I wrote this up in a jiffy and I'm pretty sure my subconscious meant it for you, nubenove. Or maybe me. I dunno. And the rest of us who feel confuddled at the moment.

the state of unthinking/doing

I think that I know--
I don't know--
I think and I think but I can't be sure.
I think and then am told:                          <-- (I wish I were told.) 
Enough. Don ( Read more... )

Now that it's been a week and a day since the end of my "A" Levels, I thought I should make it a point to round off this tedious, enlightening journey that began 14 years ago...

... Or not. I don't feel an inclination to talk about academics right this moment, just that I've experienced equal parts of anxiety, joy, satisfaction, guilt, camaraderie ( Read more... )

For the (very) second time since I began my love affair with World War fiction in den Ländern settings, I read of myself in the plot again!

Always as minor characters, of course - the first being the baby of a refugee family in A Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell and once more, today, as a railway boy who was so unimpressionable that I can't say ( Read more... )

I'm finally putting up the skirt sets for sale. Shall post them up here for a day (or two) first. Folks on my F-list will get a chance to purchase these sets at their soft launch (i.e. cheaper) prices.

... The real reason why they're on LJ first is 'cause I've haven't come up with the shop header + logo thingamajiks yet. Ho hum. >_> Plus the photog ( Read more... )

Somewhere between being nagged at by m'dear mother and starting to feel kinda grimy in my bed, I decided to change my bedsheets this morning. It's the new year in less than 15 hours, after all. I was actually surprised by how quickly it took - obviously, I've not been doing this in a while. >_<

Anyway, the main point's that instead of categorising ( Read more... )

Thought that I couldn't enter the almost-New Year and not keep at least a couple of the several promises I've made before.

I will be posting up photos from the following occasions once I've had them all edited:

- Tea Cosy Meet (19 December 2010)
- Cotton Armour's But These Things Also Are Spring's Collection Sneak Peak
- Sanakou's Birthday
- Gwyne + ( Read more... )

 
... when you realise that you lunch was made up almost entirely of carbs.

Toast + Tuna, Toast + Fried Egg (with runny centre! ' v ' ), Steamed pumpkin cake, Sweet dumplings (like dango)  in syrup.

Hmph. 

 ... and a PANCAKE. Or flapjack, hotcake, griddle-thingthugum-whachacallit.

I made it today, as I have on a few recent occasions.

With a whole box of pancake mix, you can't just leave it in its forlorn corner by the slow cooker.

I don't really get the urge to chug chocolate sprinkles or tabs or bars. Rephrase - I don't get why people have such urges.

My friends in real life would know how I don't always accept free chocolate handouts. For one, I consider them to be 'heaty' foods. (I don't know if it's just a mere personal belief, but I seem to get sore throats just by ( Read more... )
