Month: September 2009
Be grateful, dear.:)
I’ve got three colleagues in my department who all also had newborns within the space of 6 months from Hannah’s birth. It’s quite evenly spread out: two of my colleagues had boys, and the third colleague had a baby girl
Duplicity
Duplicity (2009) – on rental. I know a lot of film goers like watching Julia Roberts. She was a relative unknown until her breakout role as a hooker with a good heart in 1990’s Pretty Woman, winning a deserved Golden
Keeping An Eye
When I’m at home rarely a day goes by where I don’t visit technology related sites at least several times a day. There’re a couple of identical sites that I’ve got on my Bookmark Menu on each of my desktops

日本へようこそ
“Welcome to Japan” Ling has had a fascination with visiting Hokkaido for ages now on account of the amazing flower blooms they’ve got each season. I’ve technically been to Japan before – but only in Transit and at Narita Airport,
Serenity and Firefly – Part 2
