Whew, the parcel for eryka_59 arrived safe and sound. And quickly, my opinion of the Italian postal system has highly improved. The letter to Germany should have arrived too and I hope the cards to the USA will get there before Xmas as well.

It's Saturday night and I'm home with nothing to do, so I'll post a meme nicked from schwimmerin: Go to your Calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2005. Post the first line of it in your journal, and that's your "Year In Review"

January: Happy New Year! As usual I didn't make new year's resolutions, I simply hope this year will be a bit better than the last - and it wouldn't take much.
February: I've been busy busy busy these days.
March: HAAAAAAAAAA!!! Curedrink 2005! I MUST be there! >____<
April: I finally found a copy of Good Omens! YAY! I'm about 50 pages into it and I already love it.
May: Oh, boy. I thought I'd never finish this.
June: First of all I want to apologise to kasche, harleen and nyxalinth. Your drawings are ready, but I've had problems with a virus on my home PC, so I couldn't scan and upload them.
July: Gah. These last couple of weeks have been quite surreal.
August: I drew this last week at work, it's just a sketch but I'm quite pleased with it, especially with his expression and his nose. *loves Snape's beaky nose* ^__^
September: I'm currently reading "Watching the aeroplanes", by autiotalo and quantesque.
October: Three more icons made from the pic unbelangbar posted the other day.
November: Halloween Party was... uhm... good.
December: I went to see The Rocky Horror Show last night, I was with Demi, Elena and Stefano (Los 4 Fantasticos strike back!) and it was great.

And a few pictures. I went to Milan to buy Xmas present this afternoon and brought my camera. I never take photos when I go to Milan because, well, I'm always there for work, I attended high school and university there, so I don't really feel the need to take pictures, you know. But today I wanted to look at the city as if I were a tourist. Garfinkel would be proud of me. (Geeky sociological reference. :P)


The Swarovsky Christmas tree in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.


Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II seen from Piazza Duomo.


The Christmas tree in Piazza Duomo, traditionally donated to the city by the Italian-Swedish Chamber of Commerce.


The Christmas tree and the Gallery.


Neon lights on the passage connecting two buildings. It's part of La Rinascente, one of Milan's most famous (and expensive) shops.


The Cathedral (Duomo). I wanted to take more pictures, but they were celebrating Mass, so I just took this and went out.



Tomorrow or Monday I'll also post those Ärzte screencaps I promised eryka_59 some time ago. I haven't forgotten, I just haven't had time. :P

Yeah, I know Swarovsky is from Austria. :) I had a look at the Swarovsky Gallerie in Innsbruck but didn't actually enter, it was a bit crowded, so we chose to wander around and see the town rather than being surrounded by loud tourists and expensive cristal objects. :P The dragon at the entrance was amazing though, I should've taken a picture of it.
