Swiss'd!

More than anything right now, I want to go to Lucerne. Seriously, right now. NOW. Totally my place-in-Europe-I-will-not-leave-before-seeing thing now. I'm not entirely sure why it's taken hold of me so, but whoa. Lucerne. Totally.

Anyone ever been there? *looks at nickless*

Also, anyone know of any more cheap intra-Europe airlines besides RyanAir, EasyJet, Flybe, and BMI? I found a cheap EasyJet flight from London to Basel (then 1.5-hour train ride to Lucerne), but it requires yet another stay overnight in London, as it leaves reeeeally early in the morning, and I'd like to avoid that.

The weather is terrible. It's windy and drizzly and chilly and grey. Typical February day, really. (I always feel a bit disloyal when I criticize February, as my birthday is in the month, but it and January really do have more than their share of nasty days.) Made worse by the Guild travel office not having any internet access and thus being unable to sell us tickets for our next class trip to London, so we had to walk into town to get them. And then I promptly forgot to ask if we could go ahead and buy the train/bus/admission to Leeds Castle from London while we were there. Argh. Another trip to the Guild office!

So, yes, was in a bad mood this afternoon, but seeing a few more daffodils (two-toned ones this time! Orange and yellow! Still haven't seen any white-and-yellows, which are my favorites, though) in someone's front patch of green on the way back to campus lifted my spirits some, as did the pretty fall of plum tree blossoms that happened as I was walking up the alley back to Lafrowda.

I've had the soundtrack to The Village (which I still haven't seen) stuck in my head all day. It really goes quite well with this weather. Lots of frantically-somber violins and flutes and things.

Oh, and I managed to get my hands ona copy of "Threads." Will ramble about that and "The Seige" later on. Will also reply to comments later, too. Maybe once I get some dinner...

"Threads"

To continue the fandom go boom, I give you ( massive spoilers for Threads )

So, little spiders have invaded my room.

Did I mention that SPIDERS have invaded MY ROOM?

*shrieks*

I don't usually have a problem with spiders, but these are rather large little buggers, maybe a couple centimeters long and very quick. Um, are small light brown English spiders poisonous? *runs off to Google*
