Then, it was silent...

It has been a long time since we last met. To be honest, it was expected of me. I know. So what have I been doing? Here is the list of things you might have missed..

Movie reviews

Hi readers,


I am wondering what you would think about it, if I would be making movie reviews - also on YouTube. It is because I have almost 300 DVD's and I have not seen them all. But I'm still thinking about the W's


Why - What - When - Where 


So I can make them go by genre or by alphabet. Or a two in one which I could perhaps do with some remakes, for example; Romeo and Juliet from 1963 and Romeo + Juliet from 1996, or another example to do it by creator; like all the movies from Tim Burton - or all the Disney Pixar movies I have in my collection. But it might get a long, boring video review. Still have to think about it all and come up with a concept plan.

The organisation of the DVD collection

My dear readers,


This is the second update in the new year. So a few days ago I decided to organize my DVDs. And you may be thinking, that's not so hard. Well, to be honest, it is for me. I have almost 260 DVDs. No, maybe more, I've not checked everywhere, but they where all stacked neatly in cabinets made for them and a gigantic closet. But every time I searched for one, I could not find it. The longest search I had was about an hour and I was looking for a Harry Potter. So now, I have decided to organize my DVD collection. And I did it as this. I first took out all the DVD's. Saw if the boxes where filled (which where not in 12 of the cases) and then wrote them down in Excel. 


Then I decided what genre I wanted to put them in. You see if you have a movie like Harry Potter, what genre would it fit? Well, It would fit Drama, Fantasy, Family and Romance. But I put them in Fantasy and in stead of writing down for example; Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I wrote Harry Potter 1, Harry Potter 2, Harry Potter 3 etc. and for the last two movies I did Harry Potter 7.1 and Harry Potter 7.2. 


Not only will this make it easier for me to find out where I've hidden away my movies, it will make it easier for my friends and family to search one out, when they are here, if I told them; "Well, there is the romance section, and over here, that's horror." And if they did want to borrow one, well, I would write their names on the excel list, so I would know which person has which movie! It's easy. Maybe I will even make pictures and show them to you. Can't promise, but it is something I am very proud of.

Driving home from the parking lot

I have been driving today. Not far and not even in a real car - but it was very much fun to do. My friend, R. has a car that can only go 45 kmph - and he let me drive a round around the parking lot at our back. He's my neighbor from 4 up. We had C.'s dog Freddie and my dog Princess in the back of the car and the nerve's where spiraling out of control. But I did it. I drove! It felt amazing and it wasn't even illegal. He told me I could 'practice' driving in his car until I was going to start up for my real driver's licence. And actually there is not much more to note to you right now. Except for the fact i'm still pretty mad at Dave (my "boyfriend") for not calling me and not responding to any of my text' or calls.


Love,

P.s. it's cold in here.
