This semester I'm taking Historiography, and Early Jewish Magic... don't really know that much about it, but sounds interesting

You haven't finished it yet?

I'm shocked, I thought you were a hardcore gamer
Early Jewish magic - sounds interesting, I've heard there was some heavy mysticism in the early beliefs...or is this something else? And what on earth is historiography? Sounds like it has something to do with the writing of history, or is it just a false friend?

You have to keep us updated

and if you have to gripe at the same time then we dont mind

@Ysh: I'm happy to hear you are also doing great

The job stuff is quite technical and probably lethally boring to people not working in the business, but my lastest analysis shows we might have found conclusive evidence for some hypothesis about the function of the serotonin system in the human brain, and it also suggests some previously unknown functions
@Sleep: What is "gripe"?

Hi Nael, what's up?

It doesn't matter, as long as it means what you say it means.

I have a friend in London who always teaches his English friends a lot of really stupid words in Swedish and then tell them it means something completely else. The effect when these people meet Swedes and try to say something polite in Swedish, is hillarius

Sometimes in a nasty way, though

That sounds interesting. I just wish I could remember what the serotonin system is.

I know, I'm slipping

I played today for the first time in quite a few weeks - kind of had other priorities

Yeah, that kind of thing I think, like I said I don't know much about it...

And you are correct, historiography is the study of how history is written
Sorry about the long delay, my parents phoned on my mobile...

Good evening Ysh, Nael and SS...
