So I got the lump in my neck tended to. This consisted of making incisions on all sides of the lump and then squeezing until all the crap’s come out. It was about time as well, yesterday it got so bad that I couldn’t look to the right anymore, and I had frequent stabbing pains in my neck because all my muscles and skin were beyond strained. Yesterday evening it got so bad that putting a knife on it on my own seemed tempting. I just had a bath and read Patrick Rothfuss’ The Name Of The Wind while drinking wine, instead.
Today the GP just mangled my neck bigtime, and tomorrow I’ll have to come back for more.
In the meanwhile, my neck is so sore that I want to cry. Also, I have my period for the first time since I had my Mirena re-placed so I’m a hormonal wreck as well. All in all, today is a pretty abysmal day. Meh.

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011so, about a dance with dragons
Wednesday, July 13th, 2011Of course I finished it already. I speed-read through the whole thing like a starving person eats a whole banquet. I mean, it’s been ten years since we last heard from Jon and Tyrion and Dany. Of COURSE I was dying to find out what happens.
And now I do. 
Under the read more link are spoilers! So if you haven’t read the book yet, GO THE FUCK AWAY.
break the silence, wake the dead
Wednesday, July 6th, 2011I just realized that when “A Dance With Dragons” gets wired to my Kindle on 12 July, it’s probably evening by then. They send it to me from Amazon US, which is six to nine hours behind me timezone-wise, depends a little bit on location.
So I’ll get the book I’ve coveted for the past six years (if it isn’t ten – I read “A Storm Of Swords” in frigging September 2000 – it’s been eleven years since I read about some characters in the story, because “Feast For Crows” in 2005 was only half of the book, “Dance” is the other half) on Tuesday evening…. and guess what…?
I have Wednesday off. It’s my usual bi-weekly day off.
AHAHAHAHAHA! This is awesome! 
In other words, you probably won’t hear much from me on 12 and 13 July. I’ll be glued to my e-reader.
