A Day in the Life – April, 2012

The guys at Chase The Light run a project called ‘A Day in the Life’, which have been running every year since 2003. The rules are simple: Take a picture every hour (or whenever you can) for one day to show what your day is like, and then post them up! I found out about this project not too long ago, so I decided to do it this year!

A Friend’s Birthday

I love writing, and reading, and watching stuff, listening to music, maybe even taking public transport. But there is something about hanging out with friends and doing random stuff that gives a kind of joy you can’t get on your own.

Chasing Stuff – like Dreams

Oh my god… it’s been 16 days since I last blogged? I swear I blogged last Monday.

Between profiles and dentists

So I haven’t been blogging much lately. I have to say that sucks, but I haven’t been much in the mood to write. I haven’t even been reading that much. The Great Book Quest two weeks ago, and the multiple times I’ve gone out with friends or for other reasons have taken some of the energy I had late last month.

SMASH!, Harry Potter and Airports.

I think that’s real… I think that’s an official trailer… whoa.

Ahem, yeah, hi. So much for writing seven posts, seven days straight, all about books eh? I didn’t even get to Friday. Oh well, I’ll write/post the price tags post sometime… Not sure when haha. I would do it soon, but I don’t want to write a book-related post so soon after The Great Book Quest of 2012. The last few days have reminded that, as amazing as books are, there are still many things in life. And so, this post comes to you in three parts!¹

The Great Book Quest of 2012, Part 2

Beautiful flowers outside of QVB

So last time, I was telling you how I was trying to decide which of Maureen Johnson’s books when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw some books by my favourite writer. Not only that, but they were also signed! So who was this mysterious writer?

The Great Book Quest of 2012, Part 1

It's not about towns made of paper. That would be cool though...

A few weeks ago, I made a promise ( “I’m not buying anything else until the end of February”) after spending more than $50 on books. Since I still don’t have a (paying) job, I decided it would be better if I don’t spend too much money. Unfortunately, in order to fight boredom, I decided to break that promise and buy more books today.
