And it ends.
I've finished reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, and I must say I liked it. Surely it's not a grand masterpiece, but none of the books is, in my opinion. They're all good, though, and a nice, enjoyable easy reading. I love decent books that allow you to immerse yourself in the story for hours and hours - I used to read the books at my ( Read more... ) -
I... fap? *fap fap*
I just got a message about this unfortunate-named business, ifap service, with the slogan, "ifap - knowing what helps".

Common sense, there is none.
This is tragic and fucking stupid and I'm still mortified.

...Thinking about it, maybe it's more scary than anything to wait for the result to show. Ahhhh! -
Thank you, weather.
When I left home three days ago it was 40 degrees. Celsius. Ahhhhhh! (Forecasts actually "promised" 35). We were absolutely boiling in our flat! @__@ Now it's 26 or 28 and I got a sore throat from some tiny bits of windy weather *and probably the airconditioned train). Woe! -
Interesting. (Recurring topic.)

I... don't know how it happened, but after being mildy horrified and amused by the first performance in the semi-finals (The face! The smile! The hair!! O_O;;;) I was rather fascinated by today's (no link yet).
