"The last thing I want to be remembered as is an annoying blabbermouth."
Years ago when I was younger
I kinda’ liked a girl I knew.
It's been a long long time. I am on Facebook and it's a lot of time to manage all these bloody things when I know no one but me will ever see again. Anyhow I just have a great picture of Y that I want to share with me.
Zahlia complained about her teeth on Saturday (2008-01-19). Telling us that each time she chewed she would get a pain. Sylvia had a look and couldn't see anything. I on the other hand have great experience with teeth and how they should and shouldn't look (Sylvia's teeth are perfect). I saw what looked like loose skin over her teeth. It wasn't loose but it was covering up the birth of her adult teeth. Now we wait for the baby ones to fall, our pockets to get fleeced by the Tooth Fairy and then just two more kids.
Speaking of the other one and teeth. Sinead I fear will have to have braces (not that Yindi or Zahlia wont) but Sinead's teeth are a bit funny. Not in a hillbilly kind of way just not growing straight. I suppose another reasons to hate us when she gets older. Ah well.
Sinead's list (she is 2 and 4 months):
Pokemen
Trumpet
Ear
Sticky tape
Eyes
High
As Sinead possessed most of the stuff on her list already she was quiet cheap.
As I walked in the door last night Zahlia proclaimed to all that she had a present for me. She rushed to her hiding place to present this picture she drew for me of Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Suit. I love it
Leave aside Rowlings blatant racism (not one major non-Caucasian role in the seven books, and a smattering of a few Asian characters thrown in) we the people who bought this book deserved something more. The aftermath of the bloody and brutal confrontation with Harry and the Devil which saw some big characters dead, a school in ruins and the wizarding and witches community in disarray isn't in the book. The ending when Harry dies but doesn't die (I am still confused about this by the way) is not gone into in as much detail as is needed and then all of a sudden Harry is married to Ginny, Ron to Hermione. I mean how did we get there. It's just a travesty of an ending that so many have put so much into. Shame Rowlings, shame. You have treated your fans abysmally YET AGAIN.
Have they discovered the human genome for this yet? Is it just females who are affected? I was sitting with the girls while they had dinner last night. I eat a lot faster than them. The main reason for sitting with them is that Sinead is now (and has been for a few months now) the worst eater in the Rothwell house. My attention to their eating habits didn’t improve them anyway. Zahlia even offered me a chip. “No thanks, I’m too full” I told her as I rubbed my tummy. Zahlia then rubbed mine. “You’re fat, you should get the AbKing”. “Anything else wrong?” “You beard looks crap”. “Anything else?” “You’re hair is all messy”. I didn’t ask again.
. Wow, everyone and I mean everyone whether you be Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal needs to read this essay.
. This is about the 3rd book from Bruen I have read in the last year and it appears to be the work of a man who has created what appeared to be a great character but run out of stories and hence the character is dying. Sad. This book has resorted to violence above anything else. The dialogue that was once sharp and sometime funny is very laboured and a trial to read.. A wonderful idea one that I am sure most of us have at one time guessed was happening to us. At Zephyr Holdings, no one seems to know what the company does, no one has seen the CEO, ever, and most of the senior management communication through voice mail. Jones is new to the company (management have decided not to put his full name on his company pass) and wants to get to the bottom of what is is the company he woks for does. 
. Didn't finish it
. Basically Tom Sharpe for the new millennium. . This is a TRILLER. A ripping pace througout that never falters. This is Hughes first book and I have already order his new one from the library.. This is the first Farris book I have read and at first when I finished it I wasnt that taken by it. But know a few days later the book is still with me (a rare occurance) and I keep tinking about it.. A somewhat scary book about the aftermath of one girls life followingr the release from prison of the man who raped her, her father. A continous victim of what happened.. So far so ordinary. My new funniest book of all time. A great story that is laugh-out-loud snot-running-freely from beginning to end. Written in the form of a blog. A wonderful and highly impressive first novel. Nothing ground breaking in it's plot (which I must say is a relief from a debut novelist. Most first novels I read are from authors trying to get their work noticed above others so they try far too hard to write the most 'original' novel. It flirts between adult and 'young reader' ch. . Okay I guess. My new funniest book of all time. A great story that is laugh-out-loud snot-running-freely from beginning to end. Written in the form of a blog. A wonderful and highly impressive first novel. Nothing ground breaking in it's plot (which I must say is a relief from a debut novelist. Most first novels I read are from authors trying to get their work noticed above others so they try far too hard to write the most 'original' novel. It flirts between adult and 'young reader' ch. We have entered the world where it is okay to laugh at and blame fat people for everything. Hooray. Rob Grant [one of the creators of Red Dwarf] gives us his view of what life would be like if being Fat was no longer acceptable. Where government is won on how to best 'help' (or at least take them out of the public eye) people with big bones or glandular problems. As you would expect from the creator of Red Dwarf it is funny a book, but only 1/3 of the it is. The story follows three people. Grenville Roberts [a rather overweight TV chef], Hayleigh Griffin [anorexic] and Jeremy Slank [a PR guy]. The part about Granville is very very funny. Jeremy brings the human touch to the story and what Hayleigh is suppose to add I don't know. She's anorexic. I get it.. Okay I guess. Another glorious Australian debut novel. Billy Fish has a list of reasons to be a smack head and crim. This we find out at the beginning and throughout the story [his abusing father, his drunken mum, foster homes etc]. But the main story is Billy's relationship with his sister through their childhood, separation and Billy's time in and out of prison. The description of Billy's life back in drugs is utterly gripping and real. Wonderful stuff.
. A pornovel. It would appear that Mr Mosley has written a highbrow novel with the sole purpose that it will be made into a prono. No other reason for it. . Life for a Muslim in America after 11/9 . It's not great according to Changez [subtle name] who on leaning of the planes crashing into the World Trade cannot help but "smile". The book can be many things as all books can but my take on it is that the narrator finds an identity [for Lahore, Pakistan and being Muslin] in adversary [like America did for itself after 11/9]. The book starts when the narrator 'happens' upon an American sitting in a Lahore cafe. We don't know who the American man is, why he's there or what his 'mission' is. However the way that Changez talks to him at the beginning and end of each chapter takes on the feel of an adult talking to a child. Good and bad in the book. Read it and find out
We took Zahlia for her first real haircut last night at Yoshiko Hair. She was very well behaved and sat there very quietly with head bowed while the lady went about her work. Upon finishing and letting Zahlia see the results in the mirror, Zahlia's face dropped a few feet. She "didn't want curls. I like it flat." I managed to distract her from throwing a major blowout and she soon got over it. I think she looks cute although it does make her look older than her four years.
Sinead is seen here with her Easter Bunny ears that Mum designed and Daddy cut out. Go Daddy. This is our first glimpse of her hidden superpowers. That clenched fist and bowing head posture is one that Superman or the more forgettable Supergirl would be proud of. Go Sinead
Here is a picture of Yindi enjoying her first meal. They (whoever they are) say that you shouldnt feed a child food [other than milk] who is under 6 months. But that 'recommendation' only come out in the last year or so and after we had already feed Zahlia and Sinead before they where 6 months. She enjoyed it. It stayed down. It's all good.
. From the man who wrote us Jarhead comes this wonderful story of love. A rather soppy ending but the story of Severin Boxx [jock] & Virginia Kindwall [the generals rebellious/idiotic daughter] is still nice and touching and sweet. God did I just write this review.. A rather laborious read with far too much irrelevant descriptions. Again another predictably boring ending that doesn't ring through. Other than that the moaning bitch dies at the end.. Number 8 in the 'No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency' series and just as good as the previous. The focus this time is less on the detective work of the traditional built [read: fat] Precious Ramotswe and but on the people who interact her life.
. In 1870s Australia, botanist Ingrid braves the outback to collect native plant specimens by horse. When she meets Ellyn, who like her is struggling with grief, they forge a deep bond. A delicate tale, of increasing intimacy that may not find acceptance. From mainstream publisher Penguin. This is the blurb from some site about it. Not too bad but I put it down to read something else and nothing about it compelled me to pick it back up.. Short stories. Some good, some okay but none great.. Funny, horrible, drunken, hilarious, vile, sick, hero, slut. You will laugh and laugh a lot even when you read the things that make you want to throw up. Buy it NOW
Here is me at my first day of kinder garden. I love it very much and my teacher Mrs Woolnough is the best in the world.
