Couch Potato

This was me during my last vacations. Sitting on the couch, watching tv, doing nothing at all… Well, I was sitting on the couch and watching tv!

It took some time but I managed to ‘kill’ most of what was waiting on my “to watch” list. The top three movies I watched were:

  • Transporter 3, a good action movie with lots of… action, and also some shooting and some fast driving
  • Quantum of Solace, nice Bond girls but didn’t quite understood what was actually the ‘quantum of solace’
  • and Mamma Mia, the latest ABBA musical remake.

Now, about Mamma Mia, there is much to be said. First, let me start by stating that I usually hate musicals, but with Mamma Mia it was different. It is true that listening to a duet with Pierce Brosnan and Meryl Streep almost cost me an hear drum - Pierce Brosnan really needed a couple more music lessons, but the actual movie was quite good. A funny result from watching the movie is that my daughter is now a major fan of ABBA.

 

PM/AM

I love to learn new stuff with my little daughter. She is reaching a age where lots a questions must be answered. The last question was about the meaning of PM that appears just after the time in the digital clock from my task bar.

The question caught me completely off guard, but I like to answer all my daughter’s questions… from the easiest to the most complicated!!! So, after a joint googling adventure we found the meaning of PM/AM.

From wikipedia we got: “The 12-hour clock is a timekeeping convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods called ante meridiem (a.m., Latin “before noon”) and post meridiem (p.m., “after noon”).”.

Quite nice, acquiring knowledge this way!!!
