Work inhibits listing, you know

I find it difficult when I'm working to get list stuff done, but I've managed to get a couple of things ticked off!  First, I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  I'm so glad I went back and re-read this series, especially now.  Before, I'd always felt a little cheated by how the series ended, from Dumbledore's death and how it was all destined for Harry to have to sacrifice himself.  Having re-read it now, I understand it all a lot better.  I feel much less... annoyed at Dumbledore.  I love it all again and I'm glad because when I was a kid, I hated having loved it so much, then feeling like I just lost it.  Now, I have that enjoyment all back!  Awesomesauce.

While we're talking about books, I've taken Catch-22 off the list.  I picked it up to read last night and discovered I've read it before and recently too.  I'm not sure how I forgot about it, but when I started reading I remembered pretty much everything that happened, and I don't really fancy reading it again.

Moving on to films, we got Leap Year off of LoveFilm, so I've been able to tick that off too :)  There's a lot of heavy films on there, so you need a little light!  I also wanted to show you my picture from yesterday.  This is a hand-made birthday gift from my Finnish penpal Anna, who is absolutely amazingly creative!  Check it out!


Thank you Anna! :)

Today, as I said, not so much done because of work, but I did update my CV.  I've started job hunting again, so it needed to be done.  At least it meant a tick, and that I could upload my CV to some jobsites.  Cool!  I have a picture from today too.  This is part of the decorative hanging I brought back from the Atacama Desert in Chile.  I love the bright colours.
