1. The hamletic doubt of the week: why does every doctor I meet when doing blood tests assuming that one feels uncomfortable with needles/has to panic/is nervous? I mean, it's not like I actually enjoy it but I don't mind it either, I don't care about needles and I don't panic. But I still haven't encountered anyone who doesn't think I'll freak out ( Read more... )

I'm not setting myself any goals, I just want to see how much do I manage by the end of the year. I'm stealing the rating system from lasamy ♥.

01/10 > utterly devastating
02/10 > bad
03/10 > disappointing
04/10 > half-hearted
05/10 > average
06/10 > okay
07/10 > good
08/10 > very good
09/10 > awesome
10/10 > excellent

... since I still don't know whether the day after tomorrow I'm leaving to spend New Year's Eve with the friends who were here last summer for three days, but I guess it depends on me finding a place on the train and on a couple of other things. Meanwhile I guess I'll unpack, catch up with the Hohoho fics I couldn't read between yesterday and today ( Read more... )

Yay for movie recs! I watched quite some the last two weeks, both in cinemas and on dvd. So, uhm, massive recs post? Click the cut for (probably not in this order) Glendarry Glen Ross, The Shop Around The Corner, Miracle At Sant'Anna, Entre Les Murs, Mamma Mia (yeah, yeah, that one too) and The Sensation of Sight.

( recs! )

1. So, my mother found a discarded laptop which works from one of her colleagues at work and she gave it to me, which means I'll finally manage to work on university stuff at the university. Which is definitely a good thing. Not to mention being able to work on fic while on vacation ( Read more... )

So I'm actually downloading Titanic in order to write crack fic. See what happens when you have the VHS and a broken player? Oh well, I just hope it's done before tomorrow because the thing is eating my brain and I need to know the order in which stuff happened in that movie.

( new records, heroes is back, movies and stuff )

So, thing is that today I went to a retrospective called Venice in Rome, where you basically go to see for a week movies that were at the Venice Film Festival without cuts and in original language. I went to see The Wrestler.

( brief review of the movie and not so brief rant about dumb questionnaires from the production or whatever it is )

Alright, vacation with friends is over and I'm alone in the city again, with a heat that raised up at least three grades in the last week. *sigh* Right, it's August and I'm in Italy and it happens every time, so I should be expecting that and I was but argh, it's becoming unbearable this round. I just hope it cools off a bit soon.

( upcoming vacation, luau catching up is hard, I buy too many cds, the dark knight VERY late impressions and uhm, maybe something else. )

Okay, so I don't know when I'm ever going to get around to those, but I'm taking icon/stuff requests here. If anyone from here who isn't a member there wants anything, there's a special pass ( Read more... )

So yesterday I actually denied studying or doing anything remotely useful by spending the afternoon/evening out hanging out in libraries/going with a friend to the cinema. And since it was finally out here and I heard only good things about it, we went to see 'Once'.

( review (for what it's worth), dubbing rant and stuff )
