Mum and I went to watch Mission Impossible 3 together. It is a good movie, and I am glad that I went to watch it on the big screen. The storyline is unexpected, and I was on the edge of my seat when Tom Cruise slid down the top of a building and finally came to a holt at the edge. You can't help but draw a comparison between MI3 and Da Vinci Code, and I reckon MI3 is better.
We took the grey car for a warrant of fitness check, then spent the rest of the day walking and window shopping in city. We bought four different coloured face clothes and a tiny skirt with Disney characters printed at the front for my newly acquired bear. The bear is knitted by wool, and now it is even more cuddly. My head was hurting last night and I was sneezing. Fortunately after wearing more sensible clothes and wooly hat for one evening, I am back to my healthy self.
I trimmed the grass at the edge of our garden today, and dealt with cherry leaves at the front of the yard. The weather is cold and crisp today, but at least it is not raining.
There are still heaps of things out there for me to do. I will get on with the cleaning and trimming grass tomorrow. Just wish the weather will hold.

As brave as Indiana Jones
You have to be as brave as Indiana Jones to be in this room: it is freezing! I know all you people out there who lives in a colder climate will complain to me that I am exagerating the situation, but we do not have a central heating system installed in houses here in New Zealand. Most homes only have one heating source in one room, and people who stays in other rooms, sorry, you have to wear bulky jerseys and thick socks to keep warm.
This winter we are better prepared. I now have a nice and warm electrical blanket under my duvet, and three more layers on top of me if I am sleeping (one sheet, one wool blanket, and one wool duvet).
The construction of houses in our general area is still going on. The various machines are making a racket as I type. Don't know when they will stop. I receive another letter from the realtors today!
The junior doctor may go on strike for five days sometime in the near future. Just hope that I don't get the flu in due course. I am getting used to the cold now.
The episode of "Bones" was particularly interesting last night. There seems to be some on-screen romance going on there and a very sentimental story line. I will keep on watching, I guess that's how the TV shows hook you on these days.

Da Vinci Code and all the things that happened
Fuzzy and I went to watch The Da Vinci Code together. Sophie's driving skill is superb, and the whole movie is amazing. I like it, and it is based on a "fiction", which means it does not base on facts. I like the paintings in Louve because they have been arranged in a great order. The story is fast paced and not jumping from frame to frame too fast.
I have finally managed to write the above "musing" on computer today after the busy weekend. Something unfortunate has happened at our house, but the fortunate thing is that everybody is okay. I have also managed to arrange everything in my room in a desirable order. Whew! The weather has changed from very cold and wet to sunny/not so cold to wet/not so cold now. Winter is almost here, but it seems after the first cold snap, I am getting used to the cold! The Met service person has said that this winter will probably be colder than the last.
I am reading a book called Ichabad Hart and the Lighthouse Mystery. It is written by James Roy for teenagers, although I am no longer a teenager, the book cover attracted my attention. A good book is the best pass time for a rainy day.
Still tracking down that elusive permanent job, but that also mean that I can spend some time with my family. This winter does not seem so cold after all.

Dr. Jack Dr. Jack calling Dr. Jack
I think I am hooked on the Dr. Black Jack cartoon. It is a series about a surgical doctor who practice without license. He is rumoured to be cold-blooded and love money, but in fact is a very loving and amazing doctor. I have read some of the work already.
The weather is great today, and when dad is out getting the interview, I watered the plants. University students go back to study from today so Fuzzy is not home. I spent the rest of the day reading.
We have all voted for the two issues: water fluoridation and the way we vote (either First Pass the Post or Single Transferrable Vote). Just wait while those votes are being counted and see how things turn out.
President Bush had made fun of himself in a State dinner. I think this will help his popularity.

Another strange dream
It has been raining for a few days so we are stuck indoors, and I have managed to read one of the two fictions that I borrowed from the city library. However, the weather is great today so mum and I went out shopping.
I have sent out another CV to a beverage/food company, still full of hope and expectation. Dad get the reply from the forklift maintenance job that he applied and will go for an interview tomorrow. Good luck to both of us!
These few weeks we have been watching Shakespearean movies that had been given the modern twist. First up was Taming of the Shrew, then came Much Ado about Nothing (with the very different Lt. Winters from Band of Brothers: very funny), and this week we can watch A Midsummer Night's Dream. The other channel will play The Last Sumarai! Why do they always put the interesting movies on the same night? Why can't they put on on Saturday and the other on Sunday so we can watch them both? AAAhhhh....
Fuzzy and I also went to watch She's the man the other day. It's very funny, and Amanda Bynes is getting better now.
I had a strange dream last night. There was this guy in university asking for direction in the evening, and I took him to the lecture theatre, but when we get there, it looks like the interior of the person's house. The outside is filled with deep blue sea water and I can feel the tide coming in, very scary. I can even see people surfing towards the building. Weird, huh?
