life without a plot

Another meme, stolen from timberwolfoz.

Feeling somewhat saner.

Let’s make a TARDIS wave throughout LJ.

When you see this entry, post a picture of the show (aka Doctor Who) on your own journal.






Because I love the Ood. :)

Survived the four weeks from hell with the 48 hours, the stress and the crazy people (prime example today the guy who wouldn't stop babbling about some alleged conspiracy to hide the truth that it was actually the Germans who constructed the first turbojet plane, and it went downhill form there in all the sad, but sadly not unexpected, ways...) and the stupid people and the annoying people (but also the nice lady who brought me a Demel Cremeschnitte, which, all right, is not my favourite pastry ever, but clearly she couldn't have known that, and it was super-nice regardless) and stupid boss person upsetting me a couple of days ago, resulting in me being completely distracted and, as a result, money missing in the evening; and the heat and sweating, and endless dusting, &c.. Sorry to have been so uncommunicative lately, but I lost my ability to talk in ways that actually make sense along with my brain a while ago. I haven't been asleep before midnight so often in a very, very long while. I also need to quit the chocolate addiction that started with the move related stress this spring; I've been eating incredibly unhealthily lately and I will start with my morning runs again next week. I'm not happy with my body at the moment, but I simply haven't had the energy for anything except the odd walk on a weekend, and some days simply weren't survivable without chocolate.

But on the bright side of things, I'll have a lot of free time in the near future, because I have some 60 hours of overtime to get rid of.

Before the Christmas horror starts, that is.



And because I'm still pretty much brainless, meme I picked up somewhere on friendsfriends...

TV meme, since sleep isn't really an option right now.


Back in the Day: 5 TV Shows You Loved As A Kid
Difficult. As a kid I was only actually allowed to occasionally watch Flipper, Lassie and maybe Biene Maja at my grandmother's, since for Serious Pedagogic Reasons (tm) we didn't have a TV, and I don't have any particular fond memories of any of those, so it'll mostly be shows I watched when I was a bit older and we had had more freedom to hop over and watch pedagogically worthless TV there after school when our parents were working. The Barbapapas (#) do count, though. :)
Then, a bit later... # Raumschiff Enterprise (ST:TOS)
# I don't even remember what it was called in German, but the one with with the three guys whom I kind of slashed long before I ever found out about slash and the boat and the pink helicopter?
# Trapper John.
# Knight Rider. *blush* *more bush* *buries face in hands* I can't even understand why, but I really loved it then. My sort-of best friend at the time even made me accompany her to a David Hasselhoff concert. In my defence I can only say that I grew up soon thereafter and started to obsess over David Bowie.


( The rest of the questions, since I seem to be completely incapable of filling out a simple meme in a non-rambling way. )

Because it's been an exhausting day, although rather unnecessarily so and mostly of my own making, which is really a bit pathetic, and I'm tired (but not quite tired enough to actually brush my teeth & go to bed), frustrated & cranky, and mostly just listlessly staring at the monitor and aimlessly clicking through stuff.

Post Your Drive meme, pt. 3.

( a mixed bag, but leaning towards the fanish side )

Meme, snagged from carose59


POST YOUR DRIVE!

I invite everyone to do the same; for each "round" post ten images that have survived the weeding process for some unknown reason or some private reason; some image that's reflective of your personality or your life or your dreams and goals. Old boyfriends, yourself from school (or passed out on the lawn), pictures you thought were amusing, or guys you thought were hot, the wedding dress you wanted to buy, the car you used to have, ANYTHING that is somehow essentially YOU in nature; reflective of your inner self. If we spoke in pictures, and you were going to tell me about yourself and your life; what images would I see?

( RULES (because we must have some) or let's call them 'Parameters': )

No captions?! I'm not allowed to endlessly ramble and justify myself?! Gah. *sits on fingers*

In conclusion, scary.


And now onto the overdue Russian homework.

Meme, stolen from davenport_6:

Rules: When you see this meme immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.

1. Go to your desktop and press the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).
2. Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and doing a Paste (CTRL + V).
3. Post the picture on your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop if you want. You can explain why you prefer such a look or why it is full of icons. Things like that.
4. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktops as well.

( Mine, and I even managed to resist the urge to do a thorough cleaning before screencapping, despite the somewhat embarrassing results... )

That's a bit scary, actually.
