Summertime, and the living is (not) easy...

[_backpages_]

Oh, how I miss the carefree days of my youth when summer meant checking out mountains of library books and spending every waking moment reading by/in a pool! It occurs to me that I haven't had a proper summer vacation since I was in primary school. Every year after that I ended up working, volunteering, interning, or suffering through some kind

I find it quite depressing that it's nearly the middle of July already and i haven't spent much time out in the sun apart from the few days at Wimbledon. Maybe i need to just take the laptop outside and do some work there...though i know i'll get distracted too easily! ;)

I'm so glad pre-season's started - i'm going mad here with no football! :D

You should definitely get outside if you have a chance! I want to be out getting a tan but it's just too hot. The other day I was outside in the afternoon and started noticing a strange burning smell. It was my hair. O.O

All the players were saying the break was too short, but it feels like it's been ages since the last match. Maybe I'd think differently if I were sweating through double training sessions every day... ;)

Sorry to hear you're having a sucky summer :-( Here's hoping things will start looking up soon!

As for Karl Urban, I have a huge soft spot for him, because with Star Trek he's now been a part of no less than three slash pairings I'm partial to (Faramir/Eomer, Riddick/Vaako and any combination of McCoy/Scotty/Chekov). Sadly I find Kirk too annoying to be able to read Kirk/McCoy, so there isn't much for me even in such a thriving fandom as Star Trek (it's a curse - when I'm not into the most obscure fandoms ;-), I find myself the most obscure pairings). If you can stomach Kirk, though, you must have so many good stories to read now... :is jealous:

Thanks! It could be a lot worse, I know, but this heat just makes me cranky!

Heh, my soft spot for Karl Urban has less to do with the roles he's played (though Eomer is one of my favourite literary characters of all time) and more to do with the fact that he is 1)a totally endearing dork and 2)acres of tall, dark, and handsome and pretty much my ideal man. Bones and Spock are my favourite original Trek characters; I've always found Kirk annoying and laughable, really. But I thought the reboot did a much better job of showing the intelligence and courage hiding behind all the skirt-chasing and reckless behavior. ;)
