It seems i like writing such things, so there’s even more coming…
The Raven
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“‘Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door –
Only this, and nothing more.”

Lovecraft
A while ago i just came across the name Cthulhu after a long time. Before now, i heard about it only in the gaming magazine i’m subscribed to, GameStar, in a very-very old issue, where there were some news about the progress of the Call of Cthulhu game. I was interested by the name then, maybe that’s why i didn’t forget it. So, i looked it up in Wikipedia, and found out about H. P. Lovecraft’s works, which really interested me. Then after a while i found a hungarian publisher that sells the complete Lovecraft collection, and i thought about buying it, but then i put that idea on shelf as i didn’t have much money. And then again, not so long ago, while just looking for Poe audio books on mininova, i stumbled upon the Cthulhu phrase again, in the name of a Lovecraft collection audio book torrent. Didn’t take an hour, they were on my MuVo.
Dark Passion Play
The new Nightwish one, i mean. It sounds great, it sounds new with many “hit” songs like Amaranth, which was first released as a music video, but also Master Passion Greed and Whoever Brings the Night. I still have to get used to the new singing style, as Anette’s vocal range is far not as wide as Tarja’s was, she mostly only sings in the higher regions—i wonder how many times she was told this! But it’s positive that this album is pretty fast and doesn’t lack traditional Nightwish tunes while being so new. I had some trouble finding the bonus track, (The) Escapist, but it worths the time, being a great song. In the case of one song, For the Heart I Once Had, as it started i thought i accidentally placed a Sentenced song in the playlist, the guitars are tuned so much their way. Too bad Sentenced is out of the ring now… Back on topic, Nightwish did a good job with this album, i wonder if it’s going to become such a success as Once. They’ll be coming in Hungary next march, i’m thinking about going to that gig…

That nice code in the title was my id for today’s english written exam. As expected, it was easy, i only had trouble with the grammar part (also as expected). Then after arriving home at half past one, i soon departed for school where we had a dancing session until five, then i had fun with my friends in a local pub. On the way to and back Eger, where the exam was held, i listened to H. P. Lovecraft’s one masterpiece, Call of Cthulhu in audio book format i got just yesterday. It was great. I wonder which one of his work i should check next. I wonder if i should start Coelho’s Witch of Portobello, as i don’t really like the voice and style of the person reading it. Who knows.
Ache
Yesterday evening we went out to have fun with a friend, it was good for sure, but far not as good as i expected. I’m starting to think a lot-lot more against alcoholic parties, but that may be only because i’m somewhat overhung now. We also watched almost the whole Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but it was a bit too late to start at midnight.
Today i listened to Poe audio books, being too tired and unwell to read, they are also a good practice for tomorrow’s english exam. I’m not a bit afraid of it, just an exam out of many coming. I won’t take it lightly anyway, i have to pay attention even if it will be easy, so i won’t lose any points because of misreading something and such minor mistakes.
Also i listened to samples from the new Apocalyptica and Nightwish album, they sound great. Too bad it seems i won’t be able to go to that Apocalyptica gig next wednesday, since it’s midweek…

Been a while since i last did a post like this, but this painting really caught me.

Great
Today, i had a “short” twelve hour long workday, going to school before eight and arriving home shortly before eight. No matter, i still have a nice bunch of maths homework, not to mention writing the upcoming post i have in mind… I have the feeling that i won’t get in bed before half past eleven, which is especially painful, because i plan to go running tomorrow morning. I’m gonna be a zombie tomorrow. Funny again, as tomorrow we’ll be taking pictures for our graduation whatever.
Makes you think
Reading the official blog of the dad of my american exchange partner, i’ve found an interesting article, that compares the hungarian situation with the one in the States. Very interesting to read, especially if you’ve seen what’s going on in Hungary. Makes you think.
