Do you have a biro? I mean PEN.

Oh my god. That was probably the worst joke I've ever come up with. I feel like poop, you guys. I think I caught a cold yesterday because I was so lazy I couldn't get myself to stand up and put on pants. Pathetic. Anyways PEN started out kinda bad and I still think it was a watered up version of last year. The place was bigger, which is supposed to be a good thing but it was like you put too much water into your lemonade. Or just like festival beer, come to think of it. But the last day was pretty damn good, thanks to the ever wonderful Dj Enikő, who filled the biggest tent with her simple ability to put on good music. In the end she had to be dragged off the stage at 4am sharp, because the lame organizers never learn their lesson. You can't finish last night at 4am. LAME. I admit I haven't been to too many concerts. I think I saw Žagar, Uno Y Medio and Quimby to be quite precise, bwhahaha. I had been to better concerts of either band but it was alright since I didn't pay for the ticket. It turned out that some of the sponsored tickets used at the festival were leftovers from last year and since I'm a fanatic and I collect and keep all of my past festival tickets I just slipped on last year's and recycled it. I am made of win as kids say these days.

So last week I've been to PEN but when I wasn't there I was watching my birthday present at home. My birthday is on the 17th of May but I found the perfect presents for myself last week on Vatera, an auction site and I just had to buy them sooner and what bargains they were. I bought two seasons (3rd, 4th) of Six Feet Under for 8000 Forints. The box of the 3rd season is in pretty bad shape even though it's supposed to be in an unopened condition but I can't complain since it was half the price. I don't think this will be any news for you but I, of course, watched the two seasons by the end of the weekend and I started on Thursday and fit a festival into the week too. Ha. I have to reestablish and stress the fact that it's still the best TV show ever, with quotes like "Nate. The whole world is a cemetery." and
-Come on, at least you're alive! What's a little pain to you?
-Life can't be this simple.
-Why not?

Meh. Last two weeks of school. Do. Not. Want. I have to remember not to use up my 2 possible missed classes next semester because I will need them in the last two weeks. I still have to write like 2-4 papers and have to get hold of the movie "Rejtély" by Haneke. I've seen it a few months ago but that's no foundation to build a paper on. I took a few photos at PEN and I'm going to share them with you along the photos of my lovely presents. I also changed my super-emo artsy profile picture to one taken on the last dawn of PEN, it captures my new haircut just right! This is probably my last post but there was so much I was going to write about and didn't. It makes me sad.

Okay. Not THAT sad apparently because last Tuesday it was announced that
NINE INCH NAILS PLAYS BUDAPEST THIS SUMMER. YAY.
*insert insufferable flailing*

Cheers, You Guys!

I actually snapped this photo right at the moment when a professional photographer flashed. Life is so random.

P.s.: I think Doctors House and Cuddy are going to have sex tonight on an all new episode of House. This could be the best birthday present ever, you guys. :D:D:D:D

I Owe You An

Explanation.

A few moths ago we had a discussion in class about people not having lives. I wanted to explain that since then. So the main idea is that not having a life is not necessarily bad in a sense. When I say I don't have a life, it means that I'm so passionate about something that it takes up all my free time and most of my non-free time too. So it doesn't mean anything emo-related depressive teenage angst, just that for example I love House so I could watch it all day long abandoning the rest of the world because it gives me joy. I don't see what's wrong with that.

I had to realise two things today: spring break is over and I won't see Nine Inch Nails probably for years or ever again live. Both of them gives me grief. Fortunately this semester I'm organised enough to have my exam period kind of sort of planned out in advance and I'm quite happy with it if I may say so. I hope there's no glitch in my plan.

I also heard that Amazon is boycotting gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender literature and they are trying to make it look like it's a system breakdown. Pathetic. Basically they erased the sales ranks of these books, thus not including them in their top lists and decreasing their sales big time. If you'd like to sign a petition against Amazon and would like some further reading in the topic, go here.

I basically did nothing in spring break BUT I watched the third season of Dexter and I have to say, you guys, this is THE BEST available TV show right now IN THE WORLD. Yes, it's better than House. If House wouldn't be broadcast on a national TV channel, that would be the best but this way it's Dexter. Basically the whole mentality of a national TV show is so different from that of a more daring, independent TV channel's programme, like Dexter, because it is based on the exploitation of the audience. The producers of House want to chain you to your TV set, no matter what but the producers of Dexter want to make something lasting and valuable and that difference can be felt and makes the latter more enjoyable. But House is still the best of the mass productions.

Speaking of House, it's 1:22am and at 2am the live broadcast starts from New York so I have to tune in soon. It'll be fun to get up at 8.

I just remembered that I actually went to the World Press thing in Pécs and I really liked it but it's very cold in the Cella Septichora Center and the photos are pretty depressing to add to the chilly mood. So don't take your girlfriend if you don't want a sobfest.

I'm listening to my LastFm radio channel and my favourite song by NOHA just came on! I'm going to see them live this summer! I'm going to Fishing On Orfű, Balaton Sound (Moby), Hegyalja (NOHA+Basement Jaxx) and Sziget festivals and though my heart breaks every time at the thought of not seeing NIN live this summer, it's still gonna be awesome.

I made a decision of starting to collect my favourite TV shows on DVD so I took the first steps and asked for the first season of Six Feet Under for my birthday which is pretty near now and I won't be able to concentrate on anything else until the 17th of May! I really love that show! After collecting all of Six Feet Under, I'll move on to House and then Dexter. But that is years away. Maybe I won't even be alive by then. :D Nah, I will be.
