"Grammar is a dish best served having carefully read the instructions over and over until you know them by heart."

^Wald said this a week or two ago when we were talking, and I decided that I wanted to save it for reference. Since it's true.

But argh, languages. I have been neglecting Norwegian so badly over the last couple of months, ever since ( Read more... )

Managed to get some significant work done on a scene that was giving me trouble, so I'm really pleased about that. I feel like this thing has been going so slowly; it's partly because I haven't had a lot of time for working on it, though. But I really should put more effort into that. I think I could find more time for it if I tried ( Read more... )

So, I've started listening to Welcome to Night Vale. I'm able to wear earphones at work, and since I've been getting a little tired of my playlists, I decided to try something different. So far, it's exactly what I expected it to be, so I'm pretty pleased. Well, it's actually better than I expected ( Read more... )

So, I have a new book of poetry... Usually I don't enjoy poetry very much, which I guess is a little weird considering I used to write it all the time. It's just that I usually prefer epic (and old) poetry, and short/recent stuff doesn't usually interest me.

It's a collection of work by Olav H Hauge, and I love it. I came across his work on the ( Read more... )

Some douchebag was having a party in their yard last night until like 4 fucking AM and it was loud as hell and I did not get a wink of sleep and now I'm cranky. To be honest, I probably should have called the cops or... something. I mean, that's a damn noise violation right there. Ah, well, next time. Because I really don't think this will be the ( Read more... )

Well, let's see.

nordipalooza is all prepared and ready for the 2013 fest. Signups open on the 13th. I'm going to have to put my nose to the grindstone as far as getting prompt lists made up - I can recycle stuff from the 2012 Nordipalooza and Eurofunk, but still, making the lists up is a chore. So, that needs to be done before the 28th. Very doable, but ( Read more... )

It snowed so much last night that I could barely open the door. I took one look at the driveway, and the snow that was heaped up so high that it was practically over the top of my boots, and considered just saying "fuck it" and staying home. It would've been nice to just curl up under some blankets with some coffee and watch Star Trek all day, or ( Read more... )

Nothing interesting happening, as usual. Might go downtown with mum if she is feeling well enough. She has been out of the hospital for a while now, but she's still feeling sick... at this point I don't know if it's because of the infection or because of the medication is on. I'm so frustrated with the situation because I can't do much to make it ( Read more... )

I'm tired, so y'all get point-form notes.

✿ Work's going well. On the second day I was having major second-thoughts because that day did not go well at all and I came home rather upset, but... for the most part, it's been fine. It's still too early to tell whether I'm cut out for this job or not, but on the upside, I'm learning a lot. It's been ( Read more... )
