My last entry was a week ago, and since then I've enjoyed my (I think) well-deserved holidays. Coincidentally, my parents enjoyed their second week of holidays in my brother's holiday apartment on the island not far from where I live, so I joined them for the week.

I love my new kindle. I read more books in the last month than in any month before. This week I also found out that AO3 lets you download fanfiction in the right format for kindle. It's glorious. Not least because the Thor fandom has produced some extraordinarily well-written storie with 2o.ooo words or more.

My dreams are getting exhausting again ( Read more... )

I decided to start a list of all the books I've read for no other reason than that I feel like it XD.

Back from Hamburg, pictures and a larger post about it will follow this week. Let's have one picture as a preview.

That's Good Evening for all of you who can't speak Swedish.

We had to get up way too early today, but we managed, and then the boys picked us up, and we drove to the ferry, which was a smooth ride as you could wish for. It felt like taking the train, really. No waves whatsoever. And we could enjoy the brilliant sunshine, which is always a plus. ( Read more... )

I finally, finally have my Richard Hammond books! Yeah me! Just in time for our holiday trip to Sweden. Thank God. I was really worried I wouldn't get them in time, and then what would have I read? It's not that I don't have other books to read, mind you, but I really, really want (like "want. now. why are you keeping the books from me, cruel ( Read more... )

I'm quite obviously back from the weekend with my parents, and it was nice.

I now have more mosquito bites on my legs than fingers on my hands, and on Sunday my legs were swollen and hurt like nobody's business, but it's getting better now. And how did I get the bites, you may ask? By standing outside the church in Koserow waiting for the play "The ( Read more... )

Heute um 9:46 hab ich City of Fallen Angels von Cassandra Clare von der Buchhandlung abgeholt, drei Stunden AT-Vorlesung, eine Stunde auf der Parkbank mit Cappu, zwei Stunden Phonology-Seminar, einen Nachmittag bei den Mädels, einen gescheiterten Versuch Der letzte Bulle zu gucken, unzählige SMS mit maddle (danke, dass du so durchgehalten hast mit meinen ( Read more... )

I actually laughed tears reading Lost in Translation: Misadventures in English Abroad by Charlie Croker. I'ts exactly what it says in the title, a collection of horribly mangled translations, wtf?-sentences, I-have-no-idea-what-that-even-means-phrases, who provide neverending laughter.

It's freaking cold, and I'm not amused. Yesterday I spent five minutes in front of the German Philology Institute searching for my bike. I couldn't identify it because the snow made every bike look alike. *headdesk* I don't like snow. I don't like the cold. I don't like the weather forecast telling me how freaking cold it will get tomorrow.
