The picture of the day is my dad's old guitar, back from the music store. It had been in storage for fifteen years, but surprisingly it was all right, except obviously for the strings. I had them put new ones on, and it only cost me fifteen euros. They told me the little bone thing at the top (always at hand with the mot juste, aren't I?) will ( Read more... )

First things first, look what finally arrived!

I can't believe I haven't posted anything here in more than a week! Unacceptable ( Read more... )

It's always weird to adjust to normal life after the holidays. Since I live alone, the hardest part is always adjusting to the silence, after days being surrounded by the sound of other voices. Sakura is taking the brunt of it, as I'm more or less constantly talking to her and describing her what I'm doing. Poor kitty. :D ( Read more... )

News from the last few days! Sadly my aunt went back home on thursday, but on the plus side the tv we sent arrived on the same day, and it works perfectly. My uncle said we did a fantastic job at packing it, there wasn't a scratch on it. I instructed my cousins on which cable to buy (a simple HDMI one), and then I'll tell them how to connect the ( Read more... )

September is here, and with it all the real life stuff I had put out of my mind during the holidays. I'm doing fine, with just a bit of nervousness in everything I do. I was supposed to go back to the gym yesterday, after I took a sabbatical because of that devastating panic attack last year. The friend who drives me there came with the flu, so we ( Read more... )

First things first, thank you all for being so nice to me when I was having a hard time the other day. You guys are wonderful ( Read more... )

Yesterday I spent the day with Tati, first at the beauty salon, then shopping. She bought a gift for her sister's wedding, I bought a travel size nebulizer. I can't believe they even make those! I'm never leaving the house without. There was a lot of ecstatic jumping up and down in the store. It's so little I can carry it in my bag! If I only had ( Read more... )

It's been another hectic week. Mostly because two days ago my younger cousin managed to break all five toes in his right foot while playing football, and had to undergo surgery. We're still waiting on the x-rays, and hoping they won't have to operate twice. The general consensus in the family is that since he's six-foot-tall and as strong as he is ( Read more... )

It's been a great weekend. I finished my part of my cousin's graduation thesis on Futurism (he's still going to check it and re-write it, but I did the bulk of the job), and I learned a lot of stuff in the process. I finally threw away all my old notes from University. I did my civic duty and voted at the EU elections, and my party won. I'm more ( Read more... )
