I got me a new phone last week. It’s one of those terribly pretty looking slim and sleek bar ones with all the usual fun stuff.

And I’m proud to say that an entire week went by before I dropped it for the firstest time ever. Face down too, right onto the still plastic film covered screen. It slipped out of the equally slim and sleek and terribly pretty pouch I picked up for it. Exactly one week! The second fall happened today, although within pouch.

Life is clearly back to normal.:o

This year... there was travel, moving, job switches, weddings, buys, books, food, movies.

Just another year after all:)

Early this year, I gave in to a huge impulse and bought a calendar:) So I figured a nice way to sign the year off would be to share the goodness of Alan Lee and Tolkien!

I wonder if I’ll give in to the 2008 Children of Hurin calendar now... I’ve avoided the book because I know it’ll be depressing, but... *sigh*

At Blossom yesterday...

My first post this year was supposed to spout eloquent nonsense along the best of years, worst of years line, complete with a pretty little 2006 collage. But I'm lazy.

Instead, we inaugurate the year with the following:

Re. this post - I am weak. The calendar is mine now. I gave in and bought it, atrocious price and all. It is my gift to me. And it's sooo beautiful. It's still sinking in that I own it now.


I love Landmark. It's the bestest bookshop ever. No one else stocked this calendar. For that matter no one in San Jose in California (and potential source of a free calendar via generous cousin) seemed to have it either.

But I do now.

Yay!

In other stuff, I'm going to Tranquebar tomorrow.

...this is what I would buy. OMG .
