Bugger, bugger, bugger. Folks, is.net and femgeeks are both down for the next few days until I get paid and can pay this overdue bill I stupidly forgot about. E-mail works, but unfortunately this does mean I cannot, for example, access my plotting wiki. This makes me a very sad Melle. Woe.

[ETA] OH FUCKING GREAT! Now the e-mail isn't working anymore, either. Please to be directing any and all communications to femgeeks[at]gmail[dot]com until further notice. [/ETA]

So, anyway, who wants to make me an icon of Barty Crouch, Jr. and his wand, and the caption "This could be more sonic."?

So, one year two years ago today, I arrived in Edinburgh. Technically, it was yesterday, but I constantly get my dates mixed up--this is why LJ is a good thing, I can go back and check the dates on events, heh--, but today was my actual expat anniversary. It feels odd.

I've often meant to write about the culture shock and little things that made/make the big difference to me, but in the end, the subtle differences between Belgium and Scotland aren't really all that interesting, and I 'd have to be here a bit longer still before I'll be able to be coherent about the actual "expat experience," so. Yeah.

So yes, this entry basically has no piont. ("This is different from your usual entries how?" Shut up.)
