lokuro I am starting to get more and more anxious about my thesis... My supervisor is an asshole, a very greedy enthusiastic young man, who wants to squeeze the most possible amount of papers from us and I am not sure, I will have enough time for the writing itself if I still have to work full time (and overtime too) on more, and more, and even MORE experiments :( welp.
But, alas, today I don't want to speak of that matter anymore. Let me focus on the brighter things instead!
1) The new series from Cornelia Funke! <3
(Do not ever let me talk about her books unless you are prepared to listen to me for the next 10 hours or so. Let's just summarize that I love the InkWorld series a great deal :D (but then again i also like "Lady in Gil" by Rebecca Bradley and I've been told multiple times that it not the best choice as far as fantasy is concerned... but it's hilarious!)
So, I've started with the "Reckless" series. Sofar it's very entertaining and adventurous~ perhaps not as charming as the InkWorld series, a bit darker and grimmer but still a clear recommendation!
(also, I love the way she portrayed Moskva and colorful slavic folklore. Approve! Also, Fox is such a dear ._.)
2) I finally came to edit the photos from a casino themed evening I attended a while ago (my WK vs Saiyuki colleagues may remember me mentioning the occasion). After removing the photos with faces on them, the rest may look a bit tedious... but since it has a certain WK-vibe to it, I shall post it anyway.
Other guests in all their pretty dresses and suits might have been eyeing me a bit suspicious (no party is ever complete without a crazy and embarrassing guest) as I threaded my way through the masses to take close up pics of some particularly fetching glassware...
also, all the pretty colors actually come from the lighting arrangements from our hosts, not from my excessive editing skills~ as shown by these two shots made during differing lighting, about only one minute apart :3 Which one do you prefer?
And not to forget the nourishment provided! - these fabulous cakes tasted just as amazing as they looked :3
Anyway. By attending (if only to take photos XD) I have fulfilled the social obligation to my colleagues and can now ignore their invitations for at least the next year or so...
