@morris: Even during lectures? shock You naughty girl! shame_on_you

@Ski: I've been behind for so long. But I'm currently making up for it with my mega marathon of SW books that I've been doing since November. Finished Rogue Planet last night, and now it's on to Darth Maul. grin

I reckon at this rate I'll reach NJO in the next month or two.

@Cel: From what I've heard, NJO is passable compared to LotF. tongue But that era interests me so much, I'm still looking forward to it with a kind of giddiness.

And Blood Oath hasn't been canceled! Just put on hold. Looks like it'll come out next April.

@DG: That sucks. sad What kind of work are you currently doing?

@AA2: Nice pics! Which are you and which are Lanna? Do you two live near each other?

Rew, Lanna's the one with the Star Wars T-Shirt. And she actually lives like ten minutes from where I live. tongue She drives over to the Netherlands a few times a year, though.

And thanks for the info on Blood Oath. But it's still almost a whole year! I'll live, though.

*sighs*

Today's my day off and my daughter is driving me up the wall. I have a headache, I'm tired.
I want quiet. For ten minutes. And I'd be happy. cry

Remember how I would rant about HighSchoolMusical and Zac Efron? Well, I take it back.
Not the part about HighSchoolMusical, of course. That stuff's still horrible but Efron is a decent actor!
I just watched 17 again and he's great!

Then you're still faster than me, Rew, and I'm pretty sure that you've run by (reading-wise) very soon. wink


Ceillean, why don't you enjoy those books? Is there something you can point your finger on? I really enjoyed the first one (ok, the ending was... meh, but it was cool to read) and the same about book two - sadly that I get interrupted again and again and forget about it. blush


Azure, Lanna, where is that pic from, at which you sit at a desk? It's not at your home nor Lanna's. confused

Welcome MiaMai! Nice to see you coming out of lurking-mode. grin
I read at another post that you love RPG and that you're from Germany. Have you found the GSFF, its RPG thread and RPG already? RPG for sure, right? But the other two as well? If not, take a look, it's worth it. happy

Btw from where are you exactly? happy

I am not the lady in black with the black long hair but with the brown hair and the bright top. This is actually me, doing a very belated piece of fanart in the living room of my parents-in-law:



And Deventer/ The Netherlands is slightly closer to Mel´s German home city than the city my husband & I live in. But my parents-in-law are on holidays and we took care of their flat in the weekend, including the flowers & the mail box.

This way DU & I have short summer holidays.

And as for your question, dear Skiara, all those photos were taken in the Dutch city of Deventer, which is one of the very beautiful Hanse cities in the Netherlands.

DG and Azure, good luck on finding jobs. good_luck

As for me and reading... I stopped right before Black Fleet Crisis. Lately I have been reading the PT stuff, and have been trying to read Wild Space for awhile now. It's just taking so long to get into the story. I'm halfway through the book and there really hasn't been any action yet. All talk and no play, in a matter of speaking. One of the girls who listens to the Force-Cast live with me loves that book. I can't see why though...

I am sooo excited that I finally get to see the new Harry Potter movie! After it was delayed, I never thought that July would come around! But I really have to read book 6 again, even though I just read it a few months ago... whistling

Convention this weekend (starts this evening, but I'm going to an Eagles cover band concert tonight), but I get to see Ray Park and Daniel Logan! And have dinner with them too! grin (Hopefully, at least they are invited to dinner with the 501st.)

Then next weekend is camping! happy

And 64 days until Disney! dancing

Ceillean, are you a temp host again or are you doing it for unknown lenght this time? Congrats in both cases. grin

Ah, that makes sense, Azure. Now I know why I couldn't remember any places. wink

JJJ, I only had read HP once, but I really want to read it a second time. Only thing is that I hoped to be good enough in Spanish to read in a different language, but it seems to take even more ages than it took me so far already. blush

Thanks JJJ and Azure. hugs

Rew, I'm working in a factory on my feet 10 hours a day packaging pet care products.

Skiara, right now my back isn't too bad.

Thank you for the birthday card, Azure. hugs

At least your back isn't hurting like it was when you started your job. Is there any chance that it improved, although it's still hurting? happy

Thanks for the invitation, Ceillean, but I can't play right now. I still don't know, if I'm going on holidays and how the days will become after being back at work, so it's better to not start playing a game right now. Sorry.

cry

*is utterly upset at present*

I got a PM that said I could send in excerpts for the nominations of my graphic novels "Shattered dreams" & "On the wings of angels" until 12th July midnight. That was on the 30th June. So I did all my best despite severe private circumstances that I made it BEFORE this weekend.

Now I found another PM that said regretfully that excerpt period was the 5th July already...

*is very devasted and makes her husband, her brother-in-law and her visit from Germany worry for her a lot now*

It has been an ´annus horribile´ so far. And each time I find something to be happy about against all odds I get a door slammed in my face...
