elvenpirateladyThis is one of those hello-I'm-not-dead-yet posts, but I have the excuse that it's my brother's birthday for another seven minutes.
Happy birthday, brother-of-mine!
That said, I've been readingget_medieval last night and tonight. I'm fangirling Sir Gerard, and he and Eleanor are utterly adorable together. Also: SIEGE BEES!
Elb's birthday drabble: not written down yet, but coming along nicely.
Reading list: I just finished Wolves of the Calla, and um. Jeez. Pop-culture refs much? Still enjoyable, even if the plot isn't exactly new. And I have the rhyme from that book - Oh Susannah-Mio, divided girl of mine, lost her rig on the Dixie pig in nineteen-ninety-nine - going through my head to the tune of Single Female Lawyer. It almost scans.
I went to see a games exhibit on the weekend, and they had a text-only Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game. Best thing ever, I tell you, even if I died approximately 0.057 minutes after beginning it.
Exam-wise: I rediscovered the joys of last-minute revision. (Do we go through this every year? Yes, we do. And we never learn.) Hastily-scribbled drawings work surprisingly well as revision, although I realised after the exam had finished that I completely got the wrong idea on metamorphic core complexes. Ah well, I'll learn it for next term. Atmospheric Science exam, however, is going to be a bitch and then some.
Don't want to end the post on that note, though, so look! Bees communicate through interpretive dance!
