+ School holidays!!!! We have been about 100 times in the library and watched 3 films in the cinema (restricted as 1 film per week on the bargain day) with my daughter and her friend Ben, We watched :

-Garfield 2 - Very adorable and cat-oriented
-Monster-house - Very good visually, but I am still not sure about PG rating it gets – the film’s story had some moments which were a little too gross for me.
-Ant-Bully Lovely and promoting team values.

+ The Best THING EVER is that I have found that our library has a full trilogy of Garth Nix (“Sabriel”, “Lirael” and “Abhorsen”) and I borrowed all three books! I am reading “Lirael” at the moment and I like it even more then the first book “Sabriel”. I think this is because I like Disreputable Dog too much for words :). But honestly, there is something in the way Garth Nix writes the books which is really seamless and elegant and grabs my attention so that when I pick his books I can’t put them down.

+ I have watched Prison Break yesterday and now I am not only a huge fan of most attractively intense Michael Scofield, but I am also a HUGE fan of the agent Mahone. Because he is so ascetically attractive and focused and I love this kind of thing.

+ I had to re-watch some of the bits of Long Vacation (Japanese drama, shortened to jdorama) and I am still buzzing with the feeling “I found something new and great”. Thank you very much everybody on my friends list who was talking so much about doramas! This is a new thing which is going to be a huge love, I feel it! (Even if it means bad download speeds :)

+ Work is BUSY and I am buried under the various things. I like being busy, actually. And my last system (Our University’s on-line phonebook) seems to be a success with everybody!

+ Bart-the-Cat is growing to be a really beautiful cat. All my previous cats seemed to be scruffy fellows, but this one is sleek and shiny and gorgeous.

So where are Bart-the-Cat pictures, huh? And I haven't seen Monday's Prison Break yet, but I love William Fichtner, so having him in a show along with Pretty!Wenty and Robert Knepper (another fave) is pure heaven for me.

the Prison Break premiere was so good! I think season two is going to be better than season one. I was somewhat disappointed in the finale last season, especially the part where T-Bag's hand got cut off and he gets up a few minutes later. there were always implausible, ridiculous things that happened last season but that was so over-the-top. but now I am just convinced that T-Bag is superhuman, and am enjoying all of Robert Knepper's hamming.

and Mahone. is. awesome. I have always liked William Fichtner, when I saw him in the commercial trailers I was excited. Mahone is going to be a perfect adversary for Michael, finally someone with matching intellect.

the origami note for Sarah made me squee like a little fangirl.

and they killed Veronica! I mean I didn't really care all that much for her(though I had started to warm to her a little at the end of last year) but I was shocked! I can't wait for the next episode.

EEEEEEEE!!!!! Yes, this is exactly why I love Lirael soooo much. (And also that she's kind of confused about her place in the world and not instantaneously good at everything!)

I have just bought Long Vacation and am excited to get a chance to see it... But the list of things I have to watch is getting longer and longer and the summer is nearly over! Woes!

The Old Kingdom series(Lirael, etc.) are absolutely fabulous, and yes Lirael is my favorite too-it's just the best overall and the Disreputable Dog is hilarious.
