The exhibition was pretty cool! Many pretty things. I love Aztec Mexica writing so much. This was probably my favourite thing, but I can't find a proper picture of it online. I'm amused that the guy on the left is named "leg". Friday at 3pm was the wrong time to go, though; it was massively crowded. And people kept. Standing. Right in front of me. While I was reading something. щ(≖益≖щ) *murders*
I finished reading the Third God as well, and the ending was surprisingly good! (almost everyone I was really attached to survived! :O) In the last few chapters everything sort of comes together and you see the huge cycle of history that the characters only occupy a small, final part of, and it shifts the way in which you look at the story in a really interesting way and FFF I LOVE IT, OK. I can't really say more without spoiling, which I won't because I need you all to read it so I have someone to talk about it to. It's main selling point is the setting, I think, which I'll probably talk about more later. The author also has a huge amount of world building notes up on his website, which makes him my favourite.
I think I'll probably end up reading it all over again soon from this new perspective and to look for foreshadowing. :3
The book I'm reading now is one my mum brought me from Germany a little while ago; Die Praktikantin by Yannik Mahr. It's a sort of satire romance intrigue, I think, about a Journalist who gets put in charge of a small rural newspaper, not the big metropolitan one he had his eyes on, and hires a pretty intern, and then according to the blurb something mysterious happens, idk. It's really amusingly written, so far.
I had my second German lesson last Monday, and it went really well. :D I ran out of time before I ran out of things to do, and everything. Spent the first half an hour or so talking about the Middle Ages, because the kids didn't know anything. They hadn't even heard of the reformation, apparently. I'm probably going to give them a short history lecture every week, starting with the Völkerwanderung next Monday, since it's relevant to the Nibelungen. I'm making a ~powepoint presentation~. 8D
I also have about two thirds of a blog post written about Nick Griffins hilarious "indigenous British who've been living here for 17000 years!" comment on BBC Question Time, which was about a million years ago in internet time but who needs temporal relevance amirite? I might finish it tomorrow, I've been wandering around London a lot today shopping with Tim and I'm not in the mood to concentrate on properly structured writing. God, I missed writing properly structured things about archaeology/history, though. So much.
Oh yeah, I also started filling out my MA application! My personal statement is another thing I will probably write tomorrow.
PS: I say I was shopping with Tim, it was mostly Tim shopping, really. I only bought one thing. A pretty cool thing:
BFFs!

So I was honestly halfway through writing a real entry. But then I got distracted. And now it's too late to scan the pictures I was going to put in it anyway without waking up my mum. So I will just leave you with the Gundam fanfaggotry and post the rest tomorrow.
Feel free to ignore this if you've already been subjected to my capslockspam on Tumblr. I am utterly incapable of discussing 00 sans capslock.
OMG GUNDAM. OMG EVERYONE. OMG BUM AND CROTCH-SHOTS. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
CRACKTASTICAL MECH DESIGNS OH HOW I LOVE YOU~. <3
OH HEY I THINK I'VE READ THIS FANFIC.
<3
PS: I have given up speculating on what is in Innovators' pants, or if they ever underwent puberty. It is never going to make any sense.

Windowsill. I found an app that takes higher resolution pictures than the default camera app. But how will they email?
Squatting lamp post.
I want to live in the colourful corner house.
Clarification.
The British museum sent me an email reminding me that I have tickets to the Moctezuma exhibition on Friday, titled "Your visit to Moctezuma", and while it was loading up on my phone, a part of me was imagining it was going to continue "... will have to be cancelled because the exhibits have mysteriously come to life/vanished."
Because I am secretly 10 years old.
To-day has been pretty useless. I had to go to the job centre in Weybridge at half past noon, and because the trains are lame, that meant I was out from 11 to 3pm. And after that I had a headache, so I laid down for a nap, and after that I've been too groggy to do much except read webcomics and stuff. I was going to do so much to-day, as well. D:
Oh, by the way, I don't think I ever posted it on here, but I made that photo blog for pictures I take on my phone! pseudocarp.tumblr.com. Check it out!
PS: Admit it, you totally want to see this, too. Yeah, I'm using tumblr a bit more lately. I sort of like to pretend my LJ is for longer, more thought-out posts. But then sometimes I post things like that trailer on there that I want to share with people on LJ, too. To expand my online presence over several different kinds of blog, or to contract it all into one? I am conflicted.
I am also going to bed now, definitely.

Wat.
Probably my favourite of the postcards and pictures on my wall.
Greeting and salutation to the hearts that are illuminated by the light of love, and that are led arstray neither by hopes of a heaven, nor fear of a hell.
A Bauhaus lithograph from 1921.
Ok, back to real photo posts after this.
