It's time for the update from hezmana!

Meaning not that I am having a bad time but simply that so much stuff has piled up by now that I will probably end up with a novel-length update here. I'll try and put lj-cuts in to make it easier for you to decide what to read and what to disregard.

All right... I took some notes on stuff I wanted to write about over the last two weeks or so, but I'm not sure I can find them all again... plus some things have become sort of irrelevant. I also started writing an entry offline and saved it in my text editor last weekend, but it was mostly just a cautionary tale about libraries and university essays and the importance of deadlines, and I'm not sure I care enough about it to post it here. Anyway, I can't do so now, because I'm not at home.

Well, let's get this update started.

Just as an aside: using a British keyboard is frelling annoying. The different positions of the 'y' and 'z' key I can get used to; have in fact gotten used to when I was in Barcelona earlier this year. But lots of other keys that are kind of important and that I usually can hit blind are in different places, too! It seriously slows down my typing! Grrrr.

( Do British archaeologists read more than German ones? ;-) )

Errrrr... I don't have any more time today, I'm afraid. I have to get my lazy ass over to the library and get some literature for my exciting essay. However, just so you know what to expect, here are some of the notes I took in the last two weeks to think about publicly in my LJ when I have the time:

( unrealised realities )

Looking at that list, I feel compelled to ask:

Can you have a life *and* a livejournal?

Don't answer that question.

After taking a long look at www.slayage.tv...

Frell, I want something like that for Farscape. Not claiming I have the intellectual calibre to actually contribute, but I would so love to read essays like that about Farscape...

I have a plan (Real Life related post! It's the end of the world! *g*)

Just a quick fly-by post before I disappear to clean the kitchen. I'll be gone a few days, starting tomorrow (see next-to-last post for explanation why), and probably I'll be mostly gone for the next two weeks as well (although I'll probably post the occasional one or two lines here).

Uni is about to claim absolute predominance over my life for a few weeks. I've decided to devote what time I'll have this weekend to reading as much archaeology as possible because it looks like I won't have much time for that subject in the following to weeks. Not that I will have that much time this weekend, after all I'll be meeting Eledhwen and watching LotR and seeing London with her. That is, I have only tonight, and the bus rides to London and back to Birmingham, and what's left of Sunday evening afterwards for my archaeology stuff. On Monday I'll start researching and reading for my essay which is to be handed in on the 8th of December on Monday. Besides that, I have another presentation to do for archaeology.

In a way I'm looking forward to this, because I *do* like studying. But it will also be gruelling. So, please understand if I'm absent. And if I'm *not* absent, please chase me back to work! ;-)
