Volger looked out across the glacier, his hands deep in his pockets. “May I be frank?” Alek laughed. “Feel free to put aside your usual tact.” “I shall,” Volger said. “When your father decided to marry Sophie, I was one of those who tried to talk him out of it.” “So I have your dismal powers of persuasion to thank for my existence.” “You’re very welcome.”

On July 10th, 1856, Nikola Tesla was born at midnight during a lightning storm. The midwife thought the violent storm was a bad omen and declared he would be a child of darkness, to which his mother replied, “No. He will be a child of light.” Source

What week is it? It’s freakin Dalek Week! And yet again I’m not able to finish the whole week… Hey, taking entering exams for universities is as good of an excuse as any, right? I really like today’s topic. For some reason it made me think about that Norman Greenbaum’s song Spirit In The Sky (alright, the reason is Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack…). And stargazing is pretty romantic, isn’t it? Embracing each other during starry night (Yay for Deryn being taller than Alek!). So I started to look for suitable constellations and OMG there is the “cetus” constellations which means “whale”. There is literally a whale up in the sky. FUN FACT!

Sometimes I think about Leviathan like specifically the airship and I remember how it’s just a flying fucking whale and I recall also how much I love that concept

#STEAMPUNK #which character do you think would have this?

An actual thing that happened while I did a presentation in an advanced German language class

Me: So Frau Vogel -

Prof: Vogel? That isn't what it says on the handout you made.

Me: What? No, I meant Vogel. Her last name is Vogel. What does the handout say?

Prof: V-O-L-G-E-R

Me: what (frantically looks at the handout) oh

Prof: Haha! That's quite the typo! Volger!

Me: oh

Prof: I didn't miss anything did I? There wasn't anyone in the article named Volger, right? You must have been thinking of someone else when you typed this up.

Me: OOOOooooohhhoohhhhhhohohohhoho
