ayascytheI have teh Internetz again. Yay! (Honestly, Telekom ... a stronghold of chaos and incompetence.)
Soooo, what's new? I just realised how freaking much I actually still have to do, especially since next week there will be a Big Important Presentation and then, in only a few weeks, examinations! *freaks out* How did that happen? Again? Why am I always surprised at how little time there's actually left? *rolls eyes* Anyhow, I really need to get working from now on.
Oh, and anyone interested in some pictures of the KSC doing training in Belek? There are some nice pics in this gallery, although no interesting shots of anyone in particular. Meh.
Also, since I had no internet and obviously wasn't working much - with what did I waste my entire time? Well, first of all, I finished Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, which was awesome. I still think the pacing and entire chapters dedicated to unimportant side-characters were pretty exasperating, but the witty, charming and so very British writing made up a lot for it. Also, the great story that came to a wonderful ending. I won't say much about it, but if you bring some patience, a lot of time and a pot of hot tea with you, the book will make it worthwhile.
And then there was Dragon Age: Origins. Oh. Oh. I think I fell in love with that one. It's the first game ever since Final Fantasy 8 I obsessed over that much. I played this game like a madwoman over past few days to get to the ending and then refused to actually start the ending campaign because "But, but, but - then it would be over! D:" J. had to force me to stop doing random quests and starting the end fight. (It's actually his Playstation and his game, so it's totally his fault that I'm an addict now!) And then I played until late night, being in a half-sleeping, half-waking delirium, refusing to delay the ending until next morning ... and when the ending came, I cried like a baby. *facepalms* This was partly, because I was completely tired out, but also because I chose the tragic heroic ending in which my character sacrificed herself to kill the Archdemon. ;__; Also, I hate saying Goodbye to characters I've come to love, be it in a book or a game.
The next morning, I replayed the ending with Alistair sacrificing himself instead of my character. - And then, I started a fresh game so that nobody would die in the end and my character and Alistair would totally hook up and marry. Plus, there is fanfiction. And books. Something tells me, I'll be spending even more time with this game. *grins*
(See? I'm totally crazy.)
Also, this is totally my new favourite song: This is war, 30 Seconds to Mars, the ending song to Dragon Age.
