Days of Summer, A Very Potter Sequel

We got these days of summer to,
remind us of each other!

The time we have to spend apart,
Will keep us in each others hearts!

I'm hoping that the good old days
are something that I will dream about at night.

Don't matter if it's soon or later,
I know that it's gonna be alright!

I don't wanna see you go,
But it's not forever,
Not forever!

Even if it was you know,
That I would never let it get me down!
You're the part of me,
That makes me better,
Wherever I go!

So I will try,
Not to cry,
No one needs to say goodbye!

I 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. ( A lot of rambling and swooning, in which Tess goes a little crazy over a game and admits that she cried like a baby because of it. )

Also, this is totally my new favourite song: This is war, 30 Seconds to Mars, the ending song to Dragon Age.

• It's NaNoWriMo! Anyone taking part this year? Or just using it as an opportunity to do some writing? I think I'm going to try and finish at least one story this month. There are a lot of oneshots I've been struggling with this year, but especially one of them I'd like to see posted/finished in the near future.
• I got myself the Narnia RPG. The layout of the rulebook is very pretty, the system seems easy, but well thought out - could be fun! I like that there are a lot of rather untypical races you can play: not only humans and dwarves, but also half-dwarves, dryads, fauns, centaurs, Marsh-wiggles, talking animals and ... no (!) elves. Hopefully, we'll try this out sometime as soon as I got the drill of all the rules (since I'm the only one who read the Narnia books, I'm already destined to GM). And I'm totally going to play a talking, fencing mouse. (Reepicheep! ♥)

Day five: a youtube clip
Day six: a quote
Day seven: whatever tickles your fancy

The Max Payne 2 Theme, which is a track that you actually can download legally and for free (at least I did at the time). I haven't played the game, but the theme's a wonderful, wonderful instrumental piece of music. Very melancholic, very dramatic and very inspiring. Especially for every World of Darkness RPG currently existing, it's a perfect BGM.

I just stumbled over this and thought it's fantastic. The idea is funny and the artwork is absolutely gorgeous (I love that punk!Jensen). *__*

Lives by Breaking, by Lady Sarai
"The heart lives by breaking;" 8 ways Narnia can break a heart.
A Narnia-fic I've been meaning to rec for ages. About the cruelty of leaving home behind and then being thrown back into it again. Bittersweet, wonderful and so spot-on.

Does It Offend You, Yeah? - We Are Rockstars (youtube-link)
Newly discovered music, thanks to the new Fast & Furious 4 trailer. Usually not my type of movie (I haven't seen any part of the series), but the song got really stuck in my head. And it's not the Hiphop-ish kind of song I expected, but very Electronic - Daft Punk would be a good comparison - and so, so good. And isn't the band name just cool?
