+ EEEEEEE! I have gotten a new computer at work and it has big LCD screen and it is lovely! Even better – I can take the old one home (we are allowed :) for the "Staff Development Purposes". EEEE!

+ Sasha has joined the school choir!!! She also lost her front baby teeth! She has been waiting for this event for ages because she wants to go and learn a brass instrument in the local brass band, and they only take children when their front adult teeth are grown.

+ OK – this is embarrassing but Sasha still sucks her thumb and I don’t really know what to do to get her out of the habit. She is doing it much much less now , but still. I explained to her that her teeth will grow crooked but it doesn’t help completely. The thing I think – WILL THEY GROW CROOOKED or not?

+ Prison Break thoughts )

+ This article I came across during the lunch break and it disturbed me a little: Swiss organisation, Dignitas, is asking the Swiss Supreme court to allow a change in the law and allow depressed people access to barbiturates without the need for a prescription with the purpose of committing suicide. But shouldn’t depressed people receive treatment? Is the suicide a really valid exit for someone who is disturbed mentally? And what if they will fell better after they receive treatment?. I don’t understand.

+ I am trying to get myself out of the Jerry Yan/Meteor Garden mood by downloading "Silence" (Thank you very much [livejournal.com profile] dangermousie. But I keep having flash-backs and an intense desire to watch the new Taiwanese drama with Jerry, The Hospital/White Tower My problem is that I can’t find any subtitles for this drama (or even episode scripts) so I just resort to looking at the pretty pictures :

Two pictures from The Hospital (taken from soompi forums) )

+ I really really want to go and see Pedro Amodovar’s film "Volver" this weekend. I love Amodovar and the film sounds really good!!!
Gorgeous picture from Volver )

+ EEEEEEEEEE! I am so much looking forward to "Jane Eyre" this weekend too!!!

+ 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.

+Army in the Shadows: I watched it on Tuesday in “Bradford National museum of film and television”. I think that it is a truly outstanding film. Made by the famous French director Jean-Pierre Melville, it has many amazing actors in the cast. Film tells the story of the French Resistance during the Second World War. The story is given in all it’s truth of day-to-day work, terror, betrayal and many hard decisions. It is definitely the best film I have seen about the French Resistance.

It is one of the films where it is difficult to tell which actor made the biggest impact. They all are absolutely awesome. If I must choose, I would say that Lino Ventura (playing the main character Philippe Gerbier) and Jean-Pierre Cassel (Jean François Jardie).

+Lino Ventura has terrific screen presence. He is all authority and can be called burly. Well, I think he is burly.

DVD cover for Army in the Shadows with Lino Ventura )

+Jean-Pierre Cassel is the father of one of my current favourites , Vincent Cassel. Jean-Pierre Cassel is just soooooooo attractive.

Smiling Jean-Pierre Cassel. I am in love. Again. )

+Earth and Fire: I am getting both of these wonderful films from Blockbuster on-line. May be they are already at home! Yay!!!!!!!! I am really really excited about watching these films. I have heard so much about they recently! Yay again!!!!

I also realised that Earth/Fire/Water thrilogy’s director is Deepa Mentha. I saw her absolutely adorable film “Bollywood/Hollywood”. YAY!!!
This is why I used this icon. I am not sure yet if it is finished, but !!!!!!!

+Prison Break: could be spoilers )

+Great weather Weather is absolutely wonderful today. The warmest day of the year. I am going to put my new summer shoes (three pairs acquired during the last month)

+Meme [livejournal.com profile] realtanala tagged me with "My 5 weird habbits" meme. Here they are, hidden away!! )
