News from both worlds...
Real Life: went to uni today to find some info about British universities where I might spend my year abroad. Looks like Birmingham is the closest match for what I want. Actually, I wanted Cardiff, but they only have one of my subjects there...
Real Life/Net life: been preparing the Farscape weekend with Claudia and Antje by doing some big time shopping! (Gotta provide four meals for over 30 people. You get the idea.) When we were done, Nager from Scififorum.de called us - he was on the road somewhere between Wiesbaden and Frankfurt - and after some confusion we decided to have him come to Claudia's place, and had Kai come over, too, and we all had pizza together. Very nice. Looking forward to meeting everybody (lots of new people around this time!!!) tomorrow...
Oh, hey, and I painted myself blue today! Well, only in part, but it was still a really amazing experience. A totally different feeling - like my body was suddenly not quite my body anymore. I now understand what Virginia Hey described in that interview, about looking at her hands and going 'Oh my god, I'm blue!'
Claudia and Antje were impressed, and Claudia is looking forward to being painted blue now, too. Hehe.
I also finished her ten silver rings that will make the Zhaan costume perfect. We'll pose as a sort of twinned Zhaan for a picture that will hopefully demonstrate to our American friends in the campaign that we're with them, even if we can't do much over here. And no, we will *not* shave our heads. We'll go for season three Zhaan, with the headscarf. ;-)
So, other than that, what's new? Not much, except maybe that Dork Tower just did Farscape again:

Have to go to bed now, read a bit about 'The Cultural Criticism of Randolph Bourne, Van Wyck Brooks, Waldo Frank, and Lewis Mumford'.
