generally don't get them. I rarely get colds let alone a flu. This cold will make me sulky (because I don't get colds often), but I will be able to mostly rest for the next four days.
Seriously, dragon, I think your munchkin could power half of Mexico if we could somehow feed his energy back into the power grid.

Never had flu shots until this year. Not that I thought it was necessary but some bureaucrat at immigrations has decided that all Green Card applicants must be vaccinated against the flu. I also had to be tested for Syphilis and Typhus. But not for HIV, apparently that's discrimination. The whole thing just made me laugh & even the doc thought it was silly.
At least I'm immune against flu for the rest of the winter.

The Quartet got bad reviews, accused of being sentimental....so not everyone´s cup of tea, but yes, I loved it. Was in the mood for sentimental romantic; I liked how the movie was "real" not 2 hours of LOUD in your face computer fancied up graphics etc, just real actors acting well, in a real location. I thought the location was pretty in the movie, and liked the storyline, music etc. And well, my god I was in ITALY, in this amazingly gorgeous historic building with the most gorgeous details everywhere. The Odeon in Florence. I went to a few other movie theatres there but forgot my camera so no photos or vids of the others. From my blog a few photos of it, go halfway down writeeklektikos.blogspot.no/2013/01/eat-pray-go-to-movies.htmlthanks for the movie suggestions, I decided to go next week...still can´t choose though, will just see what´s on when I get there,) ---- Nope I never get shots lest I absolutely have no choice.As a non-local, I also think I´ll get sick anyway, and I feel it is good to help my body naturally build up immunity to the local bugs.

After a very bad case of flu some years ago, I started to get vaccinned every year in march when the flu season vaccination starts here.
I am glad mini D is doing better!
I am having SO many issues to solve today that it should be legal to shoot the people who cause the problems. Just thinkin'
