Ahh, jealous, I still have to wait a few weeks to plant things out and my tomatoes are really ready! Have not even seeded squash yet because it grows so fast..
Am so ready for spring. Or you know, summer.

Weh, Warehouse 13 is here on Syfy channel all the time. An epi here and there, fine but not everything. Try the Librarians if you like it though. Starts with some films, then it;s the same as WH13, different background, same vibe.

Wait, why are you reading Allegiant before Insurgent? I'm confused as Insurgent is book 2 and Allegiant book 3..
I haven't heard of Violin but I liked some of the Vampire Chronicles books. I hope you enjoy it!
Sorry, posted it wrong hehe.. I read everything on order. Not liking Violin so far, bit of the rambling things she's got going on in "Memnoch the Devil".
I am not religious at all, far from it, I won't say much more than that I don't really like (as in, can't stand) organized religion. I don't care what kind, don't care for it.. so when books are written in a way that it's.. (don't know the word right now), LOVES it.. I get put off. Lots. So yeah, good things violin was cheap. God this and god that.. uhm.

I worked in the vegetable garden today. Planted 4 tomato plants, 3 pepper plants, and 2 eggplants I also planted 2 rows of green beans.
What, already? Is the weather warmer where you are? I mean.. I have tomato, pepper, jalapeno plants and some green been plants but here you can't plant them out till every risk of night frost is gone, which means after 15th of may.. Called the what, "ice saints?"" here... but I do love gardening, and especially the veggie stuff. Have thyme, strawberries, peppers, paprika, tomatoes, green beans, snow peas, sugarsnaps, redcurrant, rubus/bramble fruit, blue/red grapes and I plan to plant pattypan squash and the edible physalis kind that tastes likepineapple. And maybe some more herbs..

No particular order but I tend to keep the books I want to read sometime soon at the front.. And also books I think are pretty are very visible
-
Exquisite corpse was quite disturbing yes, but I still enjoyed it. American Psycho I did not.
Am reading one now, Joseph D'Lacey's Meat, that is also quite disturbing, though.. I find it not as disturbing because it's dystopian future fiction. If that makes any sense.

I've actually sort of cancelled my libary subscription last year. Or rather, converted into a free one where one book costs 3,50. Euros, am too lazy to look for the sign. The library subscription costed me 55 euros each year and went up a few euros each year, and they had less and less books I liked, the english bit became less and it was more and more hype books at both libraries I used.
Haven't got a book from it since. Stick to buying books and getting ebooks.

Oh yes!
I'd spend a year in Terry Pratchett's the Long Earth, skipping between worlds. Six months in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, provided I am made a vampire. And three months in Hogwarts.
Honestly I'd kick out the Vampire Chronicles world soonest because to fully experience that you'd have to spend at least like a decade there, preferably more than half a century. So maybe replace that one by Middle Earth, visit the Shire and Rivendel especially.

Squished bugs, yeah those silverfish things. Oh and ew, snot! Disgusting, put the book away immediately. Yay for library books.. yuck.
-
Apocalyptica - Drive. Yay!

Pasta, the easy way. Red onion, garlic, leek, minced meat, pasta and sauce from a jar. Hey it's sunday hehe. Also, mom's bf is here and he's picky.

My reading mojo is kinda good lately! I finished Kyle Kirklands Containment (yawn), and read Heinleins Tunnel in the Sky, finished Allegiant, started Insurgent and bought Anne Rice's Violin for 80 cents at a thrift store and started that one.
Also, sick of the fluffy cute books, started reading Meat by Joseph D'Lacey. Oh yes, creepy and disgusting.
-
Sheesh I really think I need to post here more but I just keep forgetting, usually visit my two cat forums that are easy, quick and mindless hehe..
My internship is going gooooood, finished my report introduction friday and sent it to my supervisor, who will be back tuesday from her convention in Las Vegas/holiday in her home country Poland. Then the real experiments can start, testing glues for meniscus repair on bits of bovine meniscus tissue. Am sick of reading, didn't think I'd ever say that but by reading I mean scientific articles.
In two weeks it's time for the Fantasy Fair and I can't wait!!!
-
Hellboy. I loved it as usual. My brother can't believe I love it because usually I don't like the comics/superhero films much.. but he also didn't know what I meant when I said I love the Lovecraftian influences and that some of the creatures make me go "Cthulhu!". He's never heard of both. He's not a reader, let's just say that.
-
Spring! 14 degrees and sunny, we're due to have 25 degrees this week, tue/wed/thurs are all going to be 21-26 degrees. Little taste of summer, yes please!
-
My easter was boring but teo days off (good friday and monday) are gooood. back at the internship today though mostly half a day, after I damaged my cornea with home improvement in november I've had two or three times where the wound opened up again (yay for extremely dry eyes) and one times was 1,5 week ago so on advice of my opthalmologist I am taking it easy with whole days behind a computer.
Getting excited now for the Fantasy Fair less than three weeks away!! My costume is almost ready, just need to adjust the closing of my overskirt, fix my headband, see about making a short capelet.. can be cold but I hope the weather continues. And then I'll be going to this lovely castle at the 25th of april for something like a Renaissance Fair..
Can't wait!!

I liked the Vampire Diaries but LOVE the Originals. VD was too much soap opera like for my taste, too much gloom and doom. As far as I watched then.. but, there was Ian.. Damon I mean. So maybe I'll pick it up. Elena was one of the things I liked least about the series tho.. they say the series will continue without her..
-
Finally finished Stephen Kings Needful Things, excellent book. Next up
Oh how are you liking it? Took me quite a while to finish Proxima, wasn't exciting but some how did make me long to read Ultima. Have it on my pc but yet to put it on my reader..
Have read Heinlein's Tunnel in the Sky, finished Insurgent by Veronica Roth and started both her Allegiant and Meat by Joseph d'Lacey. I loved Divergent but both later books are meh. But I have promised myself to finish more series in 2015. I often start series, read only the first book, sometimes love them but can't be arsed to read more.
Meat is already creapy. Just.. don't read it if you're squeamish. Am 50 pages in and already, ew. But that's how I love books.
-
Haha I didnt even say it but those ridiculous robots were some of the things that carried the 2001 vibe for me most of all, they're obsolete already! No proper robot scientist (scuse me for not knowing the proper scientific word hehe) would create something like that. Insect like maybe but those silly things!?
Watching Divergent now, blah, book ok.. Film.. Well first half not bad but it's just so less deep, skipping parts I loved most and it's not even close to being as intense as the book. Not liking the casting much either..
-
Interstellar. I liked it! Had a very 2001: space odyssey vibe, very much. But I like that film too so..
-
Two cats, one dog here. Grew up with dogs, always had two. When I lived with my ex for five years I'd have loved cats but he was allergic.. relationship ended, moved back home. Dad not a cat person but after his death mom wanted cats. Now we have two and I can say, yes I am a CAT person. Love dogs, love animals but I do love my kitty-cats.
Finishing up my studies now, when I have a job and my own home I want at least two cats. Max five.

Am 33, can't believe that I am that old already.. though honestly people are shocked when they hear my age hehe.. they usually think I am like 25.. which is more what I feel like.
-
Dang, am starting my new 6 month internship (medical biology studies, department of orthopedics at local academic hospital) tomorrow so think the next few weeks my reading will be focussed on scientific papers.. Just downloaded the first one "Repair of dense connective tissues via biomaterial-mediated matrix reprogramming of the wound interface".. yeah.
But maybe I'll start Stephen Baxter's Ultima tonight, make a start.
-
Tonke Dragt's "Torenhoog en Mijlen Breed", guess that was an early start on sci-fi for me. Also, Micheal Ende's Neverending Story, in dutch then obviously.

Due to being bery busy at my internship and having to read lots of scientific papers there my own reading has dwindled to near nothing..
Have started to read Time's Eye by Arthur C. Clarke etc, but is hard to focus when you only feel like reading once a week..
