sun, sky, sleep.

At the cottage. We have a little bit of internet, which is nice. I had some tiresome news, which was less nice. More tilting at the windmills of Swedish university bureaucracy, woot.

But I sat on the cliffs in the sun today and unraveled a couple of the really knotty thesis knots, and I played tennis and I cuddled with my cat, and I wrote about 800 words of a story, edited a friend's medical school statement that she sent me last week, and I got somewhere with the translation I'm working on (and will be paid for!). All in all, I can deal with the tiresome.

Also, my favorite meme is going around again.

Gacked from torakowalski:

Ask me my Top Five Whatevers. Fannish or literary or otherwise. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post (or in comments). Possibly with pictures.

I'm sorry about the bad news.

Top 5 stories and books.

Eh, it'll work out, it's mostly just tiresome. I'm done with bureaucracy, basically.

Do you mean stories as in fic? And books as a separate list? Or the same one? :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I hope it does work out.

Sorry for the unclear list. I meant one list for fic another for books.

Not to worry! Dear god, I frequently give my students unclear instructions, you know?

You ask tough questions. I shall ponder and return.

Books!

In no particular order and with an attempt to choose different genres:

1. Women and Apple Trees by Moa Martinsson
2. Homecoming by Julia Alvarez
3. Arcadia by Tom Stoppard
4. The Brothers Lionheart by Astrid Lindgren
5. A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf

Thank you for that!

I always like knowing about the books people love.
