Suzanne Collins “The Hunger Games”

posted on June 18th, 2010 in reading matter [no comments]

I just finished reading the first part in Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy today. And, considering I have read 54 books already this year (several of which I liked quite a lot), it says something that this one was the one that blew me away enough to post it here.
Funnily, it had an [...]

More fun in the garden

posted on May 2nd, 2010 in gardening, photos [one comment]

Spring has finally gotten a move on over here and when I prowl through our garden there is something new to see every day. I must have shot a couple thousand photos this year already – too lazy to count them right now, but there have been over 300 today alone.
Of course, many of them [...]

So I’ve got a new obsession.

Now, in the last 3 days since I published [...]

Books, books, and even more books

I have read 115 books last year. When I went through my list and tried to come up with a Top Ten list of the ones I enjoyed the most it was just as hard as every year. The ones that jumped at me first (Stephen King’s Dark Tower series) would have taken up 7 [...]

Rambling

Did anybody notice that it has been very quiet here for months?
Just me then, all right.
I’m sad to say I pretty much lost my drive for keeping this blog updated lately. I just couldn’t think of anything to write anymore.
I am blaming all the professional bloggers and their “how to make money blogging” posts for [...]
