An Appropriate poem; for me anyway:
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except me and my spouse
The stockings were empty, no presents were wrapped
We were way behind schedule and our resources tapped
The children were nestled all...
Merry Christmas already then. We've got a few hours to go yet.
Just got the two kids to bed and relaxing with some nice food and a few glasses of good red wine; bliss.
Merry Christmas where ever you are; best wishes for the new year.
Peace.:) :D
Thanks very much. I'm not sure I should be celebrating though as I was the big four 'o' . Though they do say life is supposed to begin at 40.
We had a great night out with 16 friends and family at an Italian restaurant. Very nice evening.:)
I notice The Crying of Lot 49. Is that a warm up for Gravitys Rainbow or have you already read that one?
I read Lot 49 and Vineland but I'm a bit wary of GR. It's sitting there alongside War and Peace, taunting me.
I got given a couple of years ago one which isn't on his list of books. It's called City of God published in 2000 I think. My brother-in-law, who did a couple of years in the US studying literature says it's his favourite book; well it was two years ago. I've read it twice and still haven't seen...
Everything is Illuminated after the first 1/3 perhaps.
Oh yeah, talking about crap did anyone in the UK catch QI tonight; Stephen Fry's description of The Da Vinci Code; "Loose stool water and arse gravy of the worst kind."
I think Stewart would have approved;)
I think TV and video can be used as a supplement. My seven year old has always been interested in books from an early age as I've tried to read to him as much as possible; we've worked our way through all the Cronicles of Narnia and are now on Roald Dahl one of which he has read aloud to me...
Last;Van Morrison. Next;Bloodbrothers-Willy Russell. I know it's not really a gig but we love it. It's the fourth time I think. Try my hardest not to cry every time.
I won an I-pod mini at a works raffle last year. It's something I never would have thought of buying because of the price. It certainly is an impressive piece of kit though. The sound is incredible and I also use it as a portable hard disc.
It could be a picture of someone else though. I always pictured Stewart to be slightly older and wiser looking, if you know what I mean:confused:
I don't like to see pictures of people on forums; it's a bit like when you see a film of a book and the mental picture you have of a person is...
