More Easter stuff

[wiseheart]

It's boring and pointless. If you still wanna read it, don't complain afterwards. *g*

Yesterday no self-respecting Catholic - not even the renegade sort like myself - was supposed to eat meat, so I made spinach crépes instead. They were excellent; Mum and I seriously overstuffed ourselves. Not exactly the point in fasting, but who cares?

Today, we absolved the cemetery programme again. It tells a lot of our social life if you consider that the only people we regularly visit are my dead grandparents, eh? We cleaned up the grave a bit and put a big bouquet of tulips on it. It looked very pretty. Really spring-like. So we bought another bouquet for ourselves. It stands in the kitchen now.

We tried the Easter ham for lunch. Even though I accidentally rubbed it with black pepper instead of cumin, it turned out fantastic. Then I hung up the hand-painted eggshells in the entire flat and coloured some eggs for the festive table. We also ate half of my bunny-shaped biscuits, they were delicious.

Tomorrow, more cooking is on the plan, plus I have to finally bake the raisin bread. It's a good thing that I've already finished "Trial Without Error". I wish I had a beta for it, as I suspect I went creative with the frigging English grammar again, but the only person I could ask is busy, and I don't exactly have volunteers standing queue at my front door.

I even went to the atlantis beta LJ community, hoping to find someone, but the self-important people over there are only willing to do certain kind of stories, and my stuff is a)hard to put into any single category, and b) is anti-Sheppard and Kavanagh-friendly - neither of those things are very popular in mainstream fandom.

Oh, and BTW, I finally got to watch "I, Robot" with Will Smith. I wasn't impressed. It seems to me that nowadays everything vaguely connected to sci-fi contains overdone special effects, a lame storyline and bad acting.

There are worse things than "I, Robot", believe me...

Actually, I liked "I, Robot" more than "AI". But well, both can't hold the candle to "Blade Runner", in any case. But then, you at least saw "I, Robot".You did not go to the movies to watch "300", a movie I had been waiting to see for months (since I am big fan of Frank Miller's comic) - only to then spend about two hours waiting for the movie to finally finish so the boredom, th insufferable bad ideaology and the butchering of something I had loved so far would end. Unfortunately, that is exactly how *I* spent that evening. I really wished I had stayed at ho,e and watched "I, Robot" again.

On another note, if you are still into reading LOTR, there is a new story of Jael_beruthiel that is comepletely worth reading: All Lies and Jest, a story that deals with the LACE in an admirable and awesome way. At least IMHO. I can highly recommend it, for yesterday, it really saved my evening. :)

Cheers to you! -- Aislynn

Sounds like you do quite a bit for Easter - it's nice to hear about traditions, especially when barely anyone does much over here. Not being Catholic nor knowing anyone who is strictly one, I had no clue about the not eating meat thing, but then I already don't myself anyway, being semi-vegetarian (only occasional fish).

Regarding I, Robot - did you notice who was doing the voice for VIKI the computer AI?

I'm just tagging onto this entry to ask whether you'd be terribly freaked out if I added you? I come by every once in a while but that seems a terrible bother in comparison to just adding you to my friendslist. ;)

Feel free to tell me to bugger off, of course!
