    myspace.com and the Dalai Lama

    You never know Sitaram - he may post himself. His curiosity with science and technology is well known and I think he'd enjoy using a tool that is capable of communicating with so many people, from so many places with just the click of a few buttons. Look how many we get to chat with daily just...

    myspace.com and the Dalai Lama

    Sitaram - loved the link. I've been fascinated with this 'man' for a while now. And the philosophy behind budhism is just so very beautiful. So thanks for the link.:)

    Life is good - life is especially good when you get to spend some quality time rummaging through stacks and stacks of books at the local 'friends of the library' monthly sale. Managed to add to my collection: Dan Brown's The Da Vince Code Gravity by Tess Gerritsen The Remains of the Day by...

    You are sooo not alone - I've got 65 books in my tbr stack. Not that I mind having that many to hand but the trials and tribulations of deciding which one to read next is exhausting.

    Opened my mailbox yesterday and lo and behold 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell' were patiently awaiting my pleasure. Now all I need are a couple more bookshelves. Mine are beginning to look a little bogged down - and I do so admire seeing books lined up like little soldiers - back to back -...

    I've always liked the sound of Sri Lanka - especially the 'r' following the 's'. And I love the way SWAMSKI sounds. Er, sorry it's not in a dictionary it's a made up word from my childhood. At least I hope so, she says with a mad rush towards the nearest dictionary:D

    Vladimir Nabokov

    Hey, I'm still here. Still reading Glory. Still in love with Nabokov. Hoping to finally sit down and do some serious reading. Having bid sad farewells to my overseas visitors I'm in great need of a little escapism to get my spirits back up. But first a little snoop around tbf and some...

    What do you do.......

    Hi Denny - looks like the two of us are in the same boat. Isn't it a real drag. I thought I'd enjoy being at home but there's only so much housework, watching tv and, dare I say it, reading that a gal can do. They say the grass is always greener on the other side - how very true.

    Mmm breadcrumbs... Whatever happened to chocolate coated carrots - much tastier even if it's been on the floor - does the 5 second rule apply? Not much progress to report she says as she hangs her head in shame:o Did manage to get in some two-steps and jigs at a celtic festival. And...
