Apparently tinypic is cutting out international viewers.I'm a little confused, though - I can still see all images uploaded to tinypic, including my own ( Read more... )

By my calculations, I'll have time to breathe again sometime after Christmas.

Anyway.

Princess Tutu is one of those shows I've never either wanted or needed fic for. It's just too perfect the way it is. The only thing I could ever do for it was the Spot the Reference series.

However, omnicat wanted Tutu fic for her birthday, and what omnicat wants, omnicat gets ( Read more... )

So I'm taking part in this year's summer opera thing (we're doing La Traviata), and today was the first day we managed to have a full rehearsal at the stage. You see, it's outdoors, and it's been either too rainy or too windy to stay for long. And cold. Today was almost okay temperature, but we're all still covered in big sweaters and blankets and ( Read more... )

Gratulerer med dagen til alle norske!

And for the maybe two people who read this and don't understand Norwegian: Today is our Constitution Day. On May 17th, 1814 we signed our own constitution. Technically we were still a part of Denmark back then, and given that we'd entered the losing side of the Napoleonic war, we were soon after given to ( Read more... )

I'm completely beat. And stressed out. Between work and orchestra and somehow getting landed in the position of getting extra musicians, which, er, wasn't that easy (to put it mildly), I haven't had time to write nearly enough on my term paper. Of course I've wasted some time as well, but mostly I've been too mentally exhausted to do anything. And ( Read more... )

So, it occurs to me that unless you know me offline, you don't know that I'm going on an orchestra trip this Easter. To Japan.

Anyone who wants postcards can message me their name and address! I'll be visiting Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, so if you have a preference in where you want the card to be from, let me know.
ETA:By "message" I really meant PM ( Read more... )

I. AM SICK AND TIRED. OF SNOW.

The snow in the garden is now waist high. The pavement is completely blocked, because we have no place to put the damned stuff. I spent over an hour trying to make sure the car can get out of the garage. And now IT'S SNOWING AGAIN ( Read more... )

It's ridiculous how happy I am that our local grocery store has reopened. Especially since I'm not particularly fond of the store chain. (I think it's because I can't figure out their business profile, besides "take over other shops that Ingvild liked better ( Read more... )

I used to be like this. More specifically, I used to be like this on one specific discussion forum, especially regarding one specific topic. But I finally dropped it. The person I was arguing with wasn't tecnically wrong, I just couldn't help but feel that s/he was approaching the subject with certain wrong assumptions and from a wrong angle. I got ( Read more... )

I'm writing this from my brand new, absolutely tiny notebook computer. It weighs less than a kilo, and is smaller than most of my dictionaries. It's actually not all that difficult writing on such a small keyboard, I'm kind of surprised to tell the truth. It came with a free two-month trial run of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, and to tell ( Read more... )
