Hello, Insert Name Here!*

[bending_sickle]

Yesterday I played the ljdq.

Today I thought about the Stonehenge Apocalypse/Doctor Who crack fic and had all sorts of ideas about time travel and cybermen and the Winchesters and whatnot. Probably won't have the time or energy to write it till the weekend.

I chatted (in Italian!) with co-workers. Call I still call them that even though I'm a volunteer? Tomorrow I'm going to translate giant walls of text (i.e. the biography of Person) so that will make my brain go smush. On the other hand, since it's a Roman holiday on Tuesday, we're getting Monday off too. Whoot.

I failed at updating my CV or looking for a job or emailing NGOs or checking out iPhone reviewer blogs. *sigh*

Yeah, I got nothin'. Have some links.


Quote of the Day: Terry Pratchett, Jingo

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

The causes of depression: Current theories - "If you are the type of person who has a low opinion of yourself and worries a lot, if you are overly dependent on others, if you are a perfectionist and expect too much from yourself or others, or if you tend to hide your feelings, you may be at greater risk of becoming depressed." ; "Once depressed, it is common for a person to remember earlier traumatic life events, such as the loss of a parent, or childhood abuse, which make the depression worse."
Causes of depression - "...the disorder was three times more common among adopted children whose biological relatives suffered depression."
