Kleiningkeiten

[wiseheart]

We started to empty the rooms that are gonna be redecorated on Monday and Tuesday. That is, the balcony, the hall, the kitchen, the bath and the toilet. Now the whole flat looks as if hit by a grenade, and we aren't even finished yet. But redecoration is seriously overdue; I don't even dare to say when it was the last time...

When the redecoration is done, carpet washing will follow, and after that, school will start again. Speak about getting gradually depressed. Why is it that the good times in our life are always so short? Like summer holidays?

I've updated Web of Darkness and The Toreador Chronicles and got routinely ignored. So, what's new? At least Weasel Fu resurfaced on FF.Net for the last two updates of WoD, and I still have Dís and Jasta. My vampire groupies will return to the Chronicles, eventually. They are few, but faithful.

Still no gold medal on the Olympic Games. I've begun to seriously doubt that there will be one. Last time, we had eight. Ah, well, small nations just can't keep up.

Went to the doctor with Mum the day before yesterday, to have our eyes routinely checked. It seems that neither of us has gotten any worse, which is a relief. Now if we just could squeeze in the dentist sometime before school gets into full gear...

I've been working all day...different time zone on opposite side of the world, you know. ^_^

I'll get to Chronicles...

I'm in the US and I don't care about the Olympics....you can have any golds we won...I'm not even sure what they are...

I'll get to Chronicles...

I know that. It's the other stuff I'm depressed about. ;)

I'm in the US and I don't care about the Olympics....

Well, as I said, I'm not all that interested in sports, either. I only ever watch them during the Olympics, once in four years, and even then mostly the swimmers and the gymnasts - unless our people are involved somehow.

I'd still like if we won at least one of those golds. :(

I hope you'll win a gold medal *hugs*

Good luck with redecoration! I know I'm really lazy about that.

Redecoration is The Evil (TM). But sadly, also overdue. School start is worse, though.

[artemis10002000]

True... So then I wish you good luck with both! :)

Thanks.
Oh, and by the way, thank you for your reviews to Elf-root and The Book of Mazarbul. You've made my entire week!

[artemis10002000]

I'm glad you liked my reviews - though I couldn't think of anything smart or witty to say! :D

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Oh, there's no need to say anything particularly witty! A little encouragement is all that I need - to know that people still do read and that they like what they read. :)

I'll cross my fingers for Hungary! But be comforted: in Sidney the Dutch won 12 gold meldals, in Athens only four, and this time we'll be lucky to get even that much.

Hey, Finch, it's good to see that you're still alive! I was firing on the German and Dutch teams wherever we had no athlete of our own, as I used to live in both countries and feel a certain degree of loyalty. *g*

What happened to your pretty wonder swimmer, Pietje Whatshisname? He was a really big deal in Athens, wasn't he?

[rcfinch.livejournal.com]

His name is Pieter van den Hoogenband, and he won the 100 m freestyle both in Sydney and Athens (among other things). In Beijing, he tried to win it for the third time in a row in an attempt to write history but got no further than a fifth place, though he actually improved his personal best. Which shows that developments in swimming go faster than mortal man can keep up with.

I feel sorry for Laszlo Cseh. He'd have grossed in gold medals if he hadn't been up against one Michael Phelps...

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yes, he was in his best form ever, the poor boy. But since Phelps apparently has shark genes and quills, it was a moot point. A shame, really. At least he beat Lochte three times soundly - that's worth a lot.

I'm sorry for your swimmer. I liked him a lot last time.

Sounds like it's time to ship The Package! I should be at bookstore next weekend, so as to purchase the second book. I already have the one about scientific hypotheticals (the "moon" book), but I want to look for the ST:DS9 novel set I saw once, so I can fill the box. It costs the same regardless of weight: might as well send more stuff!

You're spoiling me rotten. But I really appreciate it - house redecoration is such a depressing thing. Thanks!

Ungarn hat seine erste Goldmedaille! Ich hab mich sehr gefreut für Euch Ungarn, als ich das gehört habe.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Danke! Ich hatte das Glück es live miterleben zu können und bin sehr, sehr froh darüber. Es ist traurig daß unsere Frauen nur Silber haben, aber eure waren einfach besser, so es ist alles in Ordnung. Wenigstens einmal Gold, das habe ich uns so gewünscht...
