A cure for lethargy?

[taotrooper]

Man, I haven't updated in ages because I... really didn't know what to talk about? I've been either too busy or too lazy to do anything beyond uploading Okami fanart recs on Tumblr, and that's because it's three clicks.

It's pretty sad, actually. I have a lot of DVDs to watch, a lot of books to read, a lot of games to play. But I can never decide what to do next. NOT TO MENTION MY UNI FINAL PROJECT ON HIATUS SINCE SEPTEMBER OR SOMETHING. I feel like a loser.

But enough emo! So we got some extra money from a lawsuit, and my mom wants to take me to visit Madrid for a couple of days! :D I always have to be left behind on holidays because they need someone to catsit and chipmunksit the pets -it has its perks, as I can be alone for a few days. I've only visited other Spanish cities (Vigo and Oviedo) for legal paperwork, and my brothers met the South on a school trip.

Anyway, Madrid! Hey guys, I need to plan the places I want to check out because we're limited in time/money. We know that at least we're seeing the zoo and at least one art museum (no idea which one, any help?), and I'll insist on Las Cibeles and Fuente de Neptuno. What else can you recommend for a tourist? Thanks!

When are you leaving? :o /paws

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

No date decided yet. My uncle is planning to go to Caracas on March so it has to be before that.

[fujurpreux.livejournal.com]

Do let us know ;v; /icons

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Sure!

Meh, tampoco que dos días sin avisar hiatus afecten mucho el juego. /forever alone slowatus

[fujurpreux.livejournal.com]

Deja eso. :| A nivel personal te extrañaremos. ;; (Y también tenemos que pedirte que nos traigas cosas :D ♥)

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Cómo voy a traer cosas, sob. Entre que llevamos poca maleta porque sale ir a patitas hasta el hostal, y que mamá no va a querer que haga stop en una tienda friki o librería, ya sólo queda museos y placitas y esas cositas.

*/se pone a rodar contigo

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Como le digo a Sha en Plurk, aunque fuese más comprensiva la mamma con mis fandoms, la ciudad es hueg liek xbox (la vez que ellos fueron a comprar un coche, se tardaron un día en llegar al lugar entre tren y tren y perdidas, not lying) y no podemos cruzarla así sólo para mirar vitrinas. A no ser que haya una en la zona que estemos, sob.

[fujurpreux.livejournal.com]

Eso pasa en las ciudades grandes DB

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Por eso pregunto a ver si las españolas me recomiendan lugares turísticos, para que planeemos algo bonito :3 Igual estoy ahorrando para dos videojuegos que salen en Marzo.

[fujurpreux.livejournal.com]

Al menos tráeme fotitos :D

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Definitely! 8D

I have a lot of DVDs to watch, a lot of books to read, a lot of games to play. But I can never decide what to do next.

That's. Pretty much me, as well '-' /se trepa

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

At least you're working and getting your degree ;; *feels useless*

[sha-chan.livejournal.com]

Not my degree yet--I'm running away from doing my thesis like crazy ;; /is scared

But you can do it, Kiri! C'mon! Top that project!! /cheers you on!

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

At least it's good for CV and you do something for... something.

...It's been so long since I last worked on it, I forgot everything I've done so far. And I'm too lazy/busy to take my notes and study them. Then I feel bad for not studying and I do nothing. VICIOUS CYCLE.

[sha-chan.livejournal.com]

Honey, you've got to make yourself check and re-read your stuff and get to work on it again. I know you know this, but. Yes >x

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Lo sé mejor que nadie, pero entre más me presiono/presionan, más culpa me entra y más me bloqueo.

[sha-chan.livejournal.com]

No si no quiero presionarte, namás me preocupo que estés estancada ahí ):

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Yo soy la que me presiono, no worries.

...Y mi familia porque TIENES 28 Y NO TE GRADUASTE HDU.

[sha-chan.livejournal.com]

/te secuestra a una island paradaisu para que puedas trabajar y relajarte sin presiones extra

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Ffffff, si en una isla paradais me quedo leyendo libros y jugando cosas, no trabajando en nada |D

[sha-chan.livejournal.com]

No, yo voy a estar ahí. Pokeándote moderadamente |D!

No recommendations, but that sounds like a really cool trip.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

It could be cooler if I wasn't going with my mom, since that would be limiting my places to visit. Therefore, no extremely geeky places like hobby stores or bookstores. Not that I can buy anything cool anyway, as we're probably bringing little luggage.

[sairei.livejournal.com]

That sounds so wonderful! I'd love to visit Spain sometime, you're so lucky! I hope that you have a great, fun time.

Unfortunately I have no recommendations. ;;

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I do live in Spain, but in a lame Northern zone. But maaaaaan, can't wait to visit a capital!

[she-wolf.livejournal.com]

No idea what to see in Madrid, since I've never been. Want to go there sometime though; tell us the good spots when you get back!

And I so feel you on the lethargy. I get home these days and can't do anything.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Sure, can do! It was more directed to the Spaniards in my flist, they should know them better than a cold google search.

Aww :( At least you go out. Lately I just... sit there, in a worker's block of sorts.

Se parece mucho a mi vida xD Ni siquiera actualizo LJ como antes T.T

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Es que si no haces nada, no se te ocurre de qué hablar :'D Hasta con los fandoms, vamos. Estas cosas me pasan mucho en invierno, antes por los exámenes y este año por... no sé, la verdad, será el frío.

I've been applying for jobs, but I can't really recommend it since every time a job interview results in nothing it just ends up making me feel more lethargic.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I sent a couple of job apps this December, but I didn't get called back anyway. It's pretty useless to hunt for jobs, because while in USA and most first-world countries the crisis is more or less over, in Spain it's not. Half the population on unemployment.

[ayasugi-san.livejournal.com]

because while in USA and most first-world countries the crisis is more or less over

Not where I am, it isn't. I've applied to three temp agencies, and none of them have any openings. Besides those, I apply to at least five jobs a week, and I'm lucky if I get one job interview in two weeks.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Well, compared to almost anywhere else you guys are recovering in a general sense. And that's why I said more or less.

[ayasugi-san.livejournal.com]

I guess we're recovering in the sense that people who lost their jobs when the recession started have mostly gotten re-employed by now. Those of us entering the workforce, however, are still screwed.
