Life?! YES.

- I got the PHD. How cool is that?! And tomorrow I'm already doing a presentation about fandom and Wicked to give an impression about the project to our literature/arts/media department. Root for me to make it áwesome

- Looking for a place to live and start living. It's awesome and gives me a sense of purpose

- I want to worry less and fail at doing that. Spending so much time at home and in my head makes me realize things and blow all the rest out of proportion. I'm happy I got some encouraging replies on the last journal entry, that helps straightening things out

- I guess that in general the whole problem might be that I'm being to hard on myself and that spending time at home makes me feel useless really fast. I guess my webcomic just gives a sense of purpose when I needed it, even if it hasn't got that much readers yet. I take things too seriously and end up getting severely disappointed. I should work on this as well, take it more easy. But there's this small obsessed side of me that just gets so happy from being on any project even if only a few people care about it or read it


Fiction?! OMG.

- I hate Persona 3. I have never hated an RPG this much. I expected bliss and I got Impending Doom

- Tales of Monkey Island makes me severely happy now that I'm able to play it with sis on her laptop. It does justice to the previous games, unlike the horrible fourth game. Thank you, TellTales, I love you

- Watching Smallville, enjoyed Dexter S3 (I lóved it, I maybe even preferred it over 2 because I hated the Dexter-affair-with-psycho-bitch plot). The new House season is not as bad as I would've expected

Reviews

Haruki Murakami - The Elephant Vanishes
Very nice short stories by one of my favourite authors. I always skipped this one but figured I might as well read it, though I believe the Dutch version lacked some stories. Anyway, it has some great things in there (dancing dwarves; robbing a Mac Donalds; elephants, etc) but I was turned off a bit by the final story which was the beginning of Wind-Up Chronicles, which I have already read in the past.

Angela Carter - Nights at the Circus
I'm not quite sure if it's because I read the translation or not, but her style seemed off here somehow. It's also her first novel I believe, so that might explain something too. Anyway, I enjoyed it less than most of Carter's books. The plot was a bit too trippy with a lot of unnecessary content that ruined the pacing. I used to like big books but nowadays, when a book has a lot of rambling and too much description, I get a bit pissed off, I feel betrayed as a reader and don't want to spend time on that. This book did exactly that. But it had some great ideas in it as well and freak show scenes and whatnot. ANd I can appreciate that a lot. It's hard to find fiction, especially literary, that has this kind of content.
