My dad came today with his presents for us, and my new laptop which actually works, thank heavens, and has a three year warranty which is awesome. It's been behaving the whole time dad had it, and it's behaving now. I called it Gilbert.

Now, on to daddygifts!


  • Family Guy season 7, 8 & 9
  • With the Light volumes 6 & 7
  • Leather bound A5 notebook
  • Everlasting Flower: A History of Korea
  • Korean Gayageum Music by Byungki Hwang (CD)
=w= And that's my Christmas done. We got my dad a blue Star Trek dressing gown between us, which he seemed very pleased with, and I got him an Isaac Asimov book while Amy went the silly route and got him a 'grow your own festive sprouts' kit. xD

We went to my auntie Jo's where we had our usual Boxing Day buffet, I listened to my grandad rattle on about the proposed guided bus route for the millionth time and my nanna and I had a conversation about babies, and the having of them, and she was wonderfully supportive of my lack of a wish to have any, which was really nice. I did hold my cousin Lara for a while, because she is admittedly very cute and such a good baby, but to be honest I was more interested in tormenting my sixteen year old cousin Alex who I've always got along very well with (and playing with the cat). He's looking more and more like my uncle Ian all the time and he's finally taller than I am. Took him long enough :B

Okay, so now I have all of my fun graduation gifts I'm going to show them off - I wanted to wait until I got the one off my dad because it is gorgeous.

Pics and stuff )

So~ I saw Toy Story 3 today, and oh my god, it has officially replaced UP as my favourite Pixar film. Unfortunately the beginning was a little spoiled by some noisy brats who'd snuck into the screen and wouldn't shut the hell up, but they got caught and moved out of the screen and it was much quieter after that.

I shan't talk too much about it for the sake of those who haven't seen it, but I would recommend it wholeheartedly. I nearly cried at the end and I didn't even cry at the end of Moulin Rouge, or The Green Mile. I have no soul (apparently).

It's my mum's 50th on Sunday, and my grandad's 70th on Monday. I'm not so concerned about mum - she keeps saying she's going to be really depressed over it but I don't think she will, she'll just get on with things because she's sensible and that's what she's like. My grandad, however, I am more concerned about. Like my nanna his health isn't the best and hasn't been for a long time. I don't really remember much of him from my childhood but I know that he wasn't always as thin as he is now, and a couple of months ago was the first time that my nanna said that she might not have that long left. I know she's right, she's nearly eighty and it's amazing she's gone on this long, but still, it was a bit of a shock to hear her say it. I suppose when you're young (yeah I'm not a kid anymore bit I'm only 21) you can sometimes forget, especially if you're lucky enough to have never lost a family member like I have been, that people do get old and die, and it's difficult to get my head around the fact that at some point, possibly very soon, either one or both of them isn't going to be around anymore.

Hm.

I'm sure I had more to say here, but I can't remember any of it. Oh well!

Well, yesterday and today, actually, but I just wanted to have some kind of intelligent title.

Yesterday, you might have noticed, I wasn't feeling that great. A large amount of FML was dumped on my head from the moment I woke up and realised that yet again I'd missed uni due to oversleeping. I might have got up and got out of the house for the visit to the Holocaust Museum that I had planned if it hadn't been for my mother coming into my room and giving me a lecture.

All that and more, below the cut. )
