King Kong

King Kong (2005)There’s been a lot of crap released by Hollywood recently. It’s been a while since I watched any movie at all – the motivation is gone. And I don’t even want to go to the cinema no more. No, actually I want to go. It’s just that there isn’t anything to watch there at the moment. Except for “King Kong” of course.

The Christmas tree is up

After two week or so of preparetions, we finally installed the Christmas tree. It took me about two hours to assemble and decorate it.

This year we also bought some lights for the Christmas tree. Since we weren’t looking for anything special, we settled for the cheapest ones in Ermes. They turned out to be very basic – no blinking of any kind, and no colors. Just a bunch of small lights connected to a power cable. Nothing else.

At first, we were disappointed that we didn’t check what was in the package, but when everything was set – we liked it. They turned out to be really good. The tree already had too much and blicking or colors would have been overdoing it.

I’ll post some pictures later this week as I am off to the cinema today…

Maxim needed MRI brain scan to see if there is anything that pressures his facial nerve. The right side of his face is still not very active and we slowly start worrying about it.
