PRAISE THE GODS

That essay.
I finished the examination seminar like I would have my second breakfast.


I passed. I survived. It's over.



 It would seem that I will be drinking a bottle of fine champagne this weekend. I've been waiting for so long and now I'm done. Done, I tell you.

My job according to Bernard and Manny

I sell wine and other alcoholic beverages for a living and therefore must develop certain bullshitting skills in order to convince customers to choose wines I find would suit their specifications. Sometimes it sounds like I'm an all-knowing expert and at other times it just sounds... a bit like this:


I don't really see the problem. You just have to choose your audience with care.

Past deadline

I've handed in my essay. It's not great. But it's in. I can't do anything but prepare to defend it. In a few days we'll find out if I can pop that bottle of champagne or if I'll have to wait a little while longer.

WHAT

Writing an essay with only two days until deadline. This is EXACTLY what it feels like.

Problem

I still find it strange that some people find it to be "unrealistic" to have people who aren't white and/or straight in works of the fantasy and sci-fi genre while dragons, trolls, aliens and talking snowmen are just fine.

No Oscars for you

How hard can it be to give Leonardo DiCaprio an Oscar?
I didn't see the award show because as soon as I thought I'd found a good live stream it was only for the red carpet. For the actual show... nothing that worked where I live. Not for lack of trying to find something because I was up until 3AM. Which is why I'm now both tired and bitter.
