Saw Wanted with misterfallen. We disagreed on whether it had no plot or just a bad one, but the action scenes were shiny. The presence of Anton Gorodetsky from the Night Watch movie was surprising, but given the director it probably shouldn't have been. The hacking up a lung in the cinema was annoying. The getting thoroughly rained on because I was on the ( Read more... )

Well, it appears that City Temple Conference Centre, where they're having our exams (the first in three hours)? Is City Temple Church and Conference Centre. As churches go they're apparently very liberal, but I'm still really hoping I don't have anyone encouraging me to accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour whilst I'm trying to dredge ( Read more... )

There are no words for how much I am craving a nice, bloody steak right now. (All vegetarians on my F-list promptly wince... :P) With a side of green salad. Healthy food. I swear I checked the lunar calendar and investigated as to whether I'd gotten furrier, the urge is that strong ( Read more... )

Ladies and gentlemen:

My laptop is broken.

That's right, laptop broken. As in, it doesn't turn on. As I haven't the foggiest idea how to troubleshoot hardware, I couldn't tell you what is wrong or how long it will take to fix it. It's also outside warranty... I'm currently looking for a place that repairs Toshiba laptops ( Read more... )

Well, if that isn't just the icing. I've been quite bored all week due to the rapid transition between utterly hectic and completely idle; Danae flew away yesterday to spend xmas in Prague (lucky...!), so there goes the entertainment; and now this ( Read more... )

There were proper fireworks this time. Apparently it's Lord Mayor something-or-other.

They were insanely gorgeous - and they faded so fast. I could turn this into a commentary on the transient nature of beauty, I suppose, but no. Whatever. Who cares?

The world was full of light.

Extremely tired. Insanely harassed. Uber snappy. Frantically packing. Craving steampunk for some reason. Random fits of hysteria ensue at regular intervals. So, what's new?

[ETA] ONE day till moving! *crash* We will resume our regularly scheduled panic after someone brings the smelling salts...

Generalised exhaustion has accumulated and struck. My hand's kind of swollen, below the knuckles but above the wrist oddly enough; I think I abused it a bit. Today I'm going to start packing - after I have a nice long session of sitting around doing nothing to restore my resources ( Read more... )

Yes, another entry.

It appears that I'll be getting my busted wrist operated on this Thursday, although thankfully there will be no need to actually put me to sleep, and this time should be much less traumatic for my poor mother so she'll be handling the anaesthesia, which is nice and makes me feel entirely safe ( Read more... )

Today I wound up tackling my To Do List with only six hours of sleep on me, and said hours were 9am to 3pm, but still, I got stuff done. The surgeon proclaimed me fully recovered, six months' worth of contact lenses are ordered (and if they don't get here in time, my folks can always send me a care package - those are always cute), and I'm ( Read more... )
