The Friday Five this week sucks. But I'm going to do it anyway. On Saturday (there's rebellion for you). But I won't link to them.
1. What do you most want to be remembered for?
I don't really want to be remembered 'for' anything. If the people I love remember me as a nice, good person they loved, that's enough.
2. What quotation best fits your outlook on life?
None at all. How could a fucking quotation describe my outlook on life? Not to mention someone elses' quotation. And I don't have the imagination to think up something witty or whatever myself.
3. What single achievement are you most proud of in the past year?
Have I achieved anything?! I don't know. Any readers who know what has actually gone in my life this year will know what I mean when I say I'm pretty sure I've not really achieved much at all :) Well, I guess that I'm more confident. Committed to pushing my own limitations a bit more than I used to. I think my outlook has changed a lot.
4. What about the past ten years?
Survived :) I don't know.
5. If you were asked to give a child a single piece of advice to guide them through life, what would you say?
Be true to yourself, try everything, be kind, understanding and honest.
I think maybe this is another Friday Five I haven't really gotten into the spirit of :)

Yey, that's better.
As you can see I've made some changes.
Personalised the blog links, changed to colour scheme. Any comments welcome :)
I think maybe some more graphics would be good, so I'll work on that :) ¶ 12:09 AM

The last couple of days have been really relaxed, and I haven't been doing much. Today I went and had lunch with my aunt, Anneke, and Noel. It was my dad's 50th birthday today as well, so maybe it was partly in celebration of that, from afar :) Then Mike came and met me and we went to see El hijo de la novia, which was really good. There are some particular scenes which were really moving: the main character, Rafael, finally gets around to reading his daughter's poem about their family; Rafael's reaction when his father tells him he wants to give his mother, who has Alzheimer's and can barely recognize her husband and son, a white wedding; and so on. Just a really touching, beautiful film. Ricardo Darín, Héctor Alterio and Gimena Nóbile were particularly good, I thought.
Otherwise I've been reading Transmetropolitan voraciously the last two days.
Leylop's blog is still going strong, as well. It's worth checking out if only for her photography:
