Sleep-deprivation, anyone?

I need something to do while eating my yogurt, and since I do have some interesting things to say...

Let's start with yesterday night. Which was sucky. I went to bed at 3 a.m. (which for me is fairly regular, if not a little early - I make a habit of staying up late online, reading, writing, watching La Mentira or doing computer-related things in general). By 5 a.m., I was still awake. I couldn't sleep, and I was being surrounded by plot-bunnies. (Not sure whether that's a cause or an effect of the inability to sleep.) I don't know what time it was when I *finally* managed to sleep.

I do know what time it was when I woke up, though. It was 9:20. I think it was because the telephone rang. In any case - I had set up the alarm at 10 because athanamia would be coming over, but didn't even manage to sleep until then. Though I didn't leave my bed until it was 9:50.

Athanamia did come over, and we had a great time. She's leaving to Salonica next week, sob. That's where she'll be studying. We're already making plans of me visiting her

Another studies-related news is that the webpage of my university department is *finally* up. I had been trying to access it since August 24 and it was down all the time. Now, I didn't quite find all the information I wanted (namely, the first semester classes), but there were at least some things on it.

What else? Ah, yes, was Champions League night tonight. Olympiakos lost to Valencia 2-4. :(( We watched the match with my dad, my brothers and my uncle.

(Linguistic comment: Valencia is a Spanish city. All commentators pronounce it 'Valenthia', in proper Castilian Spanish. Everyone I know pronounces it 'Valenthia'. I should be pronouncing it the same way, especially since Castilian Spanish is the dialect I was taught. Instead, I'm the only one in my circle who pronounces it 'Valensia'. Now granted, I checked it on Wikipedia and it says that this is one way to pronounce it in Valencian Catalan, but still, it's weird. I shouldn't be doing it.)

And because I've already finished my yogurt, and because it would be a good idea to go to bed and get some sleep (it's merely 1:10 a.m., but at the thought that I'm operating on a four-hour sleep from yesterday night, I feel an urgent need to go to bed), I'm leaving you. Plot-bunnies, will work on you tomorrow. I promise. IF you let me sleep today.

See ya,
Anna.

Harry Potter fic recommendation

I know I've never done this before, but this fic deserves much love.

I was checking the latest update of hp_art_daily, when I found this drawing by gnatkip, which inspired shayachana to write a fabulously hilarious fic titled Zen and the Art of Mafia Repudiation.

Go check it out! It's only 700 words long, and it will amuse you to no end. (At least, if your sense of humour is anything like mine.)

See ya,
Anna.
