I had every intention of making a post today - well, a proper one, this one doesn't count - but since today's been crap, that plan's been scrapped. Besides, I haven't done much today: went to work, was cold, put subtitles on a documentary all day, Tumblred, was bored, was even more cold, had lunch with people (even through I was a social-anxiety- ( Read more... )

Just a quick note to say that a) I ain't dead (yet) although b) I'm mentally exhausted, what with i) workworkwork, ii) socializing zomg, iii) multiple language use. Seriously, on Monday? I got home and just collapsed on the floor for a few hours in a mental coma ( Read more... )

Sickle's Brief Review of The Crazies:

• I loved this movie. Loved loved loved it. It had heart, it had gore, it had the real sort of horror and the movie horror, it had action, and it flowed. Also, what's not to love about what is basically a zombie movie?
• What I mean about the "real sort of horror" is that there's a lot of scenes - and implied ( Read more... )

You'll never guess what I did today! I did stuff! I actually did something and that Something was accomplished!

( It involved bureaucracy. )

Lately I've been swinging between a hankering for Disney/Pixar films or horror films. I think we all know what that means! Escapism for the win! Lately I've watched Toy Story and How to Tame Your Dragon, and I have Devour, Triangle and Anastasia lined up. Blood, guts and children's stories have always gone well together ( Read more... )

Today is even more crap than yesterday. ( How crap? Sickle-rambles-on-and-on crap. That kind of crap. )

Let me tell you a little something about dark characters. Hurm.*

Graduation: Maarten sent in the photos of my signing the wall in the Zweetkamer (Sweating Room) alongside all other graduate signatures. ( Weeee! )

Life: Productivity was reached! I'm half-way through making maps of all the lions showing their home ranges. Tomorrow, calculating areas and, hopefully, getting the maps presentable with all that fancy stuff like legends and titles and shit. I hope to get some writing on the discussion done this weekend, or at the very least stick on some error ( Read more... )

Life: I'm back from Rome. More details when am not NaNoed out and wish to enter sleepdom.

Nano: I can haz plan! Plan is vague and includes yet another road trip. I doubt this novel, when looked at critically, has a plot. Or even momentum because hardly anything happens, when you boil it right down. The lastest scribblings have Chip nabbing a ( Read more... )

Today I woke up a tad late, but thoroughly enjoyed my morning. I'm totally hooked reading The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson, which is awesome, so I did a lot of that. I went off to the market for fruit, of which there was a paltry selection, and bought way more curry sauces at the Asian store Toko than I can shake vegetables at ( Read more... )
