Quiet and mellow Sunday morning for me. As well as studious. I woke up early, lazed around a bit, had breakfast and didn't put either tv or music on because I needed the peace and quiet to really Wake Up. After accomplishing all that, I was able to start working on my translation studies paper.

Don't know if I mentioned it around here but I'm working on The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and its French translation. Pretty exciting but I'm totally putting double pressure on myself because, ok, I don't want to screw it up as I don't want to screw my average but also, it's Neil Gaiman! One of my most favourite authors! So if I were to get a sucky grade, I'd be a very sad fan, indeed /o\ I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping I'll do a good job with it *fingers crossed*

Tired and busy these days but also excited and happy because the cold has arrived and it reminds me that winter is at our doors and that December is almost there and soon the Christmas decorations will be lit in the streets and the Christmas markets will go live in Paris and it'll be all festive and gorgeous :-)

Speaking of Christmas, I'll try to send Chrismas cards this year again so I might knock at some of your doors to ask for your addresses. Though I should be fine if I just found my address book. I know it's here. Somewhere.

ETA Re: Panic's article in Alternative Press, does it mean we have a release date for the album? Like, for real? Because if it does, I'm totally putting March, 8th in my calendar right.now!

OMG that Panic article? I was just telling the girls it doesn't make me sound too confident. Like, usually bands will be all "we're really excited and proud and the record's going to be awesome!" and they more like "hmm, I guess, I mean, I don't think I'm a songwriter, we didn't like our songs, hm, yeah." ARGH BOYS YOU'RE SCARING ME A LITTLE!! o.O

Also, CS appears in the same issue of the magazine, it seems? And they're also saying they've got 30 songs and like ONE of them. And that Gabe is drowning in angst because of his break-up (aww) and didn't have the heart to write party music.

Conclusion: Get your acts together, boys of bandom! Look up to your big brothers in MCR and give us awesome music you're really happy about! lol

I can't not be confident when it comes to Panic, because I just can't imagine the album not being awesome. I'm hoping they're just being cautious because they're afraid of the welcome the album gets... or something. Anyway, I can't wait to hear some of the new songs. Though at this rate, I'll get to hear them when I receive the CD.

I don't know what to say about CS, though. Dude, what's happening to our bandom boys? Good thing MCR is here!

if I just found my address book. I know it's here. Somewhere.
Aaawww! another sign of Christmas, the hunt for the missing address book \o/ I'm so excited about all the decorations and everything! They've been playing Christmas songs in the stores for a few weeks now, and putting up the trees and everything... it's so beautiful! And you get snow again this year! Can't wait to see the pictures of your Christmas decorations (when are you putting them up btw?) (damn, I still don't have a Christmas icon... another thing to do lol)

Each year it's the same thing lol I'm sure I'll find it, though.

I think we'll putting them up in two weeks. Le problème ça va encore être de trouver le moment pour aller chercher le sapin. Mais ça aussi, ça fait partie de la tradition lol Je ferai des photos, de toute façon :-) Et toi, alors ?

Mais ça aussi, ça fait partie de la tradition lol
Oui, ça serait dommage de briser les traditions, je confirme lol De mon côté, j'ai des boules de Noël (rouge, comme tu le sais) mais c'est tout - je vais aller faire un tour à Ikea un de ces 4 pour chercher des guirlandes et quelques trucs... j'avais pensé acheter un faux sapin, mais... enfin... c'est chez moi, et c'est mon premier Noël chez moi et les faux sapins ont l'air tellement tacky ici... donc ça va être un vrai sapin (so excited!), je pense que je vais m'en occuper la semaine avant l'arrivée de mon frère. Avant ça, je mettrai des décorations dans l'appartement, mais le sapin ça sera avant son arrivée.

Au fil des années, j'aurai plus de décorations de Noël, mais le sapin sera un excellent début. Et j'ai des petites bougies rouges et blanches et des lanternes de la même couleur... Et je sais déjà où je vais mettre le sapin (et où je vais mettre le clic-clac qui se trouve dans le placard pour mon frère). So excited!

T'as pas un équivalent de Giga/Gifi/Tatie à côté de chez toi ? Ici ces magasins font des déco de Noël très sympa et pas cher du tout.

En tout cas, en attendant, tes déco semblent déjà super chou. Les petites bougies rouges et blanches, c'est juste parfait dans le genre :-)

Bah, ici il y a plein de décos sympa, c'est juste que je suis particulièrement difficile lol Ikea répond bien à mes besoins de cette année. Je ne me fais pas de souci, ça va grandir au fur et à mesure *g*

Par contre, je ne sais pas si tu as vu mon entrée mais je n'ai pas le droit d'avoir un vrai sapin (merci les propriétaires). Alors je vais faire des décos avec des branchages, histoire d'avoir quand même l'odeur du sapin :)

I really need to buy an address book. I've always used my computer but then files go missing and having changed computers this year hasn't helped at all.

But better news. PANIC! CHRISTMAS! Two of my favourite things!

Files tend to get missing too often when they're just on-line. And sometimes you just don't have any connection and the old-fashioned address book comes in handy.

And now we even have a title for the album, it seems? We're going somewhere, mate!! Small steps!
