I haven't updated in ages and now it's mostly a case of livejournal opening this window for me and me being inspired to tell you that I'm writing all the things! I have published a couple of them online and even sold ONE copy in a month or so (of Bella Despierta, which is an oldie by now and I'm not that impressed with anymore. Even if I do like ( Read more... )

I spent a great month back in Terrassa with my dad and my little sisters, it was genuinely the first time I have not wanted to leave my family home, like, at all. Of course there were a few screaming fights because we have not been replaced with well-adjusted pod people or anything but they were pretty rare. I spent quite a few hours working in my ( Read more... )

Turned in my essays and found myself a new cheaper room with a window settee where I plan to read forever and ever, and also walk to uni from quite easily. Monday I'm moving my stuff and Tuesday I’ll be off to Barcelona for a month to stay with my dad and my little sisters. While there I'm also meant to read a lot about gender and fanfic since that ( Read more... )

I should be writing essays so of course I decided to finally write here about my new shiny laptop. I was going to wait till the economy was more estable but Terabithia killed her fourth charger (maybe i should've known, naming her that, that she would be a bridge of death), only 5 months old, and I snapped. I spent a few days going over specs and ( Read more... )

Gefilte fish

1 kg of white fish or a combination of several white fish (traditionally trout and hake, I use cod now).

4 eggs
250 grams of breadcrumbs (this is to absorb some of the vegetable and fish moisture so sometimes I use a little bit of flour too if I don’t have enough)
½ glass of water
1 tbsp of sugar
2 onions, diced and passed through ( Read more... )

I was going to translate "Salpicón" as "Splash Chicken Salad" because "salpicar" means "to splash" in Spanish but then I checked wordreference and it turns out anglophones think this is a COCKTAIL. Without getting into the hilarious etymology of that word (I suspect somebody came up with it while heavily intoxicated), the reference to parties and ( Read more... )

[41 books] +  [53 short stories = 10 books] + [6 poems] + [56 essays = 5 books] = [56 books]

Fanfic is clearly not included in this list, the numbers are insanely high [equivalent to 109 books of a 100.000 words each], although this year the scales a tipping a little bit more towards books thanks to me starting a degree on English literature. Next ( Read more... )

♥  With the assistance of Irati and Izabela I turned in my two essays. I'm very sleep deprived, though, and should be forgiven any incoherencies. I'm happy the exams aren´t till May, although clearly I won´t be happy in May.

Now, let's talk about those tiny people inside the screen...

ছ   My dad's arriving on Wednesday, hopefully his almost complete lack of English won't hinder him in getting from Edinburgh to Glasgow (fucking Ryanair, as if it wasn't crappy enough, cancelled the Glasgow-Girona route and now there's only Barcelona-Edinburgh left).

ছ   Had a good time at the dragking workshop, although I don’t make a pretty boy ( Read more... )

- ₪ -  Mijal will be here tomorrow, I'm still dealing with the consequences of her idiocy (she booked a flight for Edinburgh instead of Glasgow, which she had to do on the flight back. And a flight for 11 at night on top of that. She will make the last bus to Glasgow by the skin of her teeth). She's bringing me stuff like nesquik (not quite ( Read more... )
