* Rose Walker, in SANDMAN #62: "The Kindly Ones: 6" by Neil Gaiman

Random Points Along the Sickle Line:

• I'm currently reading House Rules by Jodi Piccoult (now with podcast!), and I've reached the point where I'm just devouring the thing. It's a really interesting story about a teenage with Asperger's syndrome who's accused of murder. Although I'm rarely into crime novels, this one has a large dash of forensic science as the main character is fascinated by the subject and that aspect of it is one I can really get into. Curiously, I'm also following the law aspect of it quite well and even enjoying it, even though I'm not usually into the intricacies of courts and lawyers and judges and prosecuters and so on. I keep trying to figure out the whodunnit of the novel, much like the other book of hers I've read, Plain Truth. I'm almost at the Big Reveal part of the novel \o/


• I've gotten all five of the fanmixes for Time We Saw a Miracle all set up except for the final file editing and posting. That was a lot of work, but I'm really happy with them.


• There's four people from whom I'm waiting to hear from, and have been waiting for going on a month now. ( Read more... )


• The week hasn't been fantastic. Nothing productive was actually achieved, drama was had, and German kicked my ass. However, on the plus side? There's people I can count on, and those people are my darlings. Except seschat. She's my squishy. ♥

In other news, I wrote a letter in German. I think I also broke the word order and a couple declinations. Help? Point and laugh?

Zumba today was awesome, although I was uncoordinated again for the bits where left arms and right feet have to do things together. I dripped sweat, and I'm not the sweating kind! I've failed in my google-fu to find my favorite song of the class.

Einstein yesterday was pretty brilliant. ( Sociality! )

Music For the Masses:

I've discovered Mademoiselle K. I love Jalouse (and the video's brilliant). I also think I should take Ca Me Vexe as my retroactive battle cry, back when I was feeling that way. Embedded below is a song about not knowing whether you're more an XX or an XY.

We're on Day 2 of Student Life (i.e. Sickle's working on her report, yays!). We're also starting Week 2 of Back In Holland (a.k.a. I Miss My Boy!). Not so much with the yay.

And I've been coughing so much and so often my ribs are bloody tired and sore.

Don't really know what to say, guys. I'm slowly adapting to life back in Holland (or life back as the sucky version of me, which...sucks).

Apparently I can only write about my day once. As in, if I send a detailed email about my days, I can't post about it, or write in my diary about it. "It's been written already!", my head says. "Don't make me go over it all over again!"

I'm sorry to say I haven't started working on the amboseli blog - and my brother had the audacity to say that no one'd care to read it now that I'm back in Holland. Jerk. ...oh gods I hope he's wrong. But! I'm gonna.

In other news...it's still cold in the university's computer labs. Grr. Tomorrow have meeting with supervisor (ye gods save me!).

And oh yeah, Elisa's bloody leaving for Japan in less than two weeks!!!. Sucky! Very sucky! I haven't seen her since end of November! Selfishly, also, once she leaves I'll be pretty much alone in Leiden. Am very good friends with Willemijn (research buddy), but she's a) in Amsterdam and b) has a social group of her own. So yay.

...I am so behind on LJ, it's ridiculous. I'm only caught up on metaquotes and lienne. Mah priorities, let me show you them!

Television-wise, there's Jon Stewart, Lost, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Heroes, Ashes to Ashes and Supernatural to catch up on. House and Bones are a bonus. CSI if I have loooaaaads of time. Torchwood if it's there. Wowza. I've been gone a while.

Ah, screw it. It's 5 o'clock, I'm going home. Lunch and Lost, here I come!

This is my third Update page open. One's Links of the Day (or Weeks) and the other is another meta of an Ongoing Post. Because I'm a freaky pack-rat, 's why. I realize I'm been utterly suckety at posting recently, but honest to Pete I've been busy. Plus, having those Update pages open and incomplete sort of sucks the life out of me.

I'm just now having supper**, 'cause we had a House Meeting, wherein us flatmates discussed annoyances and tasks. That started at 8:30 pm. Most of it was delightful chatting, resulting in my mentally exclaiming, "I love my flatmates!" (Well, except for the stint of, "Don't leave, I want to smoke a cigarette! Don't want to smoke it alone!" which to me translates as, "Sit and inhale carcinogens! I demand it!" without so much as an "Do you mind if I smoke." But maybe I'm being particularly grouchy because my clothes still stinks like a giant ashtray from hell thanks to this weekend's activities. Whe, long parenthesis.) I do not love the firealarm, which is beeping, even when the battery's taken out. So I'll be having a restless and nervous night, full of beeping. Le suck.

What else have I been doing? Been editing my draft, occasionally spazzing out 'cause I've got say 2 articles which are Courchamp et al. 1999 and I didn't distinguish between them in the draft. So now I need to go through 'em and figure out what info came from which. In general, though, it's pretty good. I'm also thinking of putting in some pictures (See previous post's Links of the Day), 'cause pictures are neat.

I also realize I haven't posted my pictures of Belgium (or Tulips), but I swear, I'm going to do it. I even tried uploading them over the weekend, but 1) inernet death and 2) photobucket death.

I don't quite know what I'm going to do with myself this week, TV-wise. I mean, there's no Lost or Doctor Who, and I've gone through the finales of all the shows I used to watch. (Well, except CSI, which is tonight's viewing.) My first Bones viewing in ages, and it starts off with Booth's funeral. I was ready to hit someone (until matters cleared up a bit). 'Cause I love Booth, y'all.***
