Ray Bradbury (August 22, 1920 – June 5, 2012)

Yesterday was information that died one of the most talented writers Ray Bradbury. He was 91.It's great loss.

His official site HERE

His book "The Martian Chronicles" has for now only one adaptation in 1980 as TV series. You can read it HERE on IMDB. There are plans for another adaptation in 2013, but more info is only for subscribers HERE . Eh... You know who I'll see in one of the characters. They have birthdays in this same day. Maybe this is sign?

Her husband appeared in a triangular door. “Did you call?” he asked irritably.

“No!” she cried.

“I thought I heard you cry out.”

“Did I? I was almost asleep and had a dream!”

“In the daytime? You don’t often do that.”

She sat as if struck in the face by the dream. “How strange, how very strange,” she murmured. “The dream.”

“Oh?” He evidently wished to return to his book.

“I dreamed about a man.”

“A man?”

“A tall man, six feet one inch tall.”

“How absurd; a giant, a misshapen giant.”

“Somehow”—she tried the words—“he looked all right. In spite of being tall. And he had—oh, I know you’ll think it silly—he had blue eyes!”

“Blue eyes! Gods!” cried Mr. K. “What’ll you dream next? I suppose he had black hair?”

“How did you guess?” She was excited.

“I picked the most unlikely color,” he replied coldly.

“Well, black it was!” she cried. “And he had a very white skin; oh, he was most unusual! He was dressed in a strange uniform and he came down out of the sky and spoke pleasantly to me.” She smiled.

I just love his 451 Fahrenheit my fav book and movie. There are pearls! I love everything what is connected with dystopian societies. But 451 is very close to me. For 5 years I'm living without television. Only couple of times for these years I was watching, but only for most important things.. like Richard on TV ;D

If I'll be a book.... I was thinking about it many times, but maybe this one "I, Jedi" by Michael A. Stackpole. Book is from 1999 and really hard to buy. Why I like this one....Hmmm.... this book is like some kind of diary writting in first person. I like see this in somebody's eyes. Maybe isn't classical big book like e.g. "À la recherche du temps perdu" or Orwell's "1984", but I like it. Or "Jane Eyre".... ???

"Fahrenheit 451" (1966)

Resting, drinking, watching, eating.

Heinz in kids' book

My friend send me pictures of Heinz from book for kids about Captain America. The english title is probably "The Courageous Captain America: An Origin Story". This isn't comic only somekind of addaptation. I'm sorry I don't have names of the authors. I consider that one of them is Val Semeiks, the other Bob McLeod. And there are some of The Storybook Art Group and Hi-Fi color design. But not sure who made these.

I'm resting and eating Polish apples: Red Jonaprice, sweet, from Biała Rawska (Polskie Sady site HERE). Mutants of Jonagold with high level of anthocyanin (HERE) Red Jonaprince was discovered in 1994, in Netherlands, in Weert by G.Princen. "An additional advantage is the excellent storage of the fruit and outstanding durability in the course of trade. Fruits due to the extremely strict, fine-grained flesh retain a long shelf life and attractive appearance. Tree naturally grows vigorously and forms a loose a spreading crown. Recommended for the production of dwarf rootstock." ;D

Dwarf Fruit Tree HERE ;D
BTW Do You know about Thorin to plant? HERE

At last I have new wonderful books :) "Wives and daughters" by Elisabeth Gaskell and "Shirley" by Charlotte Bronte

So -20C outside.

When is -10C is nice :) You only have to have:

T-shirt, polar fleece blouse, leggins and standard: boots, jeans, jacket, socks.

When is -15C You have to change T-shirt on something warm e.g. slim cotton blouse + polar

When is -20C You have to have all 3: T-shirt + slim cotton blouse + polar.

When is -25C You just have faith that this will end soon.

Outside You should use Lip Balm. This one is made by Warpaint Cosmetics London and of course is peach. (Warpaint ???) In home You can make cozy mood by using Cedar Touch, I should say Cedar Flame - Cedar and Orange and Cinnamon home perfume. These are my fav from Pachnąca Szafa HERE

Try to read more books e.g. maybe some from J.G. Ballard? ;D RA is talking about him in one of his interviews before Robin Hood Audiobooks. I have "Rushing to Paradise", "Kingdom Come", "Hello America", "High-Rise". I hadn't time to read this author before. I was much more focused on Huxley and Bradbury.

Still being the woman I remembered about new earrings. These green are my project :) Made by very nice lady in shop with parts to jewelry. The others which look oriental are for practice my ears wear something heavier.:)

I just found this DVD - LOTR behind the scenes, not watching yet :) Waiting for something like this with The Hobbit :)

And something hot for this cold day :) There are many versions of this song but this one is very close to orginal.

Tito Nieves - I like it like that

SALE!!! SALE!!! SALE!!! + my DVD with Captain America

There is time when in almost all shops are sales. So I just was looking today for some interesting things. The point is that when I'm in the city all shops with clothes are closed, and only these with books are open.

So my new books in very good prices :)

This one with orange top has title "Heavy Norwids". How to describe this book? This one is about classical and most famous Polish literature. What we can say about classical literature? That is mostly boring and incomprehensible. So this book is some kind of guide book: "How to read classical literature and how to feel why this literature is so great". I had in plans to buy this earlier but price: almost 60zł was too big. Now I bought it for 9zł :) Cyprian Kamil Norwid was polish poet and his works are really heavy. About Norwid more HERE

Second one "Warsaw death ring, 1939-1944" by Władysław Bartoszewski is about WW2 in Warsaw. Big book in great price from 59zł to 10zł.

Third "The Dangerous Liaisons" from book series where was e.g. Villette, Jane Eyre, A Room with a View and other wonderful books, but I hadn't this one. Price from 40zł to 6zł :)

And "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" :) from 35zł to 13zł :)

New/Old From Heyer :) Black Sheep, False Colours, Frederica, Cousin Kate.

And wonderful to have BBC series Emma from 2009 :)

And at last I have my own copy of Captain America on DVD :)

Not much about Richard :/ But I was watching scenes with Richard with comments by director Joe Johnston, operator Shelly Johnson and editor Jeffrey Ford.

And they are wonderful :) And guys are really enjoy these scenes

This one is interesting. Yes He is able to kill every woman not only grandma. ;D

When is this moment, there aren't comments, at all. They just watching this scene. That means something :)

6th December - Santa Day

Today we have Santa Day - gifts day.

Still I don't understand why we have Santa Day and X-mas day in this same month. But I consider that this is matter of economy: end of Year so we must have something for wasting our money. Maybe this is weird but I still believe in Santa :D even if I found my letters to Santa in my grandpa desk. I'm not very gift person. I'm not waiting for gifts from others. If somebody is giving me something this is really pleasant specially when this is not expected and I'm really grateful.

I'm not mad at my bro that he gave me this year kitchen gloves and icecream from Häagen-Dazs for Santa Day. He is doing so many things for me whole year that even plain chocolate or even one candy is gift enough. Well new kitchen gloves are needed and I really like to eat this kind of icecream. I heard that it is very good. So I'm really happy from this gift. He wanted batteries ;D for Santa Day, because this is practical gift ;D. Year ago he gave me light bulb ;D. So I bought him nice batteries, plus boxers and chocolate :)

Why I'm believing in Santa?

In past week I was thinking about something small for my co-workers. I was in mall looking for some nice little things and not expensive. And I don't know why I did this I just go to Douglas Perfumery. I was there maybe once. And I saw soaps which can be nice knick-knack. Small thing for less than 1 Euro on Sale. Strangely number of these soaps was equal to number of my co-workers. I taked all. Lady at checkout counter said that she can pack each one in very pretty box with red bow. So I said: Yes! At the end this gift was looking like some very classy-Paris-Hilton-like + She gave me little perfumes... And girls at work were mad-crazy today. :)

So maybe this was impuls or maybe this was Santa who gave me possibility to cheer others :) or maybe up there somebody likes me :) because I bought something for me too. For long time I was thinking about something for me at X-mas day. That's why I'm not expecting material gifts from others, I just buying them If I have possibility. I went to Empik - large bookstore and I saw THIS!!!

Pack of 4 DVDs! Cranford and Return to Cranford! for 99,99zł. Separately they costing 70,00zł each. I opened only one ;D Because the other is for X-mas ;D

My new books :)

One about polish weddings by Hanna Szymanderska. Not my fav but price on sale was very good -70% ;D and at last I know why we can't take marriage in may. This is from Rome where in May were Lemuralia. More read HERE. And it stays to this day.

The second one is about herbs.

The Nonesuch (Niezwykły dżentelmen) by Georgette Heyer in... Harlequin edition ? :|

Unfinished tales by Tolkien in pocketbook edition. :)

The last one is "Dodssynden" by Margit Sandemo. Polish title: "The Mortal Sin" from One of Sagas: The Legend of the Ice People. More HERE. I red something about 15 volumes of this, but this one is my fav. It has form that this one can be read separately without much knowlage about other parts. And has much more relations with 17c literature. This is tale about Cecylia and Alexander.

Some days ago I saw for the first time reindeers. Funny furry animals.

Just sitting and resting and eating polish apples :) There are very sweet and crispy. Champion. Polish apples maybe are not so big, but really tasty.

Not big fan of Flo Rida, but there is Etta James wonderful voice! ;D

Flo Rida - Good Feeling
