I don't have much to say lately. I've been procrastinating the important things: going to the library and doing some proper research, going to the post office, doing some grocery shopping, writing e-mails, seeing a photographer for my identity card, and so on and so forth. Instead I did nothing. Well, I did do some thinking but it would have be way ( Read more... )

The following text is the result of the mid-term test I wrote in my translation class last December. It's a mixture of all the newspaper articles we translated as homework until then with these titles: Prince Charles marries Camilla, Prince Harry in a nazi costume, California and the gay marriage, the new James Bond, and a cannibal eats brain with ( Read more... )

Pheh. Translating from German to English is the most time-consuming thing I've done in university so far (Latin doesn't count, Latin is evil).

Well, the day hasn't been too bad actually. At 6pm, I got to know that I have to revise about 250 vocabularies (and some grammar, too) in Latin until Monday, but I'll spare you my cursing now. In addition, I still have to finish reading two plays and a novelette over the weekend, but there are things which pretty much outweigh these minor ones ( Read more... )

What a day. Because of Queer as folk my whole schedule for today got mixed up. How? I watched Queer as folk Monday night and walked around like a zombie yesterday. A very tired zombie. In the late afternoon, I lay down for two hours and did my homework and my daily writing afterwards. I was finished around 2am. Then, I wasn't tired at all and read ( Read more... )

Oh my. You won't believe me which CD I rediscovered - the Sailor Moon soundtrack. Well, not one of the many (I'd die of joy if I had any of them...) but the mixed one which was published here years ago. I still love the music and it makes me so nostalgic. I'd love to watch season three or five again. Or season one. Even season two or four with this ( Read more... )
