Am sick... but I won't whine *iz so tough omg*

[castalie]

Because I'm always quick to point out the things I've done wrong or should have done but didn't, I'd like to take this entry as an opportunity to congratulate myself for a weekend very well used. I left the flat only once Saturday late afternoon to pay a visit to my mother (who was babysitting my goddaughter so I got to see Chiara as well) but apart from that I stayed home and studied from Friday night to Sunday evening; I read books and took notes, read articles and took notes, listened to lectures from Yale (hee so awesome!) and took notes, then I outlined my (second) essay, wrote down some stuff and read some more. In conclusion, I read and took notes all weekend long... me! So proud!

Actually, I might have read a bit too much - I know, shocking concept but I almost out-read myself, I swear. There were the school books and the articles and then I finished The Graveyard Book and since Amazon had delivered my last purchase, I started and finished Deviations: Domination and then I started Where the Wild Things Are, the version written by Dave Eggers. That was a lot of reading. Twas pretty cool :-) I think I would go mad if I were to stay home every weekend to do that but being reasonable and studying when you're supposed to does make you feel good! I totally need to write that down *nodnod*

And speaking of being reasonable, I worked well on Friday and rewarded myself as planned, meaning I watched SPN 5x22. Only thing I can say, is that SPN will never fail to make me flail and feel like my heart has been ripped off my chest.

There were some things that didn't work but I couldn't care less, I have to say, because the things that did work really worked and just did me in. Oh, SPN, why do you have to hurt me so?

I'm really curious about what season 6 has in store for us because it feels like they've messed up the show pattern somehow. The Lisa&Ben part of the equation is totally unbalancing the universe so I'm curious (and impatient) to see how they're going to solve that conundrum. The idea of Dean without Sam just breaks my heart, TPTB'd better have something good ready for me because I don't want to cry all season long next year!

Also, Sam, what happened to you exactly? Are you still you? You're going to make me cry as well, aren't you? As if I hadn't cried enough for you already! Argh, why do we have to wait months for new episodes? *wails*

So, anyway, this is it, no SPN till Back to School TV time. Summer hiatus is always so tough on us *pout* But at least I have July to look forward to with the return of White Collar. Also, I think I'm going to give Southland a try. Oh! And I watched the latest Doctor Who and I'm soo enjoying that new series! I'm smitten with Eleven and Amy, and I really like Rory, too ♥ ♥

Trying to leave a comment without spoiling myself! *don't look up don't look up*

Congrats on getting all that work done! And booooo to being sick! Hope you'll feel better soon :)

That's always a tricky moment. Hope you won't be spoiled before you watch the episode!

Thanks! And 'boooo' is right; I feel like crap tonight, it's worse than this morning. I do hope it's just a 24-hour kinda cold, though, and that I'll feel better by tomorrow.

This is where the livejournal addon for firefox is awesome: it lets me leave a comment while never leaving the f-page and without having to unravel the cut! No spoiling for me and I don't even have to be careful! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I have to say the LJ addon is one of my favourite; it's good that you spread the love, Jem!

[greedy_dancer]

le pire c'est que je l'ai, mais je l'avais juste jamais utilisé lol

[crazybutsound]

*beams* It is awesome and makes my livejournal experience so much more effective. I was telling GD how weirded out I am when I have to browse LJ without it on foreign computers and find myself confused. How did I use to do it? lol

Ooh, ça a l'air sympa comme lecture Deviations: Domination!

*hugs to make the sickness go*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

J'aime beaucoup, oui. Alors, attention, c'est pas transcendant et, ok, pas aussi hardcore que certains bouquins (ou certaines fics) que j'ai pu lire, mais quand même très sympa et très hot. Et les personnages sont attachants.

Là c'est le deuxième bouquin de la série et j'ai commandé les deux prochains :-)

Thanks for the hug, though don't come too close, I wouldn't want to infect you!

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Faudra que je t'emprunte ça pour voir!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Avec plaisir !

Je ne suis pas du tout D/s, mais je vois que le bouquin est de Chris Owen, et j'ai lu 911 de lui (emprunté à stained_dreams) qui parle d'un couple à trois et est très sympa comme bouquin.

Les nouveaux DW sont géniaux. :-)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Un bouquin sur un ménage à trois ? Ca m'intéresse ça, thanks for the rec :-)

Les nouveaux DW sont géniaux. :-)

Je les adore ♥

I didn't leave my apartment all weekend because I was sick. Gah, I'm so over it! I'm still sneezy and coughy but I'll get there! Especially with lovely real spring weather on the way!

Nice work reading and studying all weekend! I remember those days...and I don't want to return to that for quite some time. *nods*

Yay for Doctor Who! Lisa and I caught up yesterday and I agree, it's so lovely! And Rory is a doll, isn't he?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Being sick sucks! Hope you're feeling better today? *hugs*

Rory makes for a sweet addition to the Eleven-Amy team *nodnod*

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

I am getting better! Thank goodness this is just a cold and not something worse. *whew*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear! *hugs again, just because*

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

Yay! *hugs back, because I'm not contagious!*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Well, ok, I think I might have the plague? But I promise you won't get it from here so let's hug again, YAY!

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

Well you are in Europe, lol.

I'll take a rat-filled, flee-filled plague-y hug from you any day!

[crazybutsound]

Wow! Studious indeed! Mais bon, est-ce que tu n'as finalement pas trop fait chauffer tes neurones? Comme je te disais, soigne-toi! *tugs you in once more and gives you more chicken soup*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Bah je me demande, oui :-p D'autant que la semaine d'avant (et le weekend précédent) j'avais aussi beaucoup bossé sur l'autre dissert' donc peut-être que ça se rebelle dans mon corps lol Enfin là, le rhume est complètement installé, donc maintenant je vais devoir attendre qu'il se barre en me shootant un peu *sigh*
