A story about "Lord Valentine's Castle (Majipoor Cycle)" — 2 days ago

Ugh, I liked the main character less and less as the story progressed. Somehow I don’t see myself reading other books in this series!

A story about "The Big Sister's Guide to the World of Work: The Inside Rules Every Working Girl Must Know" — 2 weeks ago

This is the second time I’m reading this book. Just like the first time, my (work-related) motivation has gone up as soon as I started reading this. It’s a wonderful, wonderful book that I can’t recommend enough. It has lots of practical advice and many of those silly “duh” things that you learn through your own mistakes. I wish I could’ve read this when I just started working! And I wish I could make every girl in my office read it too, so I could work in a more pleasant environment. ;)

A story about "Sex and the City (Movie) [Theatrical Release]" — 6 weeks ago

Let’s for a moment forget the fact that this movie is basically a 2-and-a-half hours long advertisement for all kinds of stuff and the consumer-oriented lifestyle. (Let’s also forget the sometimes hideous fashion choices.) The basic message of the movie is to be yourself, be a good friend, and listen to your heart. I can’t find any faults with that.

A story about "The Four-Day Win: End Your Diet War and Achieve Thinner Peace" — 9 weeks ago

An interesting book. It helped me to:
  1. realize I’m usually (over)eating when bored – heh, time to stir things up at work, I guess… I can’t keep consuming 80% of my daily calorie intake in the 8 hours I’m at work :P
  2. discover that yes, I have a major case of “famine brain”, but I can overcome my cravings with an atmosphere of abundance
       2.1 while learning about my famine brain, discover that I can live for days, even weeks, maybe even months? with a whole bag of Snickers bars in my cupboard without scarfing them down (trust me, this is big)
  3. discover that my body is indeed a scared, scarred, wary prey animal – case in point: today I started eating chocolate as soon as I thought about losing some weight before summer, and I stopped eating as soon as I realized I don’t have to give up any favorite foods, just eat a little better/smarter
  4. think more about non-food nourishment – inspired by entries here, I’ve made a list of 100 things that make me happy, besides money and food – so now when my body goes “candy! candy! candy!”, I can go “hey, lookie here”, and my body goes “oooh pretty” and forgets about candy ;)
  5. pay more attention to my body and stress levels – sometimes you just have to spend a weekend in bed with a book or just listening to the rain

I can’t say it magically transformed my life forever, but it made me aware of some things, and that’s all I ask from the books I read. :)

A story about "Baby Face" — 10 weeks ago

Ok, it removes makeup, it leaves my skin feeling very soft, but, unfortunately, my skin doesn’t really like it (and keeps giving me the message through breakouts).

A story about "Imperialis" — 10 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

My verdict: oh yes! People have complained about the smell and the texture. Ok, it has a certain smell that not everyone is going to like. I call it “old-lady smell”, although that’s neither correct nor nice. :P But it does remind me of my great-grandma, and I loved my great-grandma, so I like the smell. :) The texture is really runny, a lot more than what I’m accustomed to with creams, but, like the smell, I like this. It makes it easier to spread around.

A story about "Angels on Bare Skin" — 10 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

Wow, I love this stuff! It smells nice, it leaves my skin all soft and smooth, and it kind of reminds me of cookies, which is never a bad thing. ;) I’m only worried if it’s too much for daily use on my (rather sensitive) skin, so I try not to overdo it.

A story about "Sweetie Pie" — 13 weeks ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

Hm, this feels more like rubber than jelly, I’m afraid. On the up side, it smells lovely and the piece I have will probably last me an eternity.

A story about "I Am Legend" — 27 weeks ago

Bleh, they should’ve kept the original ending. This is just sooooo Hollywood.

A story about "Krynology" — 32 weeks ago

It is, in fact, entirely possible that I’m going crazy. But then, I have always admired musicians with a sense of humor.
