There are numerous lists of 2012 world events on the net, but in my opinion the really interesting stuff is actually personal highlights of the people you know and of those you don't. For eg. I found this one on the website of The Guardian really cool, not only because it's funny. I liked it because of its personal flavour and privacy. It drew my attention to the small but important things in our life, the ones that make a difference, the ones that really matter and make people, events, things memorable to US.
My three-year-old daughter's funny words, such as cizmározni (cipzározni), Józsiska (Jézuska), izmonyom (izmom), taski (taxi), etc. I try to keep a record of all of them, they will be funny to talk about later when she gets older.
Mason of the year: my friend's father who built a small new house in our garden out of the material from the old house that was pulled down. He reused every bit and piece that was in good condition in order keep the "spirit" of the garden and save money naturally. He had so many great ideas that are cheap or even costless to realise. I really admire the way he thinks and feels about buildings, spaces, decoration, nature and harmony.
In Bruges: a fantastic story in the form of a beautiful film that's both funny and sad, comedy and tragedy, real and surreal. It made me laugh my head off and cry like a baby several times during the 107 minutes it lasts. It's full of suspense and tension, and weird turns of events. Here's the trailer.
A literary discovery - Boris Vian: I like reading books that are in some way magical or even absurd, I like tales very much, those modern, contemporary ones mostly. Vian knows how to do it. The first book of his that I read was Froth on the Daydream (Tajtékos napok) which is a strange, surrealistic love story full of wordplays, made-up-words that take you into a familiar yet completely new and special world. The way he uses the language is really funny and it adds up so much to the overall effect of the book, it's simply amazing.
Gardening - The place where I spent a huge amount of my free time was our garden. All those quiet, peaceful mornings with a cup of coffee and plants to take care of... Brings back lovely memories. It also reminds me of how much I look forward to the spring when I'll be able to indulge in this activity again.
