Not much reading done this month, partly because I've been reading the Nightprowler rulebook and that thing is long-especially since I need to read every single rule, like, 3 times at least to vaguely understand something. I guess ( Read more... )

First of all, happy birthday to maikichelorrain .

Today's class is "Procrastinating 101". Seriously, there isn't much to do for me here this afternoon, and I don't like that. As a result, I gave in: I too decided to have a go at adopting one of these little poy-poys. So, uhm... Feed my Magus, please?

OK, je crois que ma motivation et mon punch de la rentrée sont finalement de retour! Maintenant que j'ai réglé mon problème de chauffe-eau et me suis débarrassée des habituelles corvées de check-up médical et inscriptions diverses à régler, je me rends compte que comme de coutume, au final, je suis plutôt excitée (et non démotivée) par la ( Read more... )

Here we go, it's the day I turn 29 (my last year in the 20's decade, ouch), and it just looks like it's going to be a crappy day spent at home with no hope of really going out, since the weather is very rainy. I had planned on biking to Kehl for a bit of shopping (yay for non-Catholic Bade-Wurtemberg), but I'll delay a little, in the hopes that it' ( Read more... )

I'm currently studying Faulkner's Go Down, Moses, and there's something I'd like to check, so if any of you here has studied it as well and is able to help, I'd appreciate it.

I've read several books and articles about this novel, and something struck me as odd. When it came to dealing with the twins (Uncle Buck and Buddy), there was all this talk ( Read more... )

Bilan de la journée: 5h de taf, déjeuner rapide, 3h de cours, 1h à la biblio pour réviser mon japonais, 2h de réunion en amphi sur les concours de l'enseignement du second degré, rentrée après 20h, bouffé rapidement (vive les haricots en boîte et les steaks de soja prêts en 5 minutes), révisions de linguistique jusqu'à, heu, environ maintenant. Je ( Read more... )

Argh! I so want to see that play that I can't properly focus on whatever I still need to do before! I wish it would start at 2 pm instead of 4 pm, so that I could already get in gear to go and see it. Now It really has to be good, hasn't it. ;)

I'm almost done with the essay, so things aren't going that bad in any case. I'm just feeling restless. ( Read more... )

I thought I wouldn't do a lot tonight after work, but finally it's not so bad. Maybe I'd better not try to understand how come I can do homework when odds are against me, and conversely. At least I'm done with those things, and I'll be able to focus on something else during the rest of the week (and we didn't get booted out of the development room ( Read more... )

The official NaNo forums are available again, so I marked my territory left my mandatory little "hey, it's me again" post there in the French forum.

I'm still unsure about participating, and will probably decide whether I do so or not on October 31st or something like that, but... One never knows.

On the other hand, if I take part, I probably won't ( Read more... )

Huit heures de cours dans la journée, je veux bien... Mais alors quatre heures de cours magistraux à la suite, et qui en plus se finissent par deux heures de syntaxe & linguistique, alors là, je dis: aïe. Ce n'est pas que ça ne m'intéresse pas, bien au contraire. C'est juste que tout cela d'affilée, c'est dur à digérer. Surtout quand je dois encore ( Read more... )
