Update and memes
Jun. 2nd, 2005 05:06 pmBlair Hall Apts., on the Feast of Sts. Peter and Marcellinus
I've caught up on my friends list, starting from skip=260, and am I overwhelmed! But I did read through everything and even attempted to comment.
As for me, what I've done these past few days while in New York:
1. Unpacked my bags so I can repack for my return to Cambridge in a couple of days.
2. Watched Korean movies and drama, as usual: the movies were 비천무 (a wu xia ripoff) and 천년호 (which I thought would be a martial arts film but turned out to be a classic Korean horror 전설, or "legend"), the drama is 슬픈연가 (three videos left to go, and I still have mixed feelings about the drama, about which I'll probably write a long review later)
3. Read the pile of books I brought home with me: Five Hundred Years After finished spectacularly (spoiler reaction: Aliera and Mario?! I never would have guessed it!), The Fairy Godmother (eh...interesting but very typical Lackey), and currently The Deer and the Cauldron (spoiler reaction: I'm at the moment when Trinket's sparring partner and friend turns out to be Emperor Kang Xi, and can I say that I adore this book to pieces? Trinket is hilarious and foul-mouthed.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tryogeru would be impressed.)
4. Went to karaoke withaetherangelette, where to my surprise I managed to get 100s on three songs (no, I'm not actually all that good at singing; I think the machine just liked me or something)
5. Repaired and reassembled my shinai, which to my relief was not as splintered as I had imagined
I'm not bringing my desktop to Cambridge, so I need to figure out what I want to transfer to the iBook. The iBook has about the same amount of free space, but no CD burner, so I'll have to be careful about how much I download this summer. ::sighs::
( Book meme redux )
5) Who are you going to pass the stick to (to three people) and why?
schwimmerin and klio911 because they like memes, and fadedcliche because I'm curious.
( First lines meme )
Will return to writing once I get back to Cambridge. Also, does anyone have advice about international phone cards/cell phones?
Yours &c.
Post-script: I'm very amused that today's the feastday of Sts. Peter and Marcellinus because I read Einhard's book on the theft and relocation (more euphemistically called "translation") of their relics for section in the Charlemagne course.
