gribouille=> I'm rather proud of my last icon post (mostly about Pulp Fiction). So proud that I'm advertising it : you can see it here@![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
a_song_of. It's not perfect, some icons are even bad (I was not very inspired by the "colour" part of the challenge), but well.
=> I'm also proud of my result at the "code" (basically : training for the driving theory test, you have to get less than 5 mistakes). Lately I've been doing 5 mistakes or less without cheating (long story), and today I even got 3. Hopefully I'll be ready for the real test in April (still don't know the date, won't till the end of March).
=> The A Song of Ice and Fire TV show has been approved by HBO ! It's going to be broadcast around spring 2011 though... that's a long time to wait... but I'm sure it'll be worth it.
=> One of the homeworks I have to do for May consists in reading a book around British Civilization and basically make a summary of it (which is not as interesting as the similar exercises we used to do last year, but I'll have to deal with it). I chose The British Isles. A History of Four Nations, by Hugh Kearney. At first I thought I'd pick a novel dealing with Irish History that seemed interesting (Angela's Ashes) but I found this one in the library and I might have more to say about it, on the point of view of historiography - which is a subject I'm very fond of. So far it's been rather interesting, though I've only read the Introduction and the first chapter. Basically the author tries to consider History on the "British" point of view, showing the links between the different parts of Great Britain (including Ireland) as well as the differences. And I like the fact that he uses archaeology to illustrate what he says.
=> I have to re-read Tess... though it can wait a few weeks. Seeing the movie (maybe tonight if I get the time to) might help me remember it.
