Aaaah, the Holidays!!

Helo everyone!!

I've just come back from 10 days in England, visiting my parents. It was SO good to do nothing. Beki forced me to not use my computer (I still managed to negociate the rights to write a 5000 word talk and checked my e-mails a bit too much. I just can't stop...), which was really awesome. Well we'd kind of decided beforehand that we wouldn't do any computering... I'm just saying that Beki forced me to make it sound better. Which isn't very cool for her... Sorry Beki!

Anyway, was just blogging to say that I feel so relaxed, and the holidays have really had the effect that they are supposed to have: give you the energy to go back even stronger... 

And what's reaally great is that I've come back from holiday missing two things, mainly: my cat, Gaufre, whom I was reunited with yesterday, to Beki and my great joy and pleasure, and the second thing is the youth group, whom I'll see tomorrow!! It's awesome that I feel that way, because I've never been like that before. I really think that there's a fairly good dynamic in the group, as far as youth groups go, and I just love every single member of it. 

I'd also like to use this time to recommend a great film: Madagascar 2! It is absolutely legendary. I went to see it with some of the youth not long before the holidays, and found it awesome, but not all that quotable... And then I went to see it a second time with my family, and in fact, there are loads of really funny things to quote. The best part is when King Julian tries to convince animals in the savana that they need to give a live sacrifice to the gods in the volcano to allow water to return to the reserve. "Now, who would like to be eaten by gods? Any hands?" Well, you've really got to see it to find it funny, but it's actually hilarious.

"I don't understand why the sacrifice didn't work! The science was so solid!"
