Sorry it took me so long to respond. If I could figure out how to get a picture on here, I'd show you. It has a gold band and 3 types of flowers - purple & yellow pansies, pink roses, and a blue & white flower I can't identify. The saucer has 12 flowers on it. Sorry I don't know the name of the pattern, but the company seems to be Crown Staffordshire.

I bought 2 Christmas Trees yesterday. I put one up last night, and the other is in water on my balcony. When this one dies, I'll bring in the outside one. This way I can have a tree up for 6 weeks!

New book..

Soccernomics: Why England Loses, Why Germany and Brazil Win, and Why the U.S., Japan, Australia, Turkey--and Even Iraq--Are Destined to Become the Kings of the Worlds Most Popular Sport

Look forward to reading after I finish Under the Dome.. eventually.

I bought a laptp today. I shouldn't have, but it was on sale. And I need to take my desktop in to be fixed (a blue screen error every couple of days, sometimes twice in a day) and I just couldn't bear to be without a computer for however long it takes to fix it.

Let the Right One In. I haven't read the book yet but if the movie is good I'll definitely consider. Also got some Lindor white chocolate truffles.. oh lordy yes.

And got my GPS from amazon.

Uh, you bought a Swedish movie?!
Maybe I have to take a look at that one then, been hearing some good things about it, but I am always doubtful when it comes to Swedish movies, most suck

Whenever possible, I certainly recommend watching the movie before you read the book. The book is basically necessarily better than the movie. If you watch the movie first, then the book is a pleasant expansion of the book. If you read the book first, then the movie wall almost always be lacking. At least that's what I think.

Watched it, loved it. I had the English dubs on though, so I imagine the original audio track with subtitles will be even better. Also, they're making an American version of it. Hopefully they take could care of it.

The lone exception I can think of is Requiem for a Dream. I really think the movie actually packs a more powerful emotional punch than the book does.
