It is getting colder and colder every day. I've filled up the new drawers with winter clothes. It makes me feel so happy that maybe I don't have to keep my winter/summer clothes in the closet anymore since there's a lot of space in the new drawers now. I felt very motivated today since yesterday was a bit slow. I managed to hang up the washing on the line, taking advantage of the nice weather, and took all the clothes in from the garage. Theo and I put them on the line before leaving for the holiday in Whitianga on Friday, and now it's definitely dry.
There was no milk in the fridge yesterday, but now there are two bottles. It's always good to open the fridge after going to the supermarket. The berry cereal is almost finished today, thankfully I've got two bags of new muesli cereal.
I've made some progress in reading EVE. The book is about eveonline the game. Considering it's based on a game, the book is pretty interesting to read. Space is the final frontier of humanity, and you find humanity in the space. What will the future be like? It looks pretty grim from the book's point of view. However, it is a game where you become a capsueller, clones from a human lord/god/powerful people. I guess this is where you get your 2nd/3rd/nth life from? Can you choose to be the one who gets beaten up in the beginning of the book? Can you choose to be the Queen? I don't know, but that's not the important point. The point of the book is to entertain, and dramatise the situation.
I always look forward to the lunch in Grillers in town. They make great burgers. I try to change my choice every time I go there, trying out different beef burgers from the menu or the burger on the blackboard, in another word, anything that's on offer in Grillers.
After the feed, I finally managed to drop off the books that Fuzzy wanted and took a walk with Fuzzy and mum in town. It's nice to talk and shop together. I gave mum her Mother's Day card first. It's a card that I made with Patrice. I really like the card even though there's some discoloration on the envelope. We went to the Fabric warehouse and looked at wedding fabrics there. Mum reckoned that she will go back to Taiwan when granddad is 100 years old, or when he pass away, whichever comes first. It's a fact of life that old people die, and granddad is 94 years old. Mum is probably going to take her satin fabric back so she can make a dress out of it.
We then went to Salvation Army to look for a jersey for dad, but no luck there. Abode is closing down and I got a nice bangle from there. Things are still quite expensive, and most nice stuff are already gone. I guess they have been bought already. The Abode shop has been in Hamilton for years, it was there when we came, which must mean that it's more than 13 years old.
I got feijoas, red bean cake, and some meatballs from mum. We still haven't eaten dinner now, guess I should put something out.
I went to Ironman 2 the other day. The beginning of the movie is focused on Stark Expo that lasts for the whole year. Ironman flies onto the stage and was accompanied by a bunch of beautiful girls. It's outrageous. It's flash. It's something that you would expect Ironman to do, and the villain Whiplash is great, too. Tall, check. Strong, check. Russian, check (the non-translated Russian in the movie are great, but the accent wasn't so convincing). Messy hair, check. Whips charged by electricity, check. Revenge, check. Black Widow is impressive as well, although I hope that Scarlett is in this movie longer than just a few action sequences, though. She has so much potential! It was too short!
