Okay, then. It's Sunday, I have nothing to do but watch travel documentaries on TV and be lazy in my pajamas, so it's a good time for posting my August reading list. It's not much (four books) but I'm getting closer to the fifty goal!

Let's just go ahead, then.

( We have romance and history and policy and fantasy and I really need to diversify my reading habits. )

Yessssssss!

Sadly, it seems like summer still won't let go fully for a few more weeks but I'm so ready for fall, folks! Unfortunately, there won't be much in the way of fall foliage because the trees have already begun shedding their leaves back in July due to that fucking drought. There are still leaves and if you don't know what you have to look ( Read more... )

Yay! Still really late but not as late as last time. That's gotta count for something, right?

Anyway, July was officially "Oh, hey, let's only read stuff written by women!" month (which is kinda stupid because that should have been March but then again, we really should have more than one Women's History Month a year!) and it worked pretty well. ( Read more... )

Which is, in this case, a good thing ( Read more... )

Ugh. UGH. It's the last day of July, and I finally can bring myself to do the June round-up for my reading challenge. I blame it on the heat and summer and basically the weather. It's been especially bad this year. Physically, I usually don't have a problem with heat (I don't have any cardiovascular problems, don't get dizzy spells or any other ( Read more... )

I just kept thinking "Oh, I'll just make an entry tomorrow" and hahahahahahahahaha, yeah. Which is why there will be four recipes in one entry (yes, okay, I haven't done much cooking from cookbooks since last year. I have done some cooking but most of that was with Kochhaus recipes, not from cookbooks) from four different books. Be prepared ( Read more... )

Oops. I kinda... almost... forgot about this? Or maybe I procrastinated it, that's possible, too. It would be stupid because it's just three books but okay, let's just you know go down to actually doing it and be done with it, too.

So, let's go!
( So, we have Marines and teenagers and war correspondents this month! )

Okay, then, it's dry as bones (apparently, this summer, we only get rain on Sundays, and I'm not even joking) and too often hot as hell (not right now, but both April and May have been the hottest months on record, and June shapes up to be the same) so I decided to take some pictures of this year's gardening adventures before we're not allowed to ( Read more... )

Ugh, I suck. I've been meaning to post this for ages but somehow I always kept forgetting when I had the time. No I actually don't have the time (because I really need to send off at least two or three more job applications before the end of the month) so that's of course the perfect time to finally get around posting my really meagre book count ( Read more... )

Finally, at 18391021 weeks post Head Cold of Doom, I'm back to running regularly three times a week, and I'm kinda proud of myself that I manage to drag myself out even when the sun is beating down and it's getting uncomfortably warm (which, in my case, means everything upwards of 23°C. I'm a wimp concerning heat, sue me).

( In which I rant at length about an obscure ankle problem that's been bugging me for at least two years now. )
