Hey everyone, it's nice to be able to post again - I had connection troubles for the past two weeks, sometimes we didn't have net at all, sometimes it was ridiculously slow. It seems to be working now but I don't want to curse it. It's not like it's fast now, my download speed is 10 KB/s instead of the 170+ it usually is.

Which reminds me, thank you for your input on the tv show poll, I went with How I Met Your Mother because catching up with Bones would take a lot more time (I'm saving that for Christmas) and I was more in the mood of a comedy. It took me a good 6 or 7 episodes to really get into it but I love it very much right now. Does anyone know where I can find hd caps from it that are NOT .png? Seriously, why would you cap an episode in .png? If it's 1280x720, .jpg caps are good enough to work with and they take much less space. I mean really, the .mkv version of the episode is ~550 MB and the .png caps for it are ~1 GB divided into three .zip files. Why would you do that? It would take me less time to download the .mkv and cap it myself. Okay, just found some of season 5.

I know it's still far away but who would like a CHRISTMAS CARD from me? If you do, please go to this post and leave me your address. I have a suspicion that last year not everyone got my cards for some reason, either the address was wrong or the postal service sucked (and knowing Hungary that wouldn't surprise me), so maybe it would be a good idea if you gave me your address again.

2008. October 28.

Obligatory House/Cuddy anniversary post! Last year this day it finally happened. I love this scene so much, I love everything about it. The kiss, the angst, the shabby-looking (but still beautiful) Cuddy, the abrupt ending, the warm colours, the refenerce to Finding Judas, the fact that even after this this ship is still ~active~, every single thing.

Happy #housecuddyday everyone!

(P.S.: celebratory icon post is almost ready.)

This is one of those things I generally don't talk about, but this has been on my mind for a while and I need to write it down.

Vegetarianism bothers me. It bothers me because it's such a big deal, it's kind of fashionable, it's always being talked about and it sets a whole new ground for people to be judgemental about each other.

Let's take a look at the new Lisa Edelstein article that can be found here. This is what she says:

As a vegetarian, I can sit down at a table, not say word, and people eating meat will either apologize or get angry. Eat whatever you want!


It sounds very nice, doesn't it? And I agree - eat whatever you want! But can we please take a moment to consider why people either apologize or get angry? This is why:

So I survived the week. Thank you all for wishing me luck, my Portuguese test went better than expected. (But the others sucked.) I'm just glad to a whole week of peace. Starting with a nice house cleaning session tomorrow.

I almost forgot to watch my shows today. Which would have been a shame, because even Grey's Anatomy was unusually interesting this week, and The Office and 30 Rock cracked me up.

Which reminds me, I have a dilemma. I want to start watching another series but I cannot pick. I have three picked out and I'm equally interested in all of them but I can't start them all, cause that would be too much. So which one do you think I should start?

You should totally watch...

I have a new layout. Again. I know, I'm terrible. The thing is, when I'm stressed from university issues, I try to procrastinate calm myself with making a new layout; now next week is gonna suck big time, so you do the math... Plus, the other day I was rewatching this kiss scene and I got so nostalgic, I felt I needed this on a header asap (it was one year ago, guys. Do you remember how excited we all were at this time??) And I picked this CSS, which everyone uses, lol, I used it too about a year ago and that makes me nostalgic because I remember that this layout was up when I started making the moodthemes and asked your opinions about some stuff.

In the autumn break I need to organize this journal. I want a new title, have something in the profile page, reorganzie my icons (delete the ones I never use) and have a sticky post about my friending policy. I'm not writing all this down to bore you, but to collect a list of all the things I have to do. ;) And then, I need to actually update and read my friends page as often as possible.

By the way, I'm supposed to be on hiatus. After next week we have autumn break, meaning this week will be crazy with all the tests and assignments we got. I have to do a phonetic transcription of one page of Ivanhoe (a very short page, though, less than I expected), read a Brazilian novel, which I hate - no offense to anyone, but it's so much like reading a soap opera, it's painful - and it's a compulsory reading. I have a 90-minute Portuguese test coming up and while I'm quite good at the grammar part, I cannot memorize the words and expressions. In other words, I've got a lot of things to do, but if I went on hiatus, I wouldn't have a reason to take a break.

One of these days, I'll make an entry that is not about boring university stuff and my whining. Promise. This is not that day, though.
