The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Ookay, I need to make a few corrections connected with the previous post. First, I am the proud owner of an adorable little baby pekingese! And since it’s a BOY, I think the name Roxanne will not suit him very well. So we settled for Benjamin instead. All my efforts and pleas to name him Nemo were in vain, because my mom didn’t like how it sounds. So Benji was the only one we both agreed upon. And he’s really cuuuute! I can’t stand the fact that everyone at home would have already seen him and hugged him before me. :/ Damn you, university!!!
The second good news is that I fixed the Live Writer, which is comfortable news for no one but me, but I thought I’d share that anyway, just in case someone has lost their sleep over it (sarcasm intended).
That’s it? I wrote an entire post just for these two things? Nothing else to say? Oh, yeah, I forgot, I’ve no social life to talk about. xD In terms of new scribbles, I have some stuff on the way, but there’s no guarantee they’ll be done soon. So, I wish all the puppies around the world a wonderful evening/morning/afternoon, depending on their geographical position. Ta-ta!

El Tango de Roxanne

My dear no-ones-who-read-this, good evening! Last weekend I barely survived some virus in my laptop, was even about to re-install Windows, but somehow we managed to fix it - that's the advantage of living with two computer science students. However, my beloved Windows Live Writer appears to have fallen a victim to that, because it's not working at all, but given the fact my laptop is ok, I can live without the Writer. So I was right when I said things were gonna screw up indeed. It's not THAT a big problem, but for a student who does all her work on the laptop, plus studying in another country and not having anywhere to give it for repair, it can be really frustrating. I've probably used half my nerve reserve. At least I'll know to never ever ever EVER go to leep2.com again.
On a brighter note, I got my results from the last psychology report for semester 1 today (remember, that with the fingers?). I'm seriously considering throwing a party, 'cause I got 65 fucking percent, which is the highest mark I've received for a report. I finally got the hang of it! On an even brighter note, my mom will take a puppy this Saturday, because having cats for 15 years taught they are total rebels! They do whatever they want, they pee wherever they want, they sleep in your feet whenever they want... so I decided I need something to worship me, instead of me worshiping the whiskers. The downside of it is that I'll probably see the little bundle of joy in a few months, or even later. Seriously, I'm this close to quit university to take care of the pooch (but don't tell anyone!).
I was thinking of posting something on St.Valentine's Day, wishing everyone a Happy Monday to rub the noses of all the florists and chocolate companies.... but I thought that would be too obvious. So I guess that's all I had to say for now. Take care and be careful when you surf the Internet!

P.S. - As for the title, I already named the puppy Roxanne. Plus, I watched Moulin Rouge! again last night.

Enter a post title – No title!

Before I have forgotten to mention, I finally kept a promise I made to myself 2 years ago. I mentioned then that I want to get a hold of George Orwell’s “1984”, but I couldn’t find it anywhere so I said that would have to wait until I go to university. And a few days ago (a week, actually, I’m not very good with time intervals) I was killing time at the book store and remembered to look for it. I shouldn’t be allowed to enter a music or book store, because I always leave with at least 2 things. This time the things were the fore-mentioned “1984” and a collection of poems and short stories by Edgar Allan Poe. Yeah, well, what do you expect, I’m into these kinda stuff. I could have bought more stuff, but I managed to control myself this time. Otherwise, I would’ve got out of there with a Terry Pratchett 2011 Calendar and a very thick copy of Oscar Wilde. What stopped me was the price, of course, and the sudden spark of reality that I’ll have no place in my suitcases for so many books when it’s time to move again. Oh, and one other thing – how come my friend found 4 favourite books for only 1.99 (War and fucking Peace, that 2kg beast!), while I had to pay a little less than 20 pounds for two freaking books?! And I didn’t get a student discount! Apparently, only academic books are sold with discount, go figure. -.-
In other news, semester 2 started the other day, and I submitted my last report for semester 1, also the other day. So far things are going smoothly, which, like I said a few posts ago, means that everything is about to screw up pretty soon. But I’m not complaining. Yes, I got soaked in the rain outside today, but I’m not complaining. Everything is squishy, whatever that means. So um, that’s it for now, ta-ta!

P.S. – Oh, man, I almost forgot! Happy whatever-it-is-you’re-celebrating-today day! Whether you’re groundhogs or men who prefer other men, have a nice day! And don’t forget to use protection! Okay, bye.
