The Book Meme

Stolen borrowed from Ash…

One book that changed your life

There are many books that I can say have changed my life, too many to count, but the award goes to in this moment of time to Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. Why? Now because of that book I’ve developed a love for autobiographies and biographies, especially the ones on China and Japan and other interesting regions culturally. (No I hate the celebrity ones.)

One book that you’ve read more than once

Well already mentioned Memoirs of a Geisha..so can’t do that again. Guess Lady Penelope by Lena Kennedy. Though all my books are in a battle for that. Lady Penelope has been read so much that the spine had to be retaped back up and the pages are worn and battered. A very well loved novel.

One book you’d want on a desert island

How to make food out of plants found on a desert island…well I could do without the company of people for a while. People are complicated creatures.

One book that made you laugh

Amy’s Honeymoon by Julia Lleweylln. Oh boy…too funny that you couldn’t put it down. Word of warning: A chick book.

One book that made you cry

Winner is: High Lord by Trudi Canavan

The ending! The ending!!!

One book that you wish had been written

How Ash tried to rule the world…and failed (all in the space of an hour). Would be absolutely hilarious read.

One book that you wish had never been written

Pick any autobiography/biography of any celebrity (ie: David Beckham, Jordan….)

One books you’re currently reading

The Cartoon guide to Chemistry.

Two books you’ve been meaning to read

The Judge and Jury - James Patterson (Brough two years ago from a bookstore, still haven’t read it.)

The Drowning people - Richard Manson (Brought three or four years ago from an author signing thing and still have yet to read it.)

Tea!

First of thank you bucket for the tea Made my mother laugh.

Second is a quote.

If you’re cold, tea will warm you; if you’re too heated, it will cool you; if you’re depressed, it will cheer you; if you’re excited, it will calm you.

Let me say, who ever said that doesn’t know how true it is. 2 cups of tea in 2 hours. Right..

Not again!

Ahhhh. Not another letter from the doctor’s. Turns out one of my tests were slightly abnormal again. My gut feeling is it is the ESR that’s causing the problem. Hopefully they don’t make me repeat the blood test again.

HAPPY SRI LANKAN NEW YEAR.

Now off to convince my mother to make kiri baath (milk rice). Wonder if she’ll be willing to get some kokos for us too.

Anyways…more info on the SL new year. Click here.

Another medical diagnosis

So I went to the hospital again for a check up with a physio specialist in wrist problems. The first time being for an x ray, the second being the above. Anyways, turns out I don’t have RSI but wrist tendonitis in my right hand and the only cure (apparently for me) is a cortisone injection into the area. Yay more injections. She doesn’t know though what causes the stiffness and the fingers locking. Ah well…maybe all will be told in time.

New sub blog

Right..now I know you’re wondering about the title, but I’ve found the site tumblr and discovered it’s a good picture blog for me. If you’re looking for the link, it’s: http://sha.tumblr.com

What I am going to do is keep this as my main blog, but when I add photos, add it to tumblr and then link it here. Big posts are going to be done here because of the pain of typing long posts in tumblr in that layout (though I love it).

So here’s for the first one: http://sha.tumblr.com/post/30933727
