This week has been pretty emotionally draining. Obviously I have to find something in addition to my daily light-therapy, because it really can’t go on like this. So I called first the hospital where I was diagnosed, which was not very helpful, because I’m not quite ready for anti-depressiva yet. Then I called my doctor, and he recommended a shrink to me. I guess I’ll call him on Monday and see what he has to say…
That is, if he’s open on Monday - it’s carnival time here in Basel, die drey scheenste Dääg (the three most beautiful days) are starting Monday morning at 4am. And I’ll be there, together with Adrian, for who I’ll play Fasnacht guide. Is going to be fun - freezing, though.
More about Fasnacht (hopefully with pics) later. Have a good Oscars weekend everyone!

This week’s Unconscious Mutterings:
- Angel:: wings
- Birth:: day
- Logic:: Mr. Spock
- Stars:: in the sky
- Nursery:: rhyme
- View:: point
- Hart:: to Hart
- Creation:: of the world
- End:: of all things
- Fortune:: cookie
I was supposed to go to work again today, but for the first time since I started there I found a replacement on short notice because I didn’t feel up to it. But I’m feeling better than yesterday, especially mentally, so that’s good.
It’s all grey and rainy outside, so I guess this’ll be a lazy day spent drinking tea and resting… And maybe I’ll even get some reading done for my fieldwork paper.
I’m also thinking of getting another domain for myself and for hosting. That stuff is addictive! It’ll probably be raspberry-kisses.net - what do you think of it? I’ve also been kind of tempted to get fandomish.net, as a purely fannish domain for fanlistings and stuff, but I’ve always dreamed of a raspberry domain. Chocolate only won out the first time, because well… it’s chocolate! *g*
Actually I came up with a whole list of names - I had way too much fun with GoDaddy. My third favorite is probably faerie-wings.net. Tell me what you think of my ideas - maybe I’ll change my mind about the raspberries…
- raspberry-kisses.net
- raspberrykiss.net
- fandomish.net
- fan-nish.net
- faerie-wings.net
- dance-with-me.net
- sun-kisses.com
- butterfly-kissed.net
- empty-pages.net
- pen-and-paper.net
I just thought the last two up, as a matter of fact, because besides chocolate, raspberries and fannish things, I’d also kind of like something to do with writing, with books and pages… Sadly enough, bookish.net/.com/.org is already taken, and I don’t want a .us domain. If only Swiss domains (.ch) weren’t so expensive…
But now I’m starving and am off to breakfast.

I’m a bit sick today, which doesn’t go very well with having to work. But so’s life, right? Haven’t done much all week, despite the break and the many things waiting to be done - just didn’t have the energy. Don’t know if it’s SAD or the flu or whatever, and it doesn’t really matter, does it? These six weeks will be over much too quick in any case.
But I haven’t just been sitting around - I’ve reorganized my site collective and I’ve gone to the movies a couple of times. Too many good films in the theatre right now - three more I have already agreed on going to see with people, and there are some more I’d be interested in. I wish we had 1$ cinemas like they do in the US!
Now I need to get ready for work. Hope it won’t be too unbearable - will take more meds with me, just in case, because there’s no going home early in that job, as I’m all by myself at the reception.
Wishing everyone a good weekend!

But anyway - here are the Saturday Senses:
[taste]:: If you could no longer taste any liquids/drinks, which liquid/drink would you miss and which would you be happy not to taste anymore?
I’d miss the fresh and comforting taste of peppermint tea, which is just about my favorite drink in the world. I would not mind not being able to taste coffee, truth be told.
[touch]:: If you could no longer feel physical pain, which kind of pain would you be happy to never feel again (I know all sorts of pain are bad, but choose one that is specifically the worst for you).
I’m not good with pain in general, but seeing that every month I’ve got cramps (although not so bad anymore, thanks to the wonders of the pill) I definitely wouldn’t mind getting rid of those…
[sight]:: If you could no longer read, which part of your life would be most affected? Additionally, look around you and try to imagine how many things you wouldn´t be able to do in the room you´re in if that ever happened.
Not being able to read? That would be the most awful thing in the world! No online anymore and, even worse, no books? My room is filled with shelves and shelves of books — it’d just about kill me not to be able to read them anymore…
[smell]:: Which food´s smell is so much “part of the food” that you´d miss smelling if you could no longer smell anything you eat?
Oh, there are so many things where the smell is an important part of it — but I think I’d miss most smelling anything with chocolate, vanilla or honey in it, because those give the food so much more of a comfort factor.
[hearing]:: If you could no longer hear people´s voices, whose voice would you be glad not to hear and whose voice would you miss hearing?
There are some voices that grate in my ears, mostly when people have the habit of yelling instead of speaking. I’m mostly thinking of some of my old people at the retirement home here. And miss? I’d miss the voices of anyone I love, because the voice is so much part of them…

All in all I had a good weekend — spent Saturday with Adrian, taking a little road trip through Switzerland, and then spent most of Sunday in front of the TV before meeting a couple of friends for drinks and chats in the evening.
The TV marathon happened because at the moment I am completely hooked on the first season of ‘24′, which I borrowed from Adrian. I started watching yesterday morning and am halfway through now — that show has me on my toes, that’s for sure…
This is the last week of uni before the break, but I’m not feeling very productive at the moment, regardless of the two papers I’m supposed to write and the article about blogging that I should have finished next Saturday and have not even started. This semester was over so very quick, it’s crazy, and I didn’t really accomplish anything. Hopefully I’ll be better next semester, what with spring coming and all…
And here’s this week’s Unconscious Mutterings:
- Identity:: crisis
- Reveal:: myself
- Live:: life to the fullest
- Attitude:: problem
- Night:: out on the town
- Nevada:: Vegas
- Weekend:: trip
- Write:: block
- Friend:: the best
- Seventeen:: I’m glad I’m not anymore

- Ballet:: dancer

Wow, those are weird answers!

I’m actually doing pretty well. Just got a bit of a cold and was quite busy over the weekend due to a uni workshop, so I’m making up for the lazing about I couldn’t do then…
