Okay, not exactly because I managed to write twenty pages for the thesis since last Monday, and some of it even makes sense and probably doesn't need to be edited too heavily (yes, I adopted the NaNoWriMo approach for writing this sucker: write, write, write, you can edit it when you're done), unfortunately, I hit a major snag in the road: I. Have ( Read more... )

I'm currently watching Mistresses (without being aware of the fact that in later seasons, Kavan Smith will make an appearance even though technically, I actually knew about that and long story short, sometimes, I'm really dumb.) and it's the episode with the Heidi Klum swimsuit model doppelganger, yes?

Twenty years, everyone. We had to wait twenty years for this. The cinema where I watched the first one doesn't even exist anymore. I honestly thought it was a joke when they announced the sequel a couple months ago but OMFG, it is here.

Originally, I'd wanted to post something about the new TFA trailer last night but then I realized I didn't have a Star Wars icon and ended up spending 2 1/2 hours on looking for fitting pictures and fiddling with image resizing and textures and stuff and then it was 0300 and I decided that it was about time to go to bed after all.

( Just me and a couple thoughts on the trailer. Yes, THAT trailer. )

I should be working on the presentation on female soldiers in visual media I'm supposed to be giving on Sunday (my sister invited me to be a speaker for the left-wing/alternative feminist mini-festival she's been organising with a couple of people when two speakers they'd originally asked to come had to drop out and I gave her two options: female ( Read more... )

I'm thinking about it, though. And here's why ( Read more... )

I might finally get the Star Wars movie I've been waiting for. I just looked it up again, it's been nine fucking years since I started writing the Jenna's War stories about a group of Rebel infantry soldiers and nine years since I started to get a bit tired of Jedi and bounty hunters (oh God I just really fucking hate bounty hunters I never want to ( Read more... )

Because I just had my first seeding session (no pictures yet because it would just be soil in pots which doesn't sound particularly exciting if you ask me). I put the following into soil:

• water cress
• licorice tagetes
• aniseed hysop
• tropaeolum

So, winter is (meteorologically speaking) over (probably not for you guys in the US Mid-West and East Coast, huh?) which means: new decoration at Casa de Gila \o/ I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to make yet another door wreath but last weekend, I finally had a last minute idea for a wreath and dragged Mom to the craft store (don't worry, Mom loves ( Read more... )
