Alexandra Leaving

1. I slept for about 12 hours today. It is like I have been storing sleep deprivation but gene is out of the box now and I am sleeping like a bear in hibernation

2. Sasha and I got a pair of new shoes each. Mine are pointy-nosed and black, hers are blunt-nosed and black too.

3. "Cozy cellar" project is moving forward, floor is getting painted, new shelves are on the walls and Mr.Alexander rocks.

4. Sasha and I watched Dr. Who "School reunion". It is not Mr.Alexander’s cup of tea, sadly, but I am so glad Sasha enjoying it! "School reunion" ( was very emotional for me, spoilers )

5. "A Feast for Crows" – ( I LOVE IT! )

6. Sasha and I have watched "Corpse bride". It is filled with beautiful music. It is scary and funny, romantic and unusual. I had a "Wow" feeling from the beginning until the end. The atmosphere, the humor, the stunning animation – I adore it all. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are wonderful.

** Thinking about dear winterspel. **

Happy new week to everybody!

I am in a cranky mood because this is THE time I have to make a last effort and do:

• Presentation and Poster for 27 of April to finish my University Project

• Some things at work which I tried to do yesterday and which went terribly slow and somehow wrong

• Plus I just noticed some blood on Sky’s ears after her morning walk in the rain.

• I have almost finished A Storm of Swords ( and )

Good things include:

• I went to the gym this weekend . TWICE

• Ironing is done

• I watched Grey’s Anatomy season 2 and I love Christina. And Burke. And Burke/Christina. Izzie is lovely.

• Stealth Ben's eyes are too blue to be real. It must be contact lenses.

And following from above I must take a week’s break from LJ to do presentations and all such things! Have a nice week everybody! WATCH DOCTOR WHO!!!!!!! See you all after 27 of April! I will be back!

I love how full of wonderful details and beautiful secondary characters "A Song of Ice and Fire" is. I am in a great fascination with Ser Arthur Dayne and his sister Ashara.

My eyes are feeling so much better today!

After work we went to see our friends from church as we usually do on Fridays which always is a lovely way to finish the week.

Then I thought: I should try to find picture of Jaime and Brienne together because they are so beautiful and great together. And because winterspel was talking about reading “A Clash of Kings”.. And I have not found one I found instead that strangely enough Brienne is not very popular in the world of forums, and now i just want more posts of Brienne love from queenofthorns because i am going to love her better then the whole world anyway. There are plenty of pictures of Sandor, but not Brienne, and particular not Jaime/Brienne. **sighs** Why? I know everybody is entitled to their opinion, but i just would love a picture ;)

And because i love making icons i just had to make icon from Michael Komarck’s picture of Jaime sitting on the Iron Throne. And because i have started reading “A Clash of Kings” and this is the book of Jaime! And Brienne, of course! I am not 100 percent happy with the icon, though ;(

I also found beautiful picture of Rhaegar with whom i am in love a little. I think he looks a bit like Heath Ledger. And Heath Ledger is nice. I think I should go and see “Brokeback Mountain” this weekend.

I wish a lovely weekend to everyone! Please tell me if this post is too long , i don't want to be a pest!

Icons are free to share. Please credit Michael Komarck for Jaime's picture and Winterfell website for Rhaegar's if you take them!

Good morning and good day to everybody!

Two days of holidays were great and I am so much looking forward to talk to everybody! Hope everybody had nice time! We are going to Wales tomorrow early morning, because of it this post turned out to be LONG (apologise very much for this)

My holidays highlights:
Beautiful walks in Yorkshire Dales – 1
Freezing picnics -1
Russian pancake suppers- 1
Food eaten – without number
Cashmere top - 1
Books finished – A Game of Thrones

( More thoughts on A Game of Thrones. Very long - it seems I need to get it all out of my chest!SPOILERS! EVEN SOME SPOILERS FOR THE FUTURE BOOKS! )

I have discovered some beautiful pictures of sunsets in Leeds area on flickr by sovietuk. The flickr license of photo sharing allows non-commercial use. I made few icons from sovietuk pictures.

PLEASE, IF YOU TAKE THESE ICONS, GIVE CREDIT TO sovietuk on flickr!!!!!!

I feel like i am going to bore everybody to death soon with my sentiments for "A Game of Thrones" and everybody will be saying – we wish you never opened the book, but :

( Read or miss, it could be not of any interest to anybody )

Still no much of Jaime, but i like his picture anyway. His face - i like how much expression for a "book illustration" it has and all the iconmaking yesterday made me feel slightly haunted by it and his hair - o i have a thing for the way his hair goes. But - does all this slight nonsense talking means i SHOULD go to bed?

O, i really would like to read "Song of Ice and Fire", queenofthorns gives such exceptional recomendations for the book. Fantasy and science fiction have always been my favourite genre .

As soon as i am through with the reserch report for my university project i am going to run to the first "Borders" and buy all four books..

There are some REALLY GREAT illustrations for the "Song of Ice and Fire" , there :
Link for Portraits

Link for Ilustrations

I love this one

All this makes me want to read the book even more
