Due to the circumstances not entirely depending on me, I am going to spend the following weekend in Poland. Although the reason why I have to go there is not something that makes me happy or something that I would want to share with the rest of the world, I must say I am looking forward to my little trip. Hey, my friends, here I come!!! The Lizard and rock (and roll) await! :))

It's Almost Weekend
It is almost weekend and I have no idea how I will spend it...
Firstly, I have been as sick as a dog for the past 2 days and, unfortunately, I am not getting any better... Secondly, Slawek has gone off to Poland today and will be back on Tuesday night... I am all alone...

I have the whole weekend to myself and myself only... So let's think... I am going to uni tomorrow. I will have a very interesting lecture on multiculturalism, identity politics and cultural differences. I will probably spend some time in a library researching the above and looking for resources that would help me to prepare for a next week's lecture.
I will have to go shopping... I need to buy presents for Slawek's and Alex's oncoming birthdays. I am also planning on visiting my friend, Justyna, on Saturday but it will depend on how I will have felt. I will spend a couple of hours drinking cocktails while chatting with Pati on Skype. And I will spend hours being out with Angie...
That is my plan for the weekend... :)

I am back
"To keep posting on my Past, Present, Future blog at least once per week"... I wrote this on the 1st day of January 2010 as part of my New Year's Resolutions. It clearly has not happened and I have not kept my promise. I have not written anything for over six weeks! I do not even know why... Was I too busy? Not really... Maybe I just did not feel like writing anything... Or maybe I simply did not have anything to write about...
I am back, however, and ready to blog!
Here is a short update of couple of things that took place over the past 2 months:
I went to Spain to visit Pati in the mid January. I have had a chance to meet her new boyfriend. Ricardo seems like a decent bloke. He is not Josep, though... I really, I mean really, liked Josep. It is a shame they are not together any more. But that is life. People get together, something goes wrong, they break up... You just have to move on and look for happiness and for your other half somewhere else.
And Ricardo... It is hard for me to have an opinion or to judge someone I have met once in my life. But he seems like a nice guy. I hope Pati is happy with him. And when she is happy, I am happy.
I have started taking Angie to agility classes. We have attended four sessions and I am not really sure whether we are going to attend any more. The trainer is the main reason. He is nice, he has got knowledge, he is qualified to run training classes (at least that is what he has told us... I have not really checked his credentials with the Kennel Club yet...) The only problem with the guy is that he is so unorganised! He talks too much, dog owners do not know what they are supposed to do most of the times and everything seems a bit out of control. I know he has just become a dog trainer not that long ago. So maybe he just needs more time to deal with issues and more time to learn how to organise training sessions. However, if I spend money, I want to make sure that it is spent properly. I do not want to feel like I am wasting it or like I am wasting my time. And, unfortunately, that is how I have felt while attending his classes.
I am back at university. Want to finish my MA. Although I find this semester's modules quiet difficult, there is also an element of greater stimulation of the senses, better motivation, encouragement and willingness to find out new things and issues.
I have decided to start swimming. I have not really excercised lately and thought it would be a good idea to get back in shape. I consider swimming a great way of doing it. I have started slowly, two times per week, a couple of pool lengths at a time. I want to increase the length with time, I do not want to rush anything because the results could be disastrous.
Slawek and I have also started taking Angie to a vet in order to sort out all the vaccinations, blood tests and documents necessary if we want to get her a pet passport. We want to take Angie abroad with us this summer and have got to start the procedure at least six months before we come back from holidays. Obtaining a pet passport is not a big issue here, it is just the law allowing us to come back with her that is a real pain in the neck.
After months of virtually not taking any photos, I have finally bought a new camera! Nikon D90 is my newest toy for the upcoming months.
And last but not least, I got peed on by a dog... twice... What is up with the universe??? An event like that is supposed to bring me happiness and good fortune... I am not really convinced, I must say...

My Guilty Pleasures
Everybody has a guilty pleasure. Some people have just one. Others have several. Some people talk about them openly, others prefer to keep certain information to themselves. The truth is, most of us crave for something naughty and most of us feel guilty for enjoying it. So do I.
When thinking about my guilty pleasures, I thought I would have difficulties coming up with one. Surprise, surprise... The list got a big long but I will stick to just a few guilty pleasures of mine...
1. Watching Big Brother is certainly one of my biggest guilty pleasures. I don't know what is so interesting about this show, I find people taking part in it highly miserable and annoying and it is completely boring most of the time. Yes, I know I'm wasting my time watching it. And yet, I watch it. Thank God I am sometimes hit with moments of clarity that are followed by a good, loud blow of guilt to my head.
2. Drinking Drambuie, Southern Comfort or Disaronno. What can I say? I like having a drink while taking a bath or watching a movie. Is that really something I should feel guilty about...?
3. Chinese food... I know it is full of fat and contains lots of calories. But I just can't help it...
4. This one is quite obvious - chocolate. I cannot live without it. As a matter of fact I think I am addicted to it. But guess what? I don't care! Forbidden fruits taste the best and so does chocolate. To be honest, I don't even feel guilty for eating it several times per every day...
5. Shoes... "Do you really need another pair?", the guilty conscience on my right shoulder asks. "Of course you do, dummy!!! Buy them!!!", the Devil on my left whispers. I always listen to the latter...
