Stopping by

My, the year is drawing to a close already! Passed me by so quickly that i barely got a chance at collating the takes here. Oh, well...

It rained today.

Last night it were just drizzles. Mr jones and i went to the aquatic park and looked at boats, ferries and ships, abandoned jailhouses, pretty towers and outnumbered swimmers. Someday i will swim there, i promise, with or without a wetsuit! That reminds me, that mischevious brat mr. jones tricked me into going into the store Patagonia en route to the park, hmph! But it was almost a perfect evening, i shall say! Intermixed with some killer chicken that i made and the film "requiem for a dream", and then something something! Oops, my lips are sealed...:-p

But i digress.

It was a hectic year. So i am proud to say that i did find time to do quite a bit of reading, starting with "The glass palace" (Informative), followed by "The picture of Dorian Gray" (Loved it!), "The fountainhead" (hmm! the hmm prolongs, i will let you know when it ends), "Sea of poppies" (Intriguing), "The metamorphosis" (Though-provoking), "Freedom at midnight" (Informative and an interesting take), "Sons and lovers" (#rated 1 so far just cause!), along with some other short stories by DHL. Currently it is "The brothers Karamazov" that i am on...recommended by mr. jones. Hmm, i realize that we do it a lot, read books suggested/read by the other, perhaps just so we can have a tumultuous debate, hehe.

Oh darn, look how long this post took me away from my first first draft (of my sabbatical research paper)! Off i go then, au revoir, sois-sage!
