Today i fetched the book Either-or by Søren Aabye Kirkegaard, a danish philosopher of the nineteenth century. I really wanted to finally read something from him, because lately i felt some mysterious pull toward his thoughts. Well, now i got it, and three weeks to read it. Maybe i’ll manage somehow (then i’ll have to start reading the required books for literature lessons).

~ will also have to write that comparison essay on the political philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, i think that if i start right now after writing this post, i may manage to do it, and i might even have time to practice german. I’ll have to since i’m going on a serious competition (OKTV)…

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.”

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.

J. K. Rowling made an announcement, that shouldn’t ever been made. In my opinion, such things are only to be written down in free-minded fanfiction writings. Right, it’s her freedom, but i think she should’ve left these stuff mistery, giving everyone the chance to continue the story as he wants. I can understand why she did this, and i won’t think badly of her just because of this, but i could’ve lived without it. At Leaky Cauldron there is a shocking article about the appearance of the writer at Carnegie Hall, where she unveiled some post-books facts about Neville and a scandalous announcement about everyone’s beloved headmaster Dumbledore. Read it only if you’re sure you want to, and you’ve read the Deathly Hallows, or are willing to be spoiled.

Somehow i’m happy that i’m not hunted by a Ludovician, but if i may still happen to be running away from one sometime in the future, i hope it’ll eat me as quickly as it can. Still, everything would be better than slowly losing my memories, and with them, myself. On the other hand, some humans also possess the ability to turn people into someone else. Those are dangerous ones, as they are totally concealed by their human outfit, still they are… something more. Or not? Dunno. I’m talking strange again, nay? I hate to be played around with. Really. So please, be so kind and decide, you who have something to decide in relation to me. Thanks.

By the way, the Ludovician is the idea of Steven Hall, playing an important role in The raw shark texts, the book i’m reading now.
