Well! Talk about time flying. It's down to the last period of university, now, and I assume there's a lot of things I probably should be doing instead of writing here that I ought to be doing, insofar as getting a degree is concerned ( Read more... )

Well, time flies. I think it's about time I actually post something here, too! What's happened in a month? Well, there was a Christmas vacation during which I played some weird video game about world-destroying mimes, university started, and, oh yeah, there was this tournament ( Read more... )

So, I managed not to write an entry in all of January again! Well, I think I really would have finished this one post, if WitS and the... handy workload it involved had not inevitably gotten in the way. Beside of which... for purposes of future reference, this is really ideally put here, since sadly it's just about the best I could possibly tell ( Read more... )

Ahh, who would have thought - it's been a whole month of actual full-time work now, trekking across Finland, digging ancient sites! This feels... odd, I suppose. On one hand, a lot has happened, but at the same time, it doesn't feel that long a time at all. All the same, I find myself in a bind as to how to describe this. Yet I must, after all, ( Read more... )

Well, it's really been some three weeks again now, and no wonder, because the word "busy" is starting to seem like an understatement on this side. Between translating Akkadian literary epics, reading course literature on the historical and theoretical background of the museum as an institution, early-morning bouts with cheap mapmaking programs, ( Read more... )

I've managed to hide from my journal quite for a while again. As it turns out, things have been afoot, in a sense, but instead of writing about things like awesome thunder storms and roleplaying cons, the thing I actually wanted to get written was the results of my latest foray into the world of RPGs - which, as it turned out, is Shadow Hearts: ( Read more... )

So, I caved in and went to see the Order of the Phoenix ( Read more... )

Well, we finally have some real snow and temperatures around here. Ahh, how I have missed thee, winter of -15°C! It's so nice to see the ground all white again. Of course, it does throw something of a wrench on my plans to bike to university all winter - I tried it today, and it was a touch more chilly than I prefer for a relatively long biking ( Read more... )

Ah, has it been more than a week since I last updated again? I guess there's no real reason, since it's not like I haven't had some free time, but I suppose I've either had very little to say or been otherwise engaged. Such is life; rarely 'tis so that one had exactly the time one needs and wants, but no more. But an entry is necessary, I suppose, ( Read more... )

This is not a true New Years' entry; that shall come tomorrow, I imagine. Instead, this entry is about Rule of Rose, which I finished just now. Because this game is... something else. Resident Evil is scary, because you're in a mansion overrun by zombies. Silent Hill is scary, because you're alone in a confusing world full of horrible demons that ( Read more... )
