So this morning started really well. Managed to get up with my alarm clock, prepped my morning juice and did a 40 minute workout. Then got ready, managed to do a straight line above my lashes that I usually never manage and went to the train. Train drove in just as I stopped on the platform. Connection tube was set for "right now" so I ran and managed to squish right through the closing doors and there was a free seat as well.

After that, I learned dutch vokabulary and did really well while listening to my currently favorite song, Overdone by Bombay Bicycle Club.

Anyways, it went downhill from there. Phone is constantly rining and I haven't managed to do any of the work yet that I actually planned. Ah damn, have some fun winter bros ice bucket video.



ps: True Blood managed to give us the most boring finale ever. Such a damn shame.

The weather has been really nice, chilly but the sun is out, so I have been going outside on my lunchbreaks in occasion. It's quite wonderful to leave the office for a bit. I took some pics. Also got some flowers from a client as appreciation of my hard work.

So I have an appoinment at my hair dresser today and I have no idea what I want to do. My hair is at a non length. not long and not short.

I've been wondering if I should go back to what I had the last two times, or do somethign even radically shorter, some sort of pixie or something. Or if I should let it grow out more and just have my hairdresser take out some volume and cut the fringe a bit.

I have collected some hairstyles on pinterest that like: http://pinterest.com/ellidesign/hair/

But it's not making the decision much simpler. Any opinions? My hair looks a bit like the katie Holmes style right now... exept less of a cut and more of a mess, because it has been growing out for 3 months now.


Anyways, the sun is finally out and I just finished designing the most boring webdesign layout ever for a dentist.

Been meaning to post this picspam for a while. Kate's and my ikea trip for sewing materials resultet in many shots. It's a faint memory of colder times. Thank god the sun is out!

This day can just be over now, please. Aside from the fact, that I have the most god aweful headache behind my eyes and a queasy stomach because of the damn antibiotics, all my trains were late this morning, I had two wait 40 minutes for a subway and it was so full, that a woman kept pressing her breasts in my face. And I cannot concentrate at all today.

On top of it all I went on tumblr for a short bit to get my mind off it and got completely and horribly spoiled for Miranda.

thank god tomorrowis the last day I have to take my antibiotics though.

I've been meaning to make a post about my Denmark vacation, but never did. I'm still to lazy to write stuff. Exept it was gorgeous and relaxing and the people were so nice and friendly. I'd definately go again. I love the north.

Also best German typo ever. Well maybe not ever, but I laughed and laughed, maybe it is the exhaustion.

Wurstsalätle – schäbisch oder schweizer. (Und ich hab nichts gegen die Schwaben. Find Sie sogar sehr super, aber irgendwie hat mich das extrem zum lachen gebracht.)

Happy birthday svmadelyn

After a moment of oh my god how cold is it I have no fitting jacket, I went shopping for coats yesterday. Oddly enough, I did not buy a coat but two pairs of pants and this absolutely fabulous and geeky Wonderwoman sweater. I loooove it!

Tonight a woke up with a sharp pain in my back. I think I might have a very moderate lumbago. I can hardly move. If work weren't so hectic and busy I would have stayed in bed. Thank god it's getting a bit better now.

legoline and I started our Modern Dance course last tuesday and I'm so glad we are doing it again after over 2 years. It was like coming home.

Also my livejournal flist is very quiet currently. What happened? Where is everyone and how are you?

Who is the Geekiest? And yes... this is my workspace, at work. Improved with the Vintage Camera app on my mobile. Also bonus nails for elsmoka ;)

OMG...this anthropology dress is so pretty. I wish they were cheaper. But so pretty <3

I'm coding a website right now in HTML5. So much fun. Very easy too.

legoline have finally signed up for modern dance class again. We start very soon! Dance!!!

So most of this year I haven't really done a lot of creative work, but mostly administrative stuff and updating old stuff and it's been frustrating to the point where my muse is mostly gone and I feel like I don't even know how to design anymore nor have the urge to do stuff.

I'm trying to regain some of it though through icon making and graphics and simply looking at lots of stuff. So when I did the tutorial last week, legoline and I decided to make a tiny Amazing Spiderman icon battle.

Here is our result. And I still find it so funny, that we created similar stuff with it.

ETA: for the first time, I did not create a million alternates :D

So, since I last posted I had over a week off from work, which was't nealy enough to revitalize me and lift my spirits, but it did help a bit. I'm a bit more focused at work and have almost caught up on all the stuff still on my desk, the urgent sutff that is.

However, I've been in a weird mood and have been all year, it feels. It changes from "I can do this all, I hav the will" to "I'm not making any progress". Generally I'm very frustrated and have trouble enjyoing things without being reminded of all the stuff I have to do.

Luckily, most of it is done now. I have finished my taxes. OMG. It was a shitload of work. But I have done it. Basically that was all I did in my week off. But it is done. ALL OF IT!! OMG. Stupid deadlines ;)

Currently I'm very busy doing a project for eintx, which going to be very cool. I have also taken over some mod duties at throneland.

And getting addicted to Nikita. I don't even remember why I stopped watching it after episode 3 back then. I watched all available episodes in under 2 days. Because omg spys, omg believable long ter realtionsshipts, kick ass chicks. It is a lot like Alias. I'm loving it. Also I finally found decent screencaps, to make a tiny picspam.

I am so very very tired and I feel like I'm getting more tired each day. It's not a very good feeling. Can hardly keep my eyes open. In the evenings though...

I'm not that tired at all, but too exhausted to do much else, so I end up reading. I'm reading the third part of the hunger games right now. elsmoka has given it to me on monday and I'm half way through again. I can hardly put the books down. It's been ages since that happened to me.

Sebastian Stan on Once upon a time was devine last week. The onlym guy who had chemistry with Emma snce the Sheriff. He and Emily de Ravin can come back every week, I think. Tha would be cool.( tiny speculation )

I've watched Game of thrones with elsmoka, lyxzen and thatphoenixguy on monday and it was fabulous. he company and the episode. I'm so glad my show is back!! So very very much :) I also watched 2x02.

( a few things )

throneland has started the new phase just in time for the new season as well. I don't think they could have chosen a better date to start. I'm active, even though not as muc as I'd like to be.

The prometheus trailer looks really really fantastic.

Happy birthday realproof!! I hope you have a wonderful day :)

First of all, thank you for helping me with the interview. I think I wriote a passable interview and there were some amazing questions. Hopefully I will be able to show you the result soon. Also thanks for all the blue dragons and for the comments, messages and calls pertaining to my work-related entry. It means so much to me and helped me a lot :)

Last wee tuesday, I went to a wonderful concert with took legoline , lyxzen and M. It was very very nice. It was with seating which was very relaxing and even though we went in fairly late, we had good seats. I managed to take in my camera.

legoline gave me seven questions. Here are the answers. You can ask seven questions of me as well. I'm just not sure when I wil get them to you :)

1. What do you like about Tom Hardy?
2. Why did you decide to go into graphic design?
3. Your favourite TV show of all time?
4. A book you wish you'd never read.
5. Someone makes you an incredible job offer, but you'd have to move halfway around the world to Tokyo--would you do it?
6. An ACTRESS you're fannish about and why.
7. If you could have dinner with a fictional character, which one would it be?

Happy belated birthday xandutchand nikomaria!!! I hope you had wonderful days.

So I've been sick and in bed since wednesday and thus very very bored. And I'm not sure how it is for you guys, when I'm bored to this point, I often become lethargic and don't manage to do anything at all. So I've watched TV a lot. Caught up on some shows, but there is only so much TV you can watch, right?

Anyways, the project we are doing at work is exciting and different from what we usually do and the work is hard and I've been doing too much in my free time and asking to much of myself possibly. It also would have helped had I switchen on my heating earlier. But anyways, I'm gonna have quiet weekend doing very very little and getting better, because I cannot really afford to be sik much longer and the next few weeks at work will be hard because deadline. We might have to come in on weekends too depending on how much we manage to do. I'm trying to take it one day at the time.

Anyways a while ago I visited elsmoka and we went on a wonderful trip to the rhine and took some pics.
