This and that and everything inbetween.

I've been neglecting this blog pretty much because of the immense study work load. For the last three weeks I've pretty much been cramming constantly. Now I have a week "off" as in no deadlines, but for my own sorry ass' sake I should continue anyway.
I can't believe how fast this semester passed by. But then again, this year we're off early. In mid may I'll be done for the time being. Yahoooo!

We booked our vacation yesterday, finally! This will be the first real vacation Love and I have had together, going away together for more than just two days. We're taking Hyacinth to Germany, and have rented a place near my family there. We'll be traveling by boat to Kiel, and not just any boat. The new Color Line ship, Fantasy! Weeeeeeeee! I've been wanting to try that one for over a year now, drooling over the online presentation of it. But you know me, I love those boats.


Another thing that's soo long overdue is a big Thank You! to Miss M for the surprise! She sent me a Moo Cow (too cute!), my favorite tea (and I had only two bags left of the last one, I was saving them for a special occasion!) and an absolutely stunning bracelet in goldstone(?). Her jewellry is always beautiful, but this was stunning! :D
It was a lovely surprise and a real cheer up in the middle of my cramming, where I was pretty much stressed out and going nuts. M, thank you so much, you not only made my day, but the entire week ;)

Goodbye my beloved Billy.

Our beloved dog Billy lost his battle with diabetes today.
I'm heartbroken, but I know he's in a better place now and I hope he knows how much we all loved him.
Goodbye Billy, and thank you for the years we had together. There will never be anyone like you. *big crunching hug*

Yrch!

Sting doesn't lie! There are Orcses around here somewhere. Where's Legolas when you need him?

Entertaining guinea pigs.

OK. To be completely honest, my piggies aren't all that entertaining. They're cute, they wheek, they eat, but they don't entertain. They just lazy about and eat, that's it. But who says that can't be entertaining?

The piggies eating and Monster hiding while eating. (2.4mb)
The piggies eating, Pinky showing how she can stand upright (4.4mb)
The piggies eating, Tresko scratching herself (2.4mb)

The Easter Bunny came for a visit.

More filthy orcses.

This one is my favorite so far, it cracks me up! :)
And there'll probably not be any proper postings from me in a week or two. Working on an assignment that's sort of a home exam thing. An analysis of Marion Zimmer Bradley's "Mists of Avalon" compared to a very christian version of the Holy Grail myth. Gaahh! And because of all the family matters and the two weeks long head ache I had, I am very very late with it. *sigh* Wish me luck!

Filthy Orcses!

Love's Orcses. I have more. And I'm positively brilliant, I managed to put this in all by my genious self. OK, maybe I'm not a genious... ^^
