I am nearly recovered from my illness, hooray! It's down to an intermittent cough and slight congestion, which is much better than I was. Unfortunately, avatar1983 seems to have also gotten ill, but yesterday was the worst of it, we think, and he's on the mend now, too.

The rice-flour mana pua were not a mistake, per se, especially since they were still ( Read more... )

I have to wonder if there's some sort of yearly illness quota that I've been lax on in past years and I'm just doing back-payments now. This is getting ridiculous. I mean, I've only been ill for twoish days this time, but this sort of thing really has to stop! I'm glad it's just a cold etc, but seriously. Was a month-long ear infection not enough?

Dear avatar1983I don't really know how to tell you this, but you're a pervert. I think I realized it when I changed tennis shoes under the bus and I saw you pour syrup on my best friend. I'm sure you're scarred enough to understand that Extreme Home Makeover sucks. I'm returning your memories from the military service to you, but I'll keep your suicide note ( Read more... )

So I don't remember if I posted about this, but I bought Guitar Hero: On Tour for my fat old DS a while ago, and it's kind of weird. I had a serious Guitar Hero craving this evening, so I tried to satisfy it with the DS version and it just doesn't quite work. For a start, my fingers hurt after even one song, so playing more than a single 5-song set ( Read more... )

So, I didn't really mean for that angry entry to be up for so long. Therefore, I feel I need to do something about it, so I am posting this now. Oh, well - there are worse reasons to post ( Read more... )

September is expensive. It's very inconsiderate of people to lump their birthdays all together. This is even more true of March and, slightly less true of August. Still, it gives me an excuse to shop, which is always good (less good by myself, but still :D ( Read more... )

Right. So that was a week, and I didn't even notice. Or do any work. Like, any. Probably not the best plan, but I suppose I knew that going in.

Mostly, however, this is all a good thing, as I had a fantastic time this week visiting avatar1983 in Germany. Specifically southern Bavaria, which of course means we saw a lot of castle-y things :D On Tuesday we ( Read more... )

I am currently reading abook entitled Language and History in the Early Germanic World by one DH Green, which is a sort of trying experience. The information is actually kind of exciting, especially in that I've already learned about some bits of it etc, but I do occasionally want to follow things up that I might not have encountered before (or ( Read more... )

Ugh why do I fail so hard? Still, I mean. After the initial incidences of fail today.

I haven't done any work at all, and that's pretty bad, since I was actually going to, but then somehow never did? Worthless. Especially since all I've been doing instead is going through and tagging all my LJ entries from the beginning. I'm up to November 2003. ( Read more... )

I have determined that the point of semantic competition between "ghost" and "spirit" was mostly the turn of the 15th century (insofar as it has stopped (it hasn't really)).

I have also begun to wonder whether my text bundle is all-inclusive, ie will I have to pay through the nose for texting avatar1983 internationally for the next 3 weeks? I hope not, and ( Read more... )
