Back to Childhood
The perfect way to finish a perfect week is getting an energizing foot massage thanks to my hubby who gave me a gift certificate. I had used part of it a couple of months ago to get a facial and last night I went to get my feet energized... Mmmm, so good! Today I'm taking it easy and I decided to go back to childhood, so I went and rented Disney's Hercules, Disney's Tarzan and The Wizard of Oz from the local video club. It's rainy and humid and I'm enjoying the cool weather in my living room while the DVD player works over-time. That's how my life is going this weekend. What about yours?
Genetic Good-Bye
Francis H. C. Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, the genetic blueprint for life, and the leading molecular biologist of his age, died on Wednesday night in a hospital in San Diego. He was 88. The scientific community wouldn't be what it is now without his amazing work. Thank you, Dr. Crick.
LTNS, huh?
That means Long Time, No See. Yeah... I've been busy. Well, not exactly busy, but doing stuff and there hasn't been much motivation to get online or post in the weblog. But here I am, with a little weekly report, after my absolutely fantastic Anniversary Weekend. Thank you for all the nice comments, we did have a great time, dinner at my favorite restaurant, movies, house gifts, personal gifts, etc. I'm not feeling particularly good with words today to give the details, though. 5 years is a nice number, I love my hubby.
This week my bookshelf is 8 books bigger than last week. Yeah, don't ask me... between gifts and rewards programmes I made at least 4 stops at the bookstore without spending a single dollar. In fact, I just arrived from the West Island, where I ventured to go after a long time and I'm really happy I went, the Chapters in Pointe-Claire has a wonderful selection of books and with the prices they have, you can go absolutely nuts. I just have to find the time to read all the goodies before getting busy with school.
Speaking about school, today I went to pick up the application forms for financial aid and I guess that's how the rest of the week will go, reading the "big romance" about how to get some money for my studies. I can't believe than in about a month I'll be a student again. Kind of exciting, kind of scary, kind of wonderful. Meanwhile, there's another control MRI to undergo, visit to the Ophtalmo and life goes on. Hope you all are having a great time as well. TTFN.
How deep is your blog?
I was just reading one of the weblogs in my blogroll and something caught my attention. The person, a woman, stated that sometimes she wishes she could talk about meaningful stuff without boring the readers, stuff that also could cause controversy. I know how that feels; sometimes I just look at this page and think "Gawd, how boring...", since I'm not really happy about the usual "I ate a granola bar for breakfast" kind of entry. But I've noticed that the more I keep myself from sharing my thoughts online, the more trivial my weblog becomes. Gone are the days of heated discussions about the Middle East crisis because I got tired of pissing people off because that would piss ME off as well. Mature not? I just couldn't handle all the hate and the stupid reactions I saw sometimes. The problem is, I feel I'm not contributing at all. It will pass, I know...
Meanwhile, I found this Blog Survey at Girl Wonder's and I thought I could at least share the link to an interesting weblog-related web page.
