not a real update
First: I'll be in in Boscamberville the weekend of July 4 (July 2 to 6) and it's going to be awesome since I defend July 1. Mainly I want to drink a lot and watch tons of Doctor Who / Torchwood, so if you're willing to help with either of these, drop me a line.
So I've been thinking a fun thing to do once I move would be to take random classes (one ( Read more... ) -
addiction
I'm only through with 3 seasons of Doctor Who and at the beginning of Season 2 of Torchwood but how come no one let me know about these shows earlier? They're like the best combination of science, science fiction, aliens, time travel, sex, and British accents imaginable. *swoon* -

some potential facebook status updates
mollishka is thinking that a day trip to LA a few days before going to Germany works remarkably well for getting on the correct time zone before leaving.
mollishka has had a very good but very sleepless week. And a half.
mollishka is looking forward to vacuuming her apartment at 4 or 5 am as a farewell present to her upstairs neighbors.
mollishka is surprised by the lack of recent ( Read more... ) -
