A post! Wow...it has been ages since I have updated the journal.

Too busy and tired...
Lately I'm wondering how am I suppose to do everything I would like to...
If I do all I want to in the lab, then I come home cook dinner and collapse. And mentally complain that I haven't time to read books or newspapers or keep up with my shows.
And if I come home at a decent hour, then I feel guilty for all the things I could have been doing at the university...Sigh.
Is there a solution? I mean beside the obvious do-not-sleep one...Sigh

Moving to happier things...I revamped my icons! Felt like changing. :)

And now...to bed.
Sweet dreams everyone.

Happy New Year to Everyone :D

Tired. Working a lot. Which is good, I am happy. But tired.

My adored Powerbook died on me a couple of weeks ago. Sigh...All my photos and files...There seems to be noone here that deals with Macs in the vicinity...Hopefully when I go home on Christmas, they 'll be able to retrieve the stuff on the hard disk. Hopefully....
Luckily the work stuff was also on the Uni computer. Still. It really sucks.
I'm using the uni computer now, which is a laptop. Windows OS...

- a nice conforference on evolutionism and intelligent design tomorrow

Saturday I met my parents in Edinburgh.

It's quite an old thing and I've done it before, but never posted the results. So here it is:

( Which sci-fi crew would you best fit in? )

I've been tagged by hoperomantic:

I must:
1- List seven weird/quirky habits about myself
2 - Tag seven people to do the same
3 - not just say "whoever wants to do it" or refuse to tag people

( Quirky x 7 )

I'm just going to ignore the third point of the meme. No tagging, just do it if you feel like it.

I'm moving tomorrow. I can't believe how quickly this day has arrived.

I've sent by FedEx two big packages full of clothes, shoes, books etc...36 kg in total (almost 80 pounds). Plus the suitcase I'm taking with me tomorrow, of course. That one is another 22 kg (another 45 pounds). And the hand luggage.
It's funny, all the stuff I'm taking equals my weigh!

In honor of the Big Move I've changed my layout. Simple and black. I like it.
Now I need a header, possibly a Farscape one.*ponders*

Found a title for the lj. And a subtitle too! *grins*

I thought I'd share the source material.

I have no Life but this -
To lead it here -
Nor any Death - but lest
Dispelled from there -

Nor tie to Earths to come -
Nor Action new -
Except through this extent -
The Realm of you -
Emily Dickinson

Mnemosyne is a notoriously fickle archivist. She stores selectively, catalogs capriciously, retrieves inconsistently. She serves facts and fiction side by side, and the unwary patron is often handed both in a stack of unbound and sometimes shuffled sheaves.
The Tangled Field - Nathaniel C. Comfort

First try at something bigger than icons. It's nothing extraordinary, but I thought I could share the results. *grin*

Mum has just left for the US on a business trip.

Dad and I are living tomorrow for the mountains. Yay, hiking! I can't really say how much I love the Dolomiti. So beautiful...*sigh*

A nice and peaceful holiday before the planning for the moving start. Yes, I moving to Scotland at the end of the month! *is very excited*

Worst. Weekend. Ever. I was supposed to visit two good friends of mine on Friday and Saturday, instead I got sick. And I was sick yesterday and this morning too. Bleah...I was so tired of it. *sulk*

I managed to read quite a bit though. Always a good thing.
