This is the end

(don't start thinking "of the world as we know it..." - like REM said). It's just the end of another semester. =)

With a great image of the sunset in Recife - the end of a day, as I knew it...

The day the saucers came

(...)That day, the saucer day the zombie day
The Ragnarok and fairies day, the day the great winds came
And snows, and the cities turned to crystal, the day
All plants died, plastics dissolved, the day the
Computers turned, the screens telling us we would obey, the day
Angels, drunk and muddled, stumbled from the bars,
And all the bells of London were sounded, the day
Animals spoke to us in Assyrian, the Yeti day,
The fluttering capes and arrival of the Time Machine day,
You didn’t notice any of this because
you were sitting in your room, not doing anything
not even reading, not really, just
looking at your telephone,
wondering if I was going to call.

(extrait from Neil Gaiman's book "Fragile Things")

So, what are you going to do during the vacations? Hope you won't sit just waiting for someone to call... =)

Plans for the weekend

And here we are, camping at the university until all papers are done...

Well, at least until the library closes - then I'll have to move my tons of books to my "already-disappearing-under-paper-and-notes room", and only God knows when I'll be able to get out of this chaos. So you know where to find me during the next days: at home, ar the university, or maybe during a few hours tomorrow, at the Fête de l'Escalade . You can see some pictures here. And then I'll go back to my books and my attemptions of being clever and coherent!

Enjoy your spare time... If you have any! =)

Christmas Shopping Descontrol

Here we are, almost Christmas and still lots of gifts to buy. (if you started thinking that I must be crazy to say that 2 weeks before the 24th, let me say that normally I buy all my gifts in November - I just hate going inside those crowded stores to try to find something "really great and not so expensive" to my friends)

And another problem is writing the Christmas cards. 22 of them. To be sent before December 10th, otherwise they'll arrive for Carnival. =)

Gotta keep cool....
