.: so comes snow after fire :.

So, the house is finally warm again. Sakura is back, being all cute and soft, I cleaned up, and I only have the xmas decorations left. I have a bit of a cold, nothing much, but I get tired easily, so the little xmas tree will have to wait. Plus, in the afternoon I'm going to the movies to see Tron, and that's a priority. :D

I'm slowly catching up with all my fandoms. First, the Doctor Who episode was amazing. It made me love Eleven even more, as if that was possible. It was so intriguing, and romantic, and sad. I've already watched it three times.

Yesterday I finished reading Awakened. Really too short, but I loved it anyway. The story is so fascinating, and the final battle was perfect. Also, so romantic. Can't wait for the next one.

I can't believe I have three Primeval episodes waiting to be seen. I also have Megamind waiting. I read some reviews, and it seems a lot more interesting than I thought, and that got me really curious.

I'm feeling better. Yesterday I went to the gym, and I noticed that these nine months paid their due, and I feel a lot stronger. Next monday is the last lesson before the holidays, and I'm worried I will go back to lazy sofa land before September. I'd better ask our teacher for some exercises to do by myself during the summer.

Final Fantasy XIII update! My characters are now at the top in all their roles, so I don't need to level up anymore. Now I'm farming for items, so that I can face the last opponent, Vercingetorix. I only have him left, and that big turtle, the Longui. Go me! \o/

And I know I have a few books waiting on my to-read list, but I couldn't help it and yesterday I started re-reading the House of Night novels. Couldn't help it!

What else? The sun is finally back, so in the afternoon we'll go out for a stroll and some icecream, at last.

Obligatory where-I've-been-hiding post. This week I had my dad's anniversary, and it's eleven years now since he died, so I've been feeling really down. I'm so lucky I have friends who keep supporting and cheering me up, I just don't know what I would do without them.

Tomorrow we're leaving for a short trip on the mountains, and that's so welcome, since the summer is most definitely here, and I need some cool spring weather. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy the warm days are finally here, but it's july all of a sudden, and I want a couple of days of april too. ^^

Other than that, I'm gallopping through my reading list: I just finished Burned, as in twenty minutes ago, so I'm up to date with the House of Night novels, and I'm halfway through Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse. Next, it'll be Memories of a Geisha's turn.

And now, I have some ironing to do, so I better go change in my bikini or something. XD

EDIT: They're doing the Supernatural anime. No, I'm not kidding. This is the craziest, coolest thing I've ever heard. :D

I finally watched Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. First things first: I'm a huge fan of old Burton movies, and I hated or disliked all his recent movies (but the Corpse Bride). So I was being really pessimistic about this one. And then, surprise, I started loving every minute of it. Everything up to the final battle, and then it all fell apart. A wonderful movie with the most clueless final battle sequence ever. And why oh why did they put that horrible dance sequence? Next time I watch this movie I'll just skip that part entirely.

In conclusion: one hour and thirty minutes of the movie? Pure gold. The rest? I'm forcibly trying to forget about it. And yes, I'm going to get the blu ray, and watch those three fourths of the movie over and over again.

And now, a funny question. When does the whole Hatter/Alice ship start? I read the books, watched the cartoon a million times, but it is only recently I find everyone shipping Alice with the Hatter. Don't get me wrong, I loved them here almost as much as I loved them in the SyFy series, but still, I'm really curious about when it all started.

Talking about books, today I was stuck in my doctor's waiting room for two hour and a half. No, I'm not exaggerating. I got there at 4 pm, got out at 6.30 pm. I brought Betrayed, the second book of the House of Night novels, with me to pass the time. Yes, it was even better than the first one. And it made me cry right there in front of all those strangers. I tried to control myself, if I had been alone I would have surely started sobbing, and I acted like I had a terrible cold. I guess it's a compliment to the writers for being so good they made me cry in public, but right now I'm very angry at them. Plus, the next book, Chosen will only get here by monday (I ordered it from Amazon). I'm dying here!

Yesterday we did a whole hour of new weird pilates-ish exercises at the gym. That means, today I feel like somebody punched me in the belly all night long. Luckly yesterday everybody looked devastated, so I don't think we'll do them again. I'm happy it's not my back, though.

This morning I went to the book store and bought all the books in the House Of Night series by P.C. and Kristin Cast. I read the first one a week ago and I loved it, so here I am ready to know what's going to happen next. It's no Anne Rice, but it's a very intriguing story. *_____*

E parlando di libri, oggi è uscito La Ragazza Drago III di Licia Troisi. Acquistato e già divorato, è senza dubbio il migliore della serie. Emozionante, commovente, mi ha preso moltissimo! Peccato che tocchi aspettare un altro anno per il prossimo libro della serie, io qui muoio di curiosità!
