Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

The proof that this country is fucked: when you want to pay uni taxes, they make your life hell.

( seriously, whoever decided this system read a lot of Kafka. )

Okay. I'll have lunch, answer comments, have some more Deadwood and go to the last class.

So I basically wanted to post a long entry after watching my favorite tv program. ... and during the program they linked this and I realized that I'm not in the frame of mind to write a long-ass entry, so see you with that tomorrow and get this instead.



Next time I hear that the current government does wonders for this country's image, I'm showing this and then I want them to say that again. Argh. I don't want to be ashamed because of that idiot, but I kind of am. Argh. Argh. Argh.

1. Hiii! I'm back, luckily the train wasn't too late, I seriously need to decide if I'm going on vacation next week or not (yeah, yeah, this is called thinking things early *snorts*), I'm all caught up and I has some blathering about my Firefly watching, from ep 1 to 5. Mostly general stuff I guess, but hey. I have a new show! And it's only 14 eps so I will catch up with it in a week maximum!

( 'we're big damn heroes.' 'ain't we just?' )

2. Very cool meme stolen from falafel_musings!

1. Write a list of 15 of your fandoms; including films, TV series, books and stage shows.
2. Ask people on your flist to pick a fandom and guess who your favourite character is from it.
3. If they guess right, you must explain why this character is or became your favourite.
4. If you share this fandom with the poster guess who their favourite is too.

I'm not including Heroes because a) it's seriously too obvious and b) I still am not caught up and I think I completely lost interest *sigh*. And I'm not including operas even if considering my standards of fangirling in regards of opera I probably should *cough*.

( fandoms! I'm easy, anyway. )

3. Completely not-fandom related, but how do you know you're in Italy? When you take a train which has high velocity and is supposedly the best thing Italian railways can offer you right now (and believe me, they don't have much) and the air conditioning is broken on the day when there's 38 degrees outside. And just in the part where we got seats but whatever, I got a free seat in first class where they guy next to me was totally reading what I was writing/editing on the laptop (aka Dean/Castiel fic *cough*) so at least there was that.

4. #3 related, it's freaking hot. Right, it's Italy and it's August but still. *fans*

5. I don't want to count how much I've listened to the Rent soundtrack in the past week. Hell, I'm fighting the urge to quote it in fic, which is so not what I need.

6. And since I don't have anything more interesting to say for today and tomorrow I'll need to be up sometime soon because marlonob is spending the afternoon here and I'll pick her up at lunch hour and I want to do something useful in the morning I will be in my bunk watching some more Firefly. And tomorrow morning I actually hope to do some luau catching up. *waves*

Meme from isis2015 and siluria, who accidentally gave me three coincident subjects. ;)

Comment to this post and I will give you 3-5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

Considering also the ones which collided, my subjects are Boone, Bruce Springsteen, Italy, Jason Street, Desmond/Sayid, Clint Eastwood and fanfiction.

( with images for some of the subjects because they're pretty and I felt like it. )

Okay. Now I'm seriously pissed-the-fuck-off.

When I sent the cards this year, I had also sent lasamy a package with some stuff I had to send her since months (Christmas presents included) which was quite a big one. And surprise, it never arrived. At this point I was seriously thinking it was lost and that I should have gone complaining in order to get it back but then this morning what happens? This postal service guy comes at the door, with the package, bringing it back to me, saying that I needed to pay the same price that I paid to send it because it arrived there, it wasn't delivered (WHY THEN???) and so I had to pay for the journey back here.

So. I did pay because it had some stuff I didn't want to get lost and it had been going on for some time but seriously, what the fuck of a service is this? I mean, I pay ten euros, my package does not get delivered even if I chose the speed delivery which was supposed to arrive in one week and cost more than the normal one and then not only they don't do it but I have to PAY because they didn't deliver it?

Fuck, I HATE my postal service. Add that to the disadvantages of living in Italy. Now I also have to lose time at the postal office because like hell I'm paying ten euros AGAIN. Not to mention that the condition the package was in were pretty sorry, even if at least nothing was damaged.

This is definitely not fun. Like I have spare time to lose. What the fuck.

/ends rant

Premise and update: they also cut the second tent scene, which means that they only scene they left where they were physically intimate (apart from the motel where there wasn't much to be seen) was the first tent one which was the... rough sex I guess? While of course all the het scenes were there. Sorry for spamming about this but seriously, it's so dumb really.

( Article from today's Guardian on the internet I guess with dvd commentary by yours truly for your benefit + another awesome article. )

1) So I'm finally under antibiotics and of course the one I'm taking has the side effect of leaving a total sour taste in my mouth all day unless I'm eating. *sigh*

2) Seriously, most stupid thing I've heard since this country's PM's jokes on Barack Obama.

( On Brokeback Mountain getting ridiculously cut on the tv. Uhm, half-rant I guess. )

3) I've got the Christmas cards almost ready, I only miss five which I'm going to buy tomorrow. Also, it's a random selection of Unicef cards and made-in-Nepal cards I bought at one of those fair-trade shops (is it like that?) and I don't know what else I'm getting tomorrow. I'm going to assign them at random as I bought them randomly. ;)

4) I seriously need to hurry up with the Hohoho assignment *sigh*. But I'm not running late at least.

5) ( first and only Twilight rant I'll ever do. If you like it, skip. )

6. Woah, I hadn't started this post wanting to make it ranty. Well, happened.

7. Guess that's all for now? *goes writing*

8. Oh, damn, I forgot to watch Heroes. If the writing doesn't want to come I'll have a laugh.
