Fruit flies.
Vinegar didn't help, bummer.
On other news, I received unexpected free-time and....I'm not happy at all. That's just wrong.
But goes to prove that when things don't go according to plan, it irks me. -
Resurrection!
Wow. I was looking into something completely different (but not Monty Python this time) and remembered I had this collecting ...(I know there's an adjective that should come right here but for the love of me I can't remember) dust in some forgotten corner of my universe of self-expression. In hindsight, I think not venting out stuff here anymore ( Read more... ) -
Nothing says "Hey summer" like a pretty girl's cleavage in late March.
Yes, it's officially summer here. And summer weather means summer clothing. Going about in town wearing what I consider my light jacket actually makes me seem overdressed. Still, having just emerged victorious from the spring sniffles, I've no desire for Take 2, so I'm holding on to my long sleeves ( Read more... ) -
Coups de cœur resto et modo! (Heartthrobs food & fashion)
Everyone knows gastronomy is very serious business in France. And I've had the pleasure to try all sorts of interesting things but so as to not stray too far from "the moment", I'll shed light on the two things I got to experience last night.
First is les fameux esgargots (snails). I've eaten snails before, of course (oh ho hoo la petite bourgeoise ( Read more... ) -
Deutsch macht noch einmal spaß. Nicht.
German fun for a second time. Not.
I really, really do not like my German teacher right now. Okay, I could argue that this is the price I pay for getting things done the easiest way, but the joke's getting a bit old...
I spent a good while last year trying to demand, argue, complain and plead my teacher to input my grade for one of his classes into ( Read more... ) -
The French way to open terrace season and the "in" things of spring.
We got an awesome sunny day today, so warm you're extremely tempted to wear that spring jacket you know is not warm enough...we went walking with my roommate, there was so many people out and about, you can clearly tell that today is the "official" opening of terrace season.
We walked to the park, there's people wearing in their shirtsleeves around ( Read more... ) -
Trying to understand random stuff sometimes results in defeat.
I figured longer posts are nicer to read when there's pretty pictures that go along with it.
There are (many) times when I feel like I've let something relevant pass me by. Makes me feel really out-of-place.
Today I got hammered real nice twice, firstly by being completely ignorant about the "real" meaning of the concept meta,
and second when I was ( Read more... ) -
It's serious fkn business.
Or sometimes not quite serious enough.
As a translator-to-be I (probably) shouldn't find joy in the errors of others, but sometimes you just got to applaud. I'm not saying I'm a super editor, especially since I've been on break from it for a month, but I like to think that I double-check my work before handing it it, just to make sure the person ( Read more... ) -
Y U DO DIS?
I was bored as death to begin with ( Read more... ) -
Over zere is le château, mais on Tuesdays it iz le closed. / Compu'er sez noo ---.
Went to explore this little town called Vitré the other day. Nice weather, we had lunch sandwiches and all - awesome ( Read more... )
