My Daughter the Terrorist (and more cheerful topics)

[ourdramaqueen]

No that's not an exploitation film or a whacky Hollywood comedy, but a documentary about two girls who joined the Black Tigers, the elite squad of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) a.k.a. Tamil Tigers. For those who don't know, I had a Tamil boyfriend for about 8 years, but even before that I was interested in Sri Lanka, and I've been there several times. On the one hand I would really like to get this documentary, on the other hand I'm not sure I can get through it... This country will always have a special place in my heart, and the thought that, as things are standing right now, its people might well be suffering this civil war for another decade or several, just because the two main (war) parties involved will not move one.little.step from their respective positions, hurts.


In more cheerful news, I got hailed on on the short way from the closest bus stop to home, and my thin silk skirt was thoroughly soaked and clung to my legs by the time I reached the door. I'm not complaining though - this is just another sign that IT'S SUMMER!!! \o/

Oh and I believe I forgot to mention that I'll have a two-week holiday from 7 July on. FINALLY!!! \o/ Speaking of which, the third and last volume of my "Serenity: Better Days" comic did arrive at the end of last week. Phew! Now I hope that my copy of "Shadow's Return" will get here soon... of course the slight delay in shipment was my own fault because I had forgotten to update my credit card's expiration date, although I was convinced I'd done it for all pre-ordered items... Duh!

I just checked and my copy of 'Shadows Return' has been dispatched! The estimated delivery date is june 30, but two weeks ago another item I ordered came 2 days earlier than estimated, so hopefully I'll have the book on saturday! Fingers crossed!!

The timing is great, because it's exactly two years ago that I read the first three books. :)
