On one hand, I really need to remember not to go grocery-shopping on Saturdays because the city centre is always packed and it takes longer than it should to get anywhere and there are way too many tourists ( Read more... )

I have belated Halloween candy from my parents, a complete set of the Death Gate Cycle books temporarily in my possession*, and a completed story up in brief_transit that I started way back the first time I came to York. Life is good! And York smells like freshly baked brownies for some reason, or at least it did when I was walking back from the parcel pick- ( Read more... )

Whoops, accidentally forgot to post for ages - okay, not so much "forgot" as "busied myself with many other things," mostly work and being incredibly lazy ( Read more... )

Hello hello! Sorry for lack of updates again - life has been full of quiet and working. I had an exceptionally pleasant Saturday where I failed to find any further information on that damn French pamphlet, but did get to walk around a lot, take lovely pictures of Baeolophus on campus, and wander around Southpoint just generally looking for things ( Read more... )

The weather the last couple of days has been amazing. Not a cloud in the sky, just enough of a breeze to be pleasant, the perfect temperature... So naturally I spent most of today making challenge icons.

Well, today went very well! I had a good meeting with my advisor, who continues to tell me things like "You have such nice no-bullshit scholarly writing!" and make me squirm with embarrassment.

Today I bought the giant bottle of sweet chili sauce, as I earlier foretold! \o/ MANY AND DELICIOUS WILL BE THE FOODS I COOK WITH IT, OR DIP INTO IT, AS FATE ALLOWS ( Read more... )

Spring appears to be hitting York, the weather today was simply gorgeous. *_* I slept in, had microwave rice and instant miso for breakfast because I was out of bread (it was a good breakfast, though!), then walked into King's Manor to turn something in and hung around taking pictures of Liet. Liet needed some pictures okay, her current outfit ( Read more... )

The sun is shining, flowers are blooming, the essay is printed and turned in, and I successfully acquired a delicious Thai lunch, some groceries, and three more volumes of Naruto. \o/ Low on sleep or not, I feel pretty good about today!

Now for a life of carefree ease, just me and my AU and my Pokemons.

So I get random fits of "I REALLY LIKE LIVING IN YORK" every so often, including tonight, but they are slightly tempered by having no one in town with whom to share this joy. Honestly, I loved living in Oxford too, but one of the most fun bits was getting to show my family around when they visited at the end of term. I can't wait till my mom ( Read more... )
