State of the Asylum (also: GIP it's truuue squeee)
Hello, erm, eeep, 's me. Been off the radar for too long again. I really must watch out I don't resign to using the internet for non-communicative purposes only. Like watching youtube, reading articles and discussions by people more clever (or more idiotic) than me, and avoiding even opening my emails at times... sigh sigh lament lament ( Read more... ) -
Getting back into that whole LJing business...
Erm, yes.
So I totally forgot my wallet at home today (memo: never ever go shopping with anything but your rucksack again, 'cos that's where the thing belongs) and faced with the decision to either risk the wrath of the Eurobahn or that of Boss, I chose the former. Which, after sweet-talking the conductor and the ticket lady, resulted having to ( Read more... ) -

Me, meself and me again
Hi there everybody - I know this is getting repetetive, but somehow I don't find the energy to post. Which frightens me, because I seem to be becoming even more of a loner than I have already been anyway, and more than I ever thought I could. I don't really know what measures to take against this, but I will have to find some, sooner or later, cos ( Read more... ) -
Checklist
Dear Diary,
I know I've been horrible to you. Let's see if I can make up for it.
In China, it is considered the height of impoliteness to:
- not feed your guests a few kilos of rice after a twenty-odd course meal
- feed your guests less than two times a day with a twenty-odd course meal
- not tell your guests the exaggerated precise value of the ( Read more... ) -
Late night confession
It's four a.m., I've got three hours of sleep left and just finished reading Victorien Sardou's La Tosca, the play that spawned the opera. In French. Call me insane ( Read more... ) -
Blahs, but thank God for friends documenting my travels
Hello there, LJ land. Yes I have been back a few days and I didn't sleep all the time (but quite a lot of it), but I've somehow found it difficult to reconnect again. Even now I'm just trying to start and still clueless about the best way to proceed, seeing as my f-list doesn't track back as far and all. Also there is this very distinct feeling of ( Read more... ) -
I'm back!
Dear LJ, it's bloody amazing to see you again! I've been up for almost 48 hours, so it's sleep now.
Two things, though: A big fat glompy thanks to dear yakalskovich who chatted with me on gmail several times and posted some stuff on her LJ - go check it out if you haven't. Ans second - three weeks can pass like a blur, but it's an awful lot of skips on the f- ( Read more... ) -

T minus two and a bit
Hello everyone,
I hope you're all alive and well. I'm stressed and extremely wibbly. China. Saturday morning. So not prepared. I spent Monday night until today at my parents', then went right to rehearsal, in which we predictably stressed each other out and had one or two "I'll go for your throat next" moments. Not surprising, really, still not ( Read more... )
