It's been a while...

Erm, yes, it really has been a while since my last post. Again! As it is, I never ever started that second paper so that now, there are again two papers waiting to be written during my next holidays...which are fast approaching. Nice thing! Lost the other ones but get new ones soon.
I've been busy making fanart stuff again which is great as I already thought my muse had vanished somewhere...it's been mostly HP and FFX related as I got inspired by Joanne Delany's writings which you can find here. It's mostly in German but it's very good! And as she writes a HP fanfic and a FFX fanfic, which are both terrific, I have been making stuff for her. Luckily, she likes what I'm doing ;)
Tomorrow, there's a presentation about "Bringing Up Baby" to be held but I'm sure it will go well enough even though I'm not that well prepared. That is, I know the film very good but I haven't done so much now to prepare the presentation. But I'm going to do it with another girl so there's someone to help me out if I get stuck.

On a sidenote: I've been elected for that stipend and can go to Wales next year if only I would manage to send this damn form back!

What else happened? My birthday came and went quite agreeably, along with some nice pressies, big sis' is happy about having passed her final diploma exam but out of strange reasons, I haven't talked to her since. Guess we've both been busy! I also finally managed to go to that fitness studio a friend of mine insisted of dragging me to...and it's nice. At least I don't have to have such a bad consciousness anymore as I do something for my health...even though I'd rather to some dancing or so but until I find something there, I might as well do this now. Some people of the English theatre group I was part of in school are going to form a new group and I was invited. Good for me! Only that it looks like a very complicated play we're going to do in that it's demanding a complex stage and about all female characters that have to say more than just three sentences are going around half-naked one time at least! Maybe I should go to the fitness studio even more often ;)
Yah...that's about it. My life is busy enough but not really exciting I fear...*g*
So bye for today...and I really should go to bed anyway!

Has anyone seen my holidays?

They just vanished...so if you've seen them, could you please be so kind as to bring them back???

Holidays are gone and I'm left with still too much work. I finished my paper on Winnie-the-Pooh just in time but haven't even started the other paper yet...very bad me!
But all in all, life is a great thing and I'm surprisingly contented at the moment. I wonder how long that will go on but I hope for some time.

I'll apply for study abroad for one semester and I hope I'll be chosen for the stipend. It would be so cool, even though I'm as much terrified by the thought as I am thrilled! I guess if I'm chosen, I won't be able to eat much for quite some time before I go...my stomach doesn't react very good to nervousness...

Well...my brain refuses to give me anything more to write, so that's that for today.

Am still here....

...though I'm going to visit my dear sis for two weeks soon...on monday, to be precise. Got to pack my things. Actually I'm also in the mood for it...am just slightly depressed because I got to go to a b-day party this evening and I don't want to. I hardly know the girl who's celebrating and since I don't drink I wonder how the others will be when they've drunk a bit...or more...but I'll probably leave early. Must think of an excuse...

I finished reading "Jane Eyre" and it's a great book. I finally read something for my own pleasure again. Now I got to start my papers. One is for my media studies about the film "Calendar Girls" and the aging aspect within, the other is for English, Literary Theory about reading "Winnie-the-Pooh" with reception theory...not too bad subjects but still...it's work when I'd rather have real holidays...

See you around, ::Yeoyou::

Happy New Year!

Alright, I'm a bit late with that...a whole week! Anyway, I should prepare uni stuff for tomorrow so I thought I might as well write a new entry here ; )
Nothing important happened so there's really no point in writing. I only found out that I'm much better at Sudoku when I'm half asleep...same as with English...why can't Uni be when I'm half asleep...although, I'm almost always half asleep in uni! Hm...
Christmas has been nice and uneventful (is that a word...I'm not yet enough half asleep!)

I finished Samit Basu's "The Simoqin Prophecy" yesterday and am very sad about it. Fantastic book. Fantasy with little dots of scifiish nature (or scifish?). Most of all I liked the style of the book and all the allusions to other myths, well-known fairy tales and legends and newer media phenomena. Seems like I've become a hypertextuality-junkie *lol*.
I also read "Grendl" by the German author Frank Schweizer who is (or was - but he still lives!) a lecturer about German and philosophy. That was a hilarious book as well but far too short for my liking. Don't think it had even 200 pages! It's about the end of the world and what comes after it.

SGA is now on youtube with new eps...well, on scifi but since I don't get that and can't buy the eps in the iTunes store because I'm not part of that great region 1, youtube is my only chance! (My lecturer would criticise that last sentence. Too much inbetween!! But as I said I'm still too much awake...) Anyway, I'm so happy that the new eps are shown now. Second half of Season 4. The ep was a good one though I'm not fan of big space battles. Most of the time I forget who's who anyway. But it had some nice character moments even though my dear darling Lorne wasn't in it. But he's gonna be in the next one, so that's good news!

Nice band I found within my large collection of CDs is "Melotron". German and electronica. I've been listening to them for the past week or so.

Well, now I really should get back to Literary Theory and Semiotics and see what it's all about. Wish "you" (you know who you are if any you is there at all) all the best!
