Sickle's Brain Went Buh-Bye, Have Some Bullet Points Instead:

• I got the first quote over on ljdq's Answers. Whoot whoot!


• I've had sea shanties stuck in my head for ages, which is both awesome and annoying because I don't actually know the whole songs. So I've been humming bits of Lukey's Boat, Heave Away, Ramblin' Rover and Donkey Riding over and ( Read more... )

In the afternoon, while my parents went off to the reception in conmemoration of Mexico's independence - El grito - I worked on the Push Fanvid for Supernatural I started over a year now. I'm at minute 2:15 - blessedly past the horrid and endless guitar riff - but there's about 1:37 minutes left, and that's including a repetition-of-lyrics at the ( Read more... )

Life and Times, the Sickle-Lost-Her-Brain Version:

- Still frustrated with Italian course and it's "Let's go slow! Let's spend an hour on these exercises! Let's spend yet another class on articles!" despite it being intensive. Along with two other students, complained about this to the teacher. Apparently, we're only going to learn the present ( Read more... )

I went to two bike shops today and thus got an estimate of what my bike's worth. I've got one guy interested in buying it, so we'll see how my haggling skills go on Saturday. I also think I've got someone interested in my wardrobe, which is awesome. I went to the Hague for a wander about and to see what I could get for some second-hand books, ( Read more... )

Things were better than yesterday, though, in that supreme concentration was not required for menial tasks and the morning's routine was not interrupted by senseless weeping. (Translation: Fail, but not Epic Fail!)- Biked over to Plexus to ( Read more... )

Sickleday Cliffnotes:

- Had peanut butter on toast and experienced culinary heaven. Had chicken made of awesome (but bought fully-cooked from the store) and experienced satiation, which is bliss.

- Knit like a mofo but realized a) yarn is horrendously inappropriate b) pattern is hard c) I may, actually, suck at this and d) I am stuck. Again.

Hermits United. We meet up every 10 years, swap stories about caves. It's good fun. For a Hermit.*

It's taken me almost two hours to identify three lions. My eyes! Oh gods, my eyes. But, on the other hand, I've just discovered that a female from one pride was massively flirting with a male from another pride, and got kicked out of the game by ( Read more... )

In celebration of the death of summer, my room has been taken over by laundry (pending- and damp) as well as a suitcase in the midst of one of its great yearly transitions (the summer-winter exchange, less feared than the storage-travel one ( Read more... )

While exercise is all well and good, I'm a bit tired of ending the day and entering relax-mode at 9 pm. Ye gods, I'm knackered. Also, internet browser still being a pain, not loading whenever it feels like it, so tomorrow I'm running the 'puter through another antivirus.

Yesterday I watched White Noise 2: The Light (2007) ( Read more... )
