This is the live

Dear next-door neighbours,

no it is not cool to suddenly blast music so loud that the next block even can hear every word of the lyrics at 4.00am in the morning.
And furthermore it is not okay to then go ahead and argue with your girlfriend, or whoever that squeaky voice was, about the volume of the music.
There are other people living around, even if it doesn't seem like if because the place is so bloody QUIET all the time.

No love
me

I went to bed early yesterday (which btw is one of the reasons I am so behind with my flist. Sorry guys) to catch up on the sleep deficit. It was a good plan and I had, for once, no problems falling alseep.
I even had nice dreams until 4.00am and until so idiotic drunkensomething decided to play hardcore rock and wake uop every single person around. I mean I appreciate that someone tried to do somehting but the constant jumps between loud and slightly less less and no music at all for almost an hour was not really helping matters. Police was around at one time, so I guess someone called them. I would have done it if had gone on.

I was feeling okay on the way to talk to my prof, which turned out to be a useless act since she has her office hours tomorrow and not today. I was awake and feeling okay, so I went to get some more things done at the library. Unfortunately it was not the Brain today but the *new* JFK library. New as in newly re-opened after the construction work that was donw to the whole building. The problems is, they are not finished by any means. Not at all. So it was loud and sticky (because this time the AC was not on at all. So I didn't freeze to death but couldn't breath.. yay?). And they had a huge water leak in all of the bathrooms, like water not only leaking but running down the walls and stairs in some kind of little waterfalls. Joy. Oh and the security guy was working on the door, freaking alarm sounded every few minutes.

I don't really know what happened but it kind of it me. I was about to fall alseep there. My head was *this* close to hitting the desk and it was about to explode at the same time. I mean I actually managed to get some things done and I really hope they'll be enough for the exam on Monday but still it wasn't such a productive day. Not as much as I wished it would be.
Slept for two hours when I got home and now I am trying to catch up with LJ, emails (for those who are interested, no answer from NBC yet.) and get more exams stuff done. But really, I am drained.

Yesterday was better. I did get more stuff done and I managed to go and watch "Hancock". I liked it. It was good for that kind of action movie.

Photo meme thingy, you can still ask me to take pictures of things.

Someone asked for a picture of my favourite place in town. I never thought this would be such a hard task, because there are a lot of places I liked to be at or in but I couldn't really say which one of them is my favourite. I could tell you my fav places in London or Barcelona or even in California but here... it's hard to decide.

Obama will be here on the 24th and now they are arguing about whether they should allow him to speak in front of the Brandenburg Gate or not. Some people fear it would look like the government is preferring one of the candidates.
D'uh.

FINALE!!!!!!!

Holy Shit.
Not such a good game but still... they did it.

*bounce*

And shit it's loud around here.

ETA: Seems like the team will be in Berlin again, no idea if it applies to both cases (win or not) but it would be cool to do it again. This time it will be a Monday, so maybe not so many people (yeah right.. *snorts).

Josi? Petschan asked where my twin was today.. *grins*
Was good that I was there today, he totally forgot to ask for a room and wanted me to take the consultation in september.
I had to remind him that the exam was July. So he wrote everything down.. again.

still have to decide what to do about NBC.

Well, not really since "The Ark of Truth" is dated to this year.
But I forgot why I used to watch SG-1 and this reminded me of the many reasons.
I think back and realise that Supernatural actually isn't the first show I have been following right from the start, it's just the first fandom I followed from the beginning (I usually got into fnadoms that already existed before SPN).
SG-1 has the honor of being one of the first shows I really watched from start to end (older shows actually followed later.. mostly due to reruns).
I forgot how snarky, bitchy and hilariously funny SG-1 could be... They kind of never took themselves all that serious and that especially during the last years.
"The Ark of Truth" is no exception from that and I actually found myself laughing out loud a couple of times. Just what I needed today.
But I still find Julian Sands kind of creepy...

Guess what I got yesterday? Right. My CD.
Wheee.. with a huge sticker on it saying "Deliver!!!!"
I guess that means someone messed up the last few days. Thank God it worked out though.

I actually got some things done today. University-wise. I am just not really sure if I am reading the right things. I am slightly confused here.
Am alone at home again for the next three days, so I guess I'll have the space and nerve to actually get more things done. I really need to because time is running out.
I was actually contemplating of staying the whole next two days holed up and not leave the house but I just realised that I have to actually go shopping if I want to have something to drink.
The prospect of leaving the house with temps up tp 33°C isn't very appealing though. I could take the car and go around 8 or 9pm, might be late enough for the heat to be somewhat less oppressing.

And one of these days I should maybe go to the pool again.

Okay I need a little help here.
First I need to find a second (or better two) topics for my British Literature oral exam.
They don't have to be too complex, just some ideas about topics which might be good for an exam of 30 minutes. I am kind of out of British Lit topics, I know more about American Lit *hides*

Oh and I am looking for contemporary American Literature (fiction, novel) which are focused on folklore and/or urban legends.
Just hit me with some titles, I need to find some (at least two).
I don't know but I thought about Paul Auster and James Welch but I need more.
Anybody?
I'd appreciate it.
Thanks guys.

Sick. Yep. And some fever, which thankfully is gone now, hope it stays gone.
Anyway stuffed nose turned into stuffed and bleeding nosed. How I hate that.

But at least I got some studying done. Need to to more of course but I think I'll manage.

Wish me luck for tomorrow.
Helped last time.. :)

I am sick. Like nauseous and all that.
And I have the exam tomorrow. Dude, why does my life suck so much???

Anyway, wish me luck?
I need it 'cause my head is empty and I know absolutely nothing.
Failure ahead.
*flails and is sick again*

Got the final permission paper I needed for my final exam (at least in one major).
Now I just need to finish up the thesis and than the hardcore studying can begin. I still feel like I have way too few notes and books.
And really the owrst that can happen is that I fail, and I am pretty sure I'll get another try then.. at least I hope so.

The only thing that isn't nice today? My splitting headache.
Haven't had it that bad in ages and I think I just drank too little. So it's basically my own fault.
I wanted to work on the thesis thingy but I think I'll just rest for a bit. I doubt that anything I'll do now will be worth the effort.
So working tonight it is.

... to be random. My head is kinda empty right now. Too much reading. And I don't even remember what I read.
That's what notes are for right?

Got another late Christmas present yesterday. Thank you anjaliss! *hugs*
COOKIES!!!!

Aaron is set to swim this weekend. In Dallas.
And I could watch it if it wasn't for me being all caught up in books and notes and stupid thesis things. Bah..
*sighs*

Oh and the SPN 3.09 promo looks good.
And considering that I am slightly freaking out over the time going too fast these days, the 31st shouldn't be that far anymore.

I used to be pretty good at organizing my days and managed to actually do the things I planned. Right now though I plan stuff, then I wake up in the morning and decide that it has time. A few days (or even weeks) later I remember the things I wanted to do (yes, sometimes to-do lists are useful, when I have placed them somewhere where I actually look at them). So far it has never been too late to do them but I fear that one of these days I will forget something important.
Reason for the rant? I promised my grandma to do something and forgot about it the second she asked. I wrote it down and I remembered today.
Embarrassed is a nice word which fits here.

Reminder to self:
I cannot forget to pay for APO in a few days. I cannot! And I won't.

***
I have been reading way too much today. I want more. And there isn't more right now.
I don't know but I have been alternating between reading stories, my books and notes for uni and working on the two stories I am working on.

I am freaking COLD!

****
You can still ask me fandoms for the meme here.
Go on, I am bored. :)

Online chat with Samantha Ferris? Awesome.
Hearing once again what Jensen and Jared read online? Not so awesome.
Dude, that is more than embarrassing.
Kim Manners? Is still totally and utterly crazy. Nothing new here.

In other news: chocolate chip icecream with caramel fudge. Calms me down and gets me over the McLaren stuff. *pouts*
I feel like five and stomp my feet yelling "Leave Kimi alone" but I doubt that this would have any other effect than me looking totally stupid.
Chocolate chip icecream it is then.

Did I learn today? Not really.
Did I take notes. Yes, some.
Did I read. Plenty.
Does it make me feel better about any of this.
NO.
