+ As any other UK Higher Education institution we submit our statistical returns at the end of September. This means that September is a very BUSY month for me. But again, it is not all bad because about this time last year statistical over-returnedness pushed me to the Internet delights and I found fantastically great [livejournal.com profile] leecaps by fabulous [livejournal.com profile] queenofthorns . And I had to join LJ in order to express all my glee about [livejournal.com profile] leecaps.

+ There will be 1 year soon of my existence as a LJ person. It is great to meet all the wonderful and interesting people and this is the main reason I find LJ so enjoyable. But as the sideline, I was thinking this week that I feel LJ is helping me a great deal to develop communication skills and narrow my cultural gap of "alien" person in UK. I don’t know if I express this well – but I feel it!

+ Due to the crazy state of the world I had to watch something “nice and easy” yesterday. I watched “In her Shoes”. It is a romantic comedy about two sisters and their friendship. It was predictable and fluffy, but it hit a right chord with me. And I love Toni Colette. I laughed and cried and forgot the state of the world for a while.

+ I also treated myself to sushi. After all the food I saw in the [livejournal.com profile] koalathebear recent posts I HAD TO DO IT. I had miso soup, noodles, chicken curry thing and sticky rice sweets. YUMMM!

+ I gave my “North and South” DVDs to my Russia friend. She is an English teacher and loves watching non-dubbed DVDs. YAY!!!!!!! North and South is going to conquer the world with LOVE.
