Hi,

this is a little experiment to see if I can now actually post from this cute, little pendrive.

*crosses fingers that it works*

Happy Birthday, shetiger!!

Hope you're having a wonderful, joyful day.

*hugs*

Being a good girl (*g*), I sent a postcard from Austria to garettojaksuwho recently moved, winning the 'first postcard' contest and a prize. The prize was a very funny video, so I thought I'd share.

Amazon.co.uk is having great sales right now and I'm considering buying the whole Star Trek TOS.

Season-1
Season-2
Season-3

My problem is that, while other websites specify all the languages on the dvds (in this case English, French, German, Italian, Spanish) Amazon doesn't give this kind of information. Still I need dvds with the Italian version as well. So I was wondering if anyone had bought them from Amazon uk and can tell me if they do have the Italian trackl. Or if you know a way to verify this.

Thanks in advance.

So, I'm back from my short trip to Austria. Actually I've been back for three days now, but have been feeling blue... I miss _bettina_ and _strange_music_. I miss the peace I had during the trip. I miss The Chair.***

I really hope we will be able to do another meeting, and, as I said, you must come to Italy as well.

*goes off looking for a chair substitute*


***Beautiful chair at Bettina's house which I just love, because I could nestle into it and it was a perfect fit.

Happy Birthday, jenlev!!!

Thank you for bringing calm and peace in every day with your posts and pictures. 

May this day and the whole next year be full of happiness. 

*hugs you tightly*

 

 

 

 

In three days I will be on holiday in Austria visiting  

_bettina_  and _strange_music_!!! 

I can't wait! I know it's going to be great!!

As for the title of this post, if anyone wants a postcard just send me an e-mail at zuraide@tin.it , ok?

 

Happy Birthday, oceana_!!

I wish you all the best and to start off the day with the right foot...

*offers cake*

... I meme.

I am a Snapdragon What Flower Are You?

So, I subscribed to the book exchange thingy that you can find here (you might want to participate next time :) ).

As I find myself in need to explain to the person who will send me a book what I read and what kind of books I would run away from, I thought it might be a good idea to make a post about it. So here we are.

( me and books )

I am one day late* for this, but

Happy Birthday, troyswann! I've read it was a great day and so here I'm wishing you that this whole year will be as marvelous.


And, this time in time,

Happy Birthday, tafkarfanfic! May it be a day full of happiness, love and fun!



*I'm telling you, internet lateness is a clinical condition... I'm never late in rl. Never! So how come that I'm always late online?? *is sad*

and there’s more wonderful messages out there! Go check it out!

 

Also, thanks to who sent the message for me.

 

I’m still meeping. I’m just covering it up a little bit better.  

yes, posting from work...bad me...but c'mon it's for a good cause, I'm spreading the love...

ETA: Yes, I never used the online thing to post my entries, and I don't know how to... ooops? 

 

I was going to say lots of lovely things, but I made a mistake: I watched Torchwood... meep... meeeeeeeep

Lovely things postponed to the weekend.

Busy meeping right now.

Okay.

Bye.

ETA: there are, of course, spoilers in the comments.

First of all, before I forget, thank you to whomever nominated three of my stories for the Stargate Awards. I don't really know what to say, except thank you.

Second, I gave the exam of English Culture 2 today, the one I was worried about because of how my opinions and those of the prof are quite different. Well, not only I got another 30, but at one point she had to say 'sorry, you were right' and I will consider this - even if I know that it wasn't like this - as an apology for all her ideas about Star Trek. Damn, I feel better.

Finally, as a prize for passing the exam I went to the cinema and saw Irina Palm. It's a very intense movie, it made me laugh, it made me cry. If you haven't seen it, give it a shot.

And with this I'm off to bed. Only one more exam to go now!

Ah, no, I knew I was forgetting something! I've posted a story over at sga_flashfic. It's gen and pretty dark, but I'm quite happy with it. You can find it here.

Okay, now I can really go to bed.

Nighty night.

*exits*

I have no words that would do justice to this story. It's SG1 S10.

I can only say that troyswann 's writing is always a thing of beauty and this story is one of her best.

Go read it.

In the Flesh and in the Clod

I passed!! I can't believe it. Not only I passed, but I passed with a very good grade: 26.

I was so worried, I mean, I know I made mistakes because I was nervous that day. I wrote my name wrong on two of the paper! This should give you an idea of the level of my nervousness. :)

But even with the nerves and the fear of failing (brought on by lot of people telling me that in no way I would be able to learn Japanese on my own without going to class) I made it!!!

*jumps happily*



PS: transmission with actual content, hopefully even fandom-related content, will be back as soon as possible.

Okay, why is my journal changing style on its own accord?

Made it into the new Year.

Internet connection problem finally solved. Telecom changed the setting(from 4mb to 20mb) without asking if I wanted them to or not... and without checking that my area was up to sustain a 20mb connections. It wasn't. Hence the continually failing connection for 4 months. Now they have reduced it to 7, after making me pay for the change from 20 to 7 and taking away the connection again to do so. I'm starting to wonder if people at this company are selected on a "the more stupid the better" criteria....

Anyway.

New year (and by the way even if with terrible delay, Happy New year to everyone!) started in a not very reassuring way. I gave the Japanese written text and I'm waiting the result. Problem is I think I failed it. I was way too nervous. Even though I have discovered that I have studied and know stuff not from the first year course, but up to the third one...

Well, I guess I will have to wait and see.

In the meantime I'm preparing another text, English Culture 2, and a part of it is about television and how to study it and... I'm not sure, but I think the book they are having us studying is outdated. Some things are still useful, but the mentality is outdated. Title is How to study television by Keith Selby and Ron Cowdery. Anyone knows it?

Okay, back to studying.

Oh, and I'm still behind with all the shows...

But February will come and then I will have time!

*looks dreamily at a future with half hours of free time*
