A lot of fandom news, because there's not much real life news going on.

First, damn Netflix for releasing new series just before the weekend. Every single time. This particular weekend was cannibalized by the third season of Orange Is the New Black. Did I learn my lesson last year, when I devoured two seasons in three days and then got sad ( Read more... )

Last weekend we had a national holiday, so I managed to have two whole days of peace and quiet, no appointments, nothing to worry about. I really needed some time to do some thinking. With the help of my friends I decided to push the CPE to December, rather than taking it this month. These last few months have been so hectic with real life stuff ( Read more... )

The heat wave is still here and going strong, and truly unbearable. Walking outside feels like having someone holding a wet handkerchief over one's face. My therapist cancelled our session this morning, and while that's usually disappointing, I have to admit I wasn't really looking forward to walking through half of Venice in this ungodly heat. And ( Read more... )

Crap, I hadn't cried so much over a Game of Thrones episode in ages. My face is a mess, my eyes are all red and puffy, and I'm still hiccupping. I love this show so much, but it keeps breaking my heart.

So, so glad I haven't read the books though. I much prefer the series, so plot twists like this one come as a surprise. I was also expecting The ( Read more... )

Highlights from the last few days! I went back to the gym after the flu-induced break, and I managed to do all the exercises without taking any breaks. Go lungs. My muscles are all sore today, especially the back, but I have another session this evening, that'll help ( Read more... )

After all the Doctor Who-related whining yesterday, it is time to write an enthusiastic entry about a tv show. I'm talking about Game of Thrones, which keeps being absolutely brilliant. During the hiatus I started reading the books, but soon realized I much prefer the tv show, and stopped reading them to avoid spoilers. So glad I did, because every ( Read more... )

Let's see what happened these last few days, going backwards in time.

Yesterday Tati and I had dinner at her sister's. We had pizza and played the Game of Thrones board game. Last time I was a Lannister, and I won. This time Tati's sister was a Greyjoy, and she won. I was a Stark, but I was tired and sleepy, and got cornered in the North and ( Read more... )

I'm back! I spent the weekend at Tati's, while a storm came and the temperature dropped ten degrees at least. Not very pleasant on sunday night when we were walking through a deserted parking lot, wearing skimpy dresses, at 10 pm, going to the cinema to see Spiderman. Crap, it was so cold. The air-conditioned cinema actually felt warm in comparison ( Read more... )

I was absent from livejournal for one day - I was at Tati's and my cellphone's battery was dying, so I couldn't go on the internet - and the owner of sherlockbbc goes and changes the mods. I was so not expecting that. It is finally time to re-join my very first Sherlock community, where I met so many wonderful persons, and that I had to leave like so many ( Read more... )

Just got back from therapy, it was the first time in three weeks, we had so much to talk about. I saved some stories for next time, because one hour wasn't enough for all the stuff that happened. I feel so much better right now, though. Even if my stupid right shoe cut my feet, and when I took it off at home I was bleeding. It still counts as an ( Read more... )
