Nothing to say ....

We have run out of Firefly. *sigh* I have emailed a friend to borrow the Serenity movie, now we just have to wait...

So what do you all suggest we should watch next?

You should all know, my mobile is now working. We bought a new battery. Yay! Oh, and we bought a cookbook.... one I have been salivating over for way too long.... yes, we bought Arabesque... :-) It turns out there is also another cookbook called Arabesque, written by completely different people. Weird.

I have been sleeping badly, and been sick. I've also been... empty lately, and I wonder if I am trying very hard to be something I am not. I love doing things with friends, and for a long time I have worked hard to include friends in things, but now I have been trying to expand my group a little so there's more flexibility and people, rather than just a few select close people. But some of the comments I get from one of the people involved make me think "Huh? Did she mean that? Was it just me or was that a bit of a nasty remark to make? Was it directed at me?" I'm not used to people who just make comments like this, and this is about the fourth or fifth time they've said things that make me wonder. Am I silly for still trying to continue things? Who knows. :-) I've been missing bablon_93 a lot, since she has been offline, and I wasn't sure if it was because of interstate visitors or what! I have been missing Lisa too, but I get to chat to her on ICQ!
:-)

I have been having lovely baths over thelast few weeks. Just once a week, I have a nice longbath with bath oil stars, and make up somemilk and honey cleanser. The cleanser hasbeen going brilliantly, and various unhappy parts of my skin are looking about 80% healed, which is awesome. So, all you lucky people going to Conflux, please tell Jackie French that she is a goddess and I was hoping to meet her cos she rocks. I remember reading one of her books on permaculture style gardening years and years ago, and it rocked!!

Ibought the cutest bra the other day. I guess it's time for a new icon!! There was a bit of a furore because LJ Abuse Team decided that icons depecting breastfeeding were against the TOC of LJ. Thankfully I believe this has been resolved with a minimum of kneecapping. Always a good thing.

Been a busy weekend. Good, butbusy. We gave the boy away and went on a date! Saw X-men 3, had some yummy japanese food at Mr Samurai, and spent too much money on books. Borders good.... Unfortunately, vinnie had a nightmare last night and I am worried it was related to being left with friends for a few hours on Friday. I'm not sure, but he was inconsolable. Now I'm worried about going to melbourne. But I am sure it will work out. And Mum is a bit more closer to home than Friday's nights' was!

Things are exchausting and exciting and isolating right now. There's stuff going on, ande watching Firefly has been great. It's a pity it didn't continue, because I think it had 7/8 years potential. It would have been good. Roleplaying is being talked about. I ran out of energyhalf way through today, despite the chinotto and dark chocolate and tea and coffee. I hope i sleep tonight. I have been having problems sleeping lately.

I have sent Sarah a link to a "goddess workshop for mothers and children under three". I think I need to find some time to think. Hkneale asked me the other day how my path was going, and I'velet it be buried under the every day. I mean, it IS part of the every day for me, but I need to spend some time cherishing.

Ok, I figure I have rambld long enough and hopefully every one else has updated by now so I have something to read.



WTF? I can do *anything* imaginable in the universe, so I'll just stand around looking hot but completely boringly stupidly not doing anything? I'd be out there throwing my weight around. Has any one considered how completely implausible the plot became once she could do anything she wanted? She could just wipe out any one who annoyed her. Or put them on the moon, the Sahara, Alcatraz... she could make mutations a default in the human genone rather than a mutation... she could live for ever, she could make the forests turn into lollies, she could make the clouds candy floss and the wind taste like vanilla. Instead, she just stands around looking vague?

But anyway. It was ok. Didn't have the urge to ask for our money back, unlike some, and found myself in the middle of the final fightscene thinking "this is an implausable manner of handling this issue, which is also by no means black and white enough for violence to be the answer."

Anyway....

Cooooooooool icon!

I recommend Dead Like Me if you haven't seen it already.

[callistra.livejournal.com]

Yup, up to second season of that now, just got to download it.

:-)

[deborahb.livejournal.com]

Oh, ahead of me, then. I haven't gotten into the downloading game yet...

[callistra.livejournal.com]

There's a game?
*blink blink*

To be fair, the writers where trying to cram about 5 years worth of build up into one little 2 hour movie. Which I suppose was the problem.
Pheonix originally was blowing entire star systems outta existence... Its hard to do much to live up to that on a film entirely grounded on planet earth.
:P

Hey, every time she was standing around looking vague (ie, back ground shot) she could have been creating disc worlds in her hands. She could have been growning flowers in the dirt in front of her. She could have been creating new species of insects. (This is all stuff she could do while people were talking or whatever in the foreground!) A little bit of imagination would have been nice.

But I suppose, if she actually learned to use her powers, then she wouldn't have wanted to suicide instead.

I've also been... empty lately

I hear you.

Me too.

The year has been so different to what i expected, so up and down, so much going on. I'm still not sure where I am with all of it.

I'm not missing anyone atm, but... I have been grateful for the peace and quiet, the sanctity of home. Spending quiet time, often not doing much of anything, with K.

Love the icon - it rocks :)

OMG - I hope it wasn't becuase we babysat him *sad sad looks* I feel terrible as once he settled after you guys left he was as good as gold and we had a lovely time.

I hope this sleeping thing sorts itself oout soon *hugs*

Nah, I think I'm just paranoid.
:-)

And besides, next time we leave him is likely to be for three whole days. That should be exciting. :-)

And besides, John thinks it was teething problems, or it could have been tummy troubles cos I gave him a chicken bone to suck on... too many factors!! :-)

But no, not your fault. :-)

Teething could be it as I did give him a bit of the bongela and he settled enough after that for me to feed him and then he was gfood...so I think that the teething thing might be a go.

Who is having him for the three days? I am sure he will be fine!!
