Renew hope

The weather is better today so in the morning we bring the DVD back to the video shop, then go to our friend's house to pick feijous. Those feijous are great green fruit, nice and sweet. It is a fruit that you can enjoy before winter comes.
Dad takes the old gooseberry plant out of the vegetable garden today and we are left with heaps of gooseberry in their pods. They are nice fruit as well. I like them, but like all food, you cannot have too much.
We watch Sin City in the afternoon. It is a very graphic film, a dystopia city where wrong things happen and nobody uphold the law. There's a lot of killing. The imagery is very comic-book-like. Personally, I don't really like it. Pure, the other DVD we watched tonight, is about a young boy who helped his mum to quit her addiction. It is a very reflective movie, and more positive. I like this movie better.
Contemplating about applying for a job. It is not easy. I will think about it, then send my CV. Let them decide.

Follow the Easter Bunny to Garden State

This Easter holiday we kind of stayed in most of the time, but the time that we spent out was great. Fuzzy and I went shopping together in Chartwell Square and in The Base, the new mall that opened in the north of the city.
I saw a really pretty sweater made of mohair in Chartwell, but I didn't buy it because you can't wash it in the washing machine. It requires special care. Fuzzy bought a pair of really pretty shoes. We chose a dark blue shower curtain with water drop pattern on it. It is pretty and hanging in our bathroom right now. It can be washed (easy cleaning), it is not made of plastic, and I will try using it tonight.
We went to Burger King and both had Whopper meal there. A great dinner. We drove home and forgot to get DVDs for the rainy days, then left home again to pick them up.
This time we chose National Treasure, The Mindhunters, Garden State, Sin City, The Sisterhood of Travelling Pants, and Pure. We watched The Sisterhood of Travelling Pants yesterday. It is such a nice film! The four girls are unique in their own way, and the young girl Bailey's part is a real tear jerker.
Garden State is a beautiful film. I like the soul searching and the music. Mindhunter is quite weird, and scary at times.
I have also borrowed two books from the library to read today. It had been raining, and some people had come to check out the house next door. Wondering when they will sell and develop the small piece of paradise into another concrete monster.
