Gacked from thistlerose:

( Three books meme )

Oh god, I've been neglecting the flist a bit this week... I'm going to read what you guys were up to during the past few days right now ( Read more... )

W00t, I have tickets to go to a performance of Puccini's Madame Butterfly next week! *bounces*

( The Tudors semi-spoilers )

I finally ordered Fahrenheit 451 and We (by Yevgeny Zamyatin) today 'cause I am a sucker for all things Huxley-esque. And are written well, duh. I once heard that We is believed to be the inspiration of Orwell, am I right?

Stephen Fry = love. I was watching his documentary HIV and Me yesterday and once again I realized how much I am in awe of ( Read more... )

I just remembered something that 'happened' to me about four and a half years ago. Having just entered the HP fandom on LJ, I felt a bit overwhelmed by all the talented and lovely people around - perhaps I didn't know how to begin communicating with them online - and that's why I loved posting memes and questionnaires to my journal. Somehow it felt ( Read more... )

I just watched this 1000th documentary on anorexia nervosa and they said some of the featured girls/women secretly took Neurontin.

It's reccing time! These fantastic fics have been accumulating in my memories over the last few days. About time for me to rec them already, methinks.

Phew, I needed to take a break from all those (11th century and modern) Japanese novels and texts I'm reading for my thesis (The Influence of Heian texts on Modern Literature) so I started reading The Last Empress by Anchee Min. Fabulous novel written in a simple but elegant and very symbolic style. Just what I need ( Read more... )

Okay.

I've been taking these new migraine-preventive pills since Monday. Also I've been feeling quite depressed and tired these last three days and I have no strength in my muscles and I feel like a jelly doughnut (Not in JFK's or the dirty sence, mind you).

Time to put two and two together, isn't it?

Another thing that won't help. As if being ( Read more... )

I want to watch Journeyman because well, LUCIUS VORENUS IS SEX.

And I can't because I'm stuck in this little country and it's going to take yeaaaaars before they're going to air it here.

I'll stop the whining now. Maybe I just need to search a download community.

Oh, jacyevans wrote me a Harry/Hermione drabble (DH spoilers) for her icon meme. Go check ( Read more... )
