JanNoWriMo challenge : "Attic Mirror" part 6

I had a kind of a writer block but I think I'm over it now.
I went to Dublin on Tuesday and wrote a lot in the bus. Today I wrote 3000 words and I still have a lot of ideas. I'm still a bit worried of the ending of the story but I guess I just have to let it comes by itself no. Just write one more part at a time until the end and that will do.
I think that not thinking about finishing is helping me a lot.

Stats 8961 words more so that's a total of 44023 words.
Less than 6000 words more to write before the end of JanNoFiMo. One of my friends is wondering how come I didn't finish yet. I'm not going to disappoint her. I'll sure have my 50000 words by the end of the month.

Physics : An other article published

En français
One other article has been published in "Journal Physics B : At. Mol. Opt. Phys". The title is : "Influence of autoionizing states on the pulse-length dependence of strong-field Ne⁺ photoionisation at 38.4 eV".

In this one the novelty is that we used the time-dependent R-matrix approach to investigate ionization of ground-state Ne⁺ for several laser field intensities. We discovered that the ionization probability oscillates with pulse length, which is due to population and depopulation of autoionizing states just above the Ne^{2 +} ground state, reached after absorption of a single photon. That's something new that hadn't been studied before.

The paper can be found here.

Peru

En français
From the 18th of November 2009 until the 8th of December 2009, I have been traveling in the South of Peru. That was our first time in South America.

JanNoWriMo challenge : "Attic Mirror" part 5

I went through a kind of writer block and didn't reach my word count every day.
I'm getting better. I went to spend one afternoon in a café writing by hand and came back with a lot of ideas. I found some of my characters really inspiring, especially Gideon. He wasn't supposed to be in Demon Soul at the start but he was very helpful there and I wanted to have him in Attic Mirror as well without really knowing how. But now I realize that he is one of my favorite character and I love having hum around even if that's only for a minor role.

Stats : 6005 words more for a total of 35062 words.

Christmas Amigurumi : Xiao Meng's Amineko

En français
And one more Amineko to the list. I made this one for my friend Xiao Meng. She really liked it and said that she will always keep it with her to give her strength as I'm always so strong and energetic. That's funny I think. On the second picture you can see it with Bleuet and Rosie.

Cooking : The sushi workshop

En français
It has been like forever since the last time I wrote a cooking post.
Well that one is a bit different from the others as it's not about recipe or a diet as usual but about a class.
Yesterday evening we went to my favorite Japanese restaurant in Belfast "The ginger tree" to have a sushi workshop. That was Sebastien's Christmas present. Two hours of making sushi with chef Taro explaining us everything and showing us how to roll the sushi and add the ingredient, followed buy a dinner at the end of which we could ask questions.
We also learn a bit more about Japanese sushi due to chef Taro's little quiz. Seriously if you are in Belfast don't hesitate to go for a workshop it seriously worth it.

At the end of the evening we went back home with our box of sushi each and the sushi mate we had been using. Don't they look so delicious ?
