I fail at this lj thing
So, I dunno how to phrase this properly because either it doesn't happen to English-speaking folks much or I've never heard/read about it. So let's see if I can type a sentence that doesn't sound too awkward. If it does, you'll just have to remember I'm still like four years away from actually becoming a translator so any mistakes on my part are ( Read more... ) -
WTF Yahoo
Why you shutting down delicious? WHY? Figures the day after I finally sign up after all these years of lurking you announce you're shutting it down.
Now how are we nerds going to keep track of fanfic recs and stuff? -
HOLIDAYS
Summer be here, y'all! Actually it's winter for most of you, but for me it's summer, which means classes are over, and guess what -- I passed! I've actually survived my first year of college. I can hardly believe it myself ( Read more... ) -
Mini-update
My computer's at the repair shop, AGAIN. Turns out, when they changed my motherboard they forgot to change the clock's inner battery or something, which is what was causing my laptop to think it was the eighties.
I'll be back to posting and commenting regularly as soon as I get my laptop back. Just wanted to make that clear. -
Woe is me, and also, ASoIaF
My modem broke the other day. The light won't even turn on. D:
Right now I'm home with my folks, so I have wi-fi, but back at my apartment I don't get any Internet access at all if I don't have my modem. To make matters worse, my laptop's motherboard had to be replaced recently, so I can't exactly ask for a new modem right now. Well, I can, but I'd ( Read more... ) -
D8
(Before I get to the D8 part of this post, I actually managed to complete a translation of something fannish today! Go me! It's a -Latin- Hetalia fanfic, though, so I'm not uploading it here because most of my f-list doesn't even know what Hetalia is.)
Ack, I have a test next Monday. Linguistics. Is it sad that the only love/hate relationship in my ( Read more... ) -
The Big Read
There's a book meme going around, which I stole from berserker. It goes like this: The BBC compiled a list of the best-loved novels in the UK, and apparently it's estimated that most people have only read 3 out of the 100 books listed here.
The ones in bold are the ones I've read. A grand total of 23, I'm afraid. The ones I've underlined are the ones I'm ( Read more... ) -
Die Welle
Just saw the 2008 German film Die Welle, and wow. Talk about mind-blowing. I'm sure everyone and their mother has already seen it, but if you haven't, do. It's bloody brilliant.
The film's axiom is, basically, that a movement such as Nazism is still possible. That any group of people at any given time, and given the right conditions, can end up ( Read more... ) -
Stupid computer clock is stupid
On a scale of one to ten, how bad is it when your computer's clock resets itself every time you turn on the computer? -
To-Do List
I'm the sort of person who makes New Year resolutions before the year ends, I guess.
Short-term goals.
