Kingly Mail

There was mail for me today.

It turned out to be a book that was send to me by Selexyz as I had unlocked their Foursquare special.

Foursquare is a kind of game on your mobile phone where you can check in and earn points when you visit certain locations. Some locations have a so called Special. Selexyz' Special is that you get a free book when you visit one of their stores 10 times. Isn't that cool?

And this is the book they send me.
It's called 'The King' and the story is set in Persia during the industrial revolution. The book sounds really interesting and the first chapter starts with cows!

Teaser Tuesdays - Warm Bodies

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: - Grab your current read - Open to a random page - Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) - Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

He gazes up at the sky, and a faraway look comes into his eyes. 'Had...dream...last night. Real dream. Memories.'

It Be Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Aye, me land lubbers!
Today it be Talk Like A Pirate Day.

So in honor of this proud day I be reposting a picture of me in my pirate costume. I'll be off now and shiver me some timbers. Arrr!

And why is the rum gone?

Going out for Dinner on a Saturday Night

This evening we went out for dinner at an Italian restaurant with a couple of our co-workers.

There was mood lighting, so the pictures turned out a bit dark and red though.

Red table cloth, red candle holder.
Yup, a lot of red.

There was lots of choice in pastas and pizzas.

My owner and me picked a pizza with mushroom, onions, brocolli, spinach, soft cheese and peppers. Yum!

My owner had hot chocolate as dessert, but one of the other had ice cream and I got to taste some!

We had lots of fun and I hope we will do this again some time soon.

Zombie Mail

I got a zombie book in the mail today.
Warm Bodies is a story about a zombie who falls in love. I'm usually not so fond of stories where zombies fall in love, but I've been told by Titania that this is a very good read, so I'll give it a try.

Going out for Dinner

My owner and me had dinner with a friend at a well known fast food restaurant. I liked the french fries, but my owner had to have a hamburger of course. I stayed far away from it.
