Back in March, Sara Jaksa posted my gift for the Secret Santa organized by Sara at the end of 2024. It took me almost a year to reply, this post has been in draft mode for a while.
This is only the second post for this year on my blog and the year is ending with only a few hours left. So I basically neglect the blog in 2025. I have two main reasons for this, first I’ve had a busy mind with work and personal life that I didn’t have the head space to blog, secondly I joined a book club (in Portuguese) I’ve read 13 books in the past 12 months, so part of my free time was filled with the books I was reading in the club.
When Sara posted that she was organizing a secret santa I jumped on it. I thought it was a really cool idea. Later Sara messaged me to tell that there wasn’t much interest but she didn’t want to let me without a gift so she was preparing one for me. I messaged Sara back saying she would also get one gift from me.
So two weeks ago Sara posted my gift.
This month’s pick for the IndieWeb Movie Club, was It’s a Wonderful Life from 1946. I have heard about this movie many times before but I have never watched it.
As the movie started and the story start to take shape I must confess I got a bit ansiosos about thinking what would happen with him that he would try to end his life.
George Bayle (the main character in the movie) is the kind of man that everyone would be happy to have around.
This month’s pick for the IndieWeb Movie Club, was All Against All from 2019. When Sara Jaksa mentioned that the plan was to pick a Slovenian movie I got excited since it would be the first time watching a movie from Slovenia. Later when Sara reviewed the pick and the synopsis I thought we were on to a nice treat.
Now after watching it I am glad to say that my first thoughts about the movie were right.
This month’s IndieWeb Carnival is hosted by Riccardo with the theme multilingualism in a global web.
I personally experience the web happens in two languages, Brazilian Portuguese my home tongue and English the language I’ve chosen for most of the writing and reading I do online.
When I started this blog, over 20 years ago now, I was writing in Portuguese but later I decide to write in English and never looked back.
Last month I have done a 30 days collage challenge here on my blog and it was fun.
When you force yourself to do something sometimes can be less fun. There were moments during the last month that all that I wanted was going to bad but I had to work on my collage so I could keep the streak and publish on my blog a new collage for the day.
