Finally decided to join the clique A Year of Reading<\/a>. I’ve been reading DT5<\/abbr> crazily to get it read in May (one of the rules, one of two, is to read one book per month (at least try) and I was determined to do that even though I wasn’t in the clique) and because of that I’ve stayed up preeeetty late. I have 4 days to finish it now but I only have about 300 pages so it’s no biggie. I’ve been reading Everything’s Eventual for my translation studies paper but I don’t know if I’ve really read it or just skimmed for the appropriate words (realia). Some stories I’ve read and some just skimmed. Maybe I’ll be true to myself and admit it doesn’t count as reading. Besides, I’ve read it before. I am going to read Carrie — and EE<\/abbr> in *Finnish* — after the paper’s done, though. Cause I can keep them till (*checks To Do list*) mid-June.<\/p>\n

Luckily I’m working for the summer, so I get to read Black House on my way to\/from the department. I know nothing keeps me from reading my backpack books in more places than bus stops, buses, train stations, trains, trams, University, cafes… but when I’m not in one of those places (or similar), I’m at home thus I can read my bedside book.<\/p>\n

A bit silly, but I updated previous entries. I noticed I had forgotten to add some things to the new layout’s blog after writing them to the old one (i.e. written while I was making the new layout). Anyway, nothing serious, just some spider stuff. Check out May 14th<\/a> and 22nd<\/a> if you want.<\/p>\n

Starsky & Hutch, 28. The Longest Journey<\/del>, 29. The Sims (plus extensions), 30. Sum of All Fears<\/del>, 31. X-Files, 32. Splinter Cell, 33. Tomb Raider II, 34. XIII.
\nEh…. maybe… I could… uninstall… a few… \":mrgreen:\" I mean, most games keep their saved games so I wouldn’t have to worry about starting everything from scratch…
\nGot rid of some other programs as well while I was at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
