So today, as Google kindly reminded me, is Charles Darwin's 200th birthday. Happy Birthday, mate!

On a slightly more personal level, I'm studying for the Sociolinguistics quiz I have tomorrow. At bloody 9. And tonight I'm going out. Clubbing. I've been forced: "No excuses" they told me. So here I am. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll be so shitty and ( Read more... )

Does it ring a bell? Tehehe...
But it wasn't depressing at all... And it was very white too! I love snow. Well, now it's maybe a bit annoying because it's practically snowing every day for a couple of hours and I can't go anywhere with my car because the streets are awfully slippery. Hope I can get out of my house by New Year's Eve!

Anyway Christmas ( Read more... )

I believe I'll rarely be home in these holidays, didn't know I was so sought-after! XD ( Read more... )

Rules: For eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day.

I'm a bit in a hurry since my friends came from Italy, we're visiting as much of Wales as possible in seven days and I barely have the time to check my e-mail box, but there are plenty of things that made me happy today, so it'll be quite easy!

I'm still alive :D (though this bloody cold is a serious threat to my wellbeing).
At the moment I'm doing pretty well, I'm ecstatic about Christmas coming (my favourite time of the year) and all absorbed by the gift hunt (I'm a bit strange, I love making gift a lot more than receiving them).
Uni is still exhausting, but my latest essay, on Joyce's ( Read more... )

ABC has decided against giving full-season orders to "Pushing Daisies," but is not officially saying that the struggling show is canceled.
Producers of the show are being told that ABC has elected not to order additional hours beyond the original 13-episode commitments. The network left the door open for ordering more ( Read more... )

I apologize for not being able to post anything or even comment other posts in the last two weeks...

It's been quite a hectic period: literature essays that led me to the border of insanity, gradual deterioration of my house (now it seems finally ok, btw), fencing lessons growing more and more difficult and exhausting... And finally the so longed- ( Read more... )

I promised I would post a couple of pics of my vampire outfit and of the party, so here they are. I should probably warn you, particularly about the one my flatmates took while I was putting the make-up on, or the one when I try the fake fangs and end up with a not so intelligent expression... Oh, well, never mind...

( The Horror! The Horror! )

So this would be my first real Halloween, since in Italy we don't celebrate it, except in some crap disco parties I avoid like the plague... The atmosphere here is totally different, I like it!

I decided just today my "costume", because in the last days I was more concerned with the buttock-freezing cold... The first October snow since 1934?!?! That ( Read more... )
