Eventhough I said I would revise the previous post, I decided not to.
The BBA thing didn't happen that I applied to, but maybe better luck in the spring.
So as I didn't have anything better to do, I decided to go back to school, upper secondary school that is. The week before last I went to talk with the studies coordinator and as it turned out, a new perioid was just about to start the next week (incase I'm confusing you, that's week 50) so it was a bit sudden but all for the best. Pretty easy start too because only 6 days of school before x-mas holidays (it's part of a adult education system and classes are only on Mon-Thu) I wouldn't have minded going to sit an listen about things in between but I guess a holiday after months of holidaying doesn't make much of a difference. After tomorrow, the next "school day" will be on 9th of January, which makes me realise that this year my happy-who-cares-'cause-I-don't birthday is on friday...not that it would make any difference though =]
Books books, have read these in the last few months:
- Douglas Adams - Dirk Genty's Holistic Detective Agency (11/005)
- Kurt Vonnegut's - Sirens of Titan (started several months ago, finished in beginning of 12/005)
- Isaac Asimov - Foundation (9/2005)
- Philip K. Dick - Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said (10/005) and Ubik (also 10/005)
- Operation Eichmann - pursuit and capture (9-10/005)
So I finally got started with Asimov's Foundation trilogy (or actually it does have 5 parts but the two newer have been written several years after the first three), the first book was pretty good actually and I'm looking forward to starting on the second. Operation Eichmann was also increasingly interesting towards the end of it, seemed realistic enough to be true. At the least, I got some more interest towards history related books now thatn before.
At the moment I'm reading Arthur C.Clarke's Earthlight, almost finished it though. Others I have from library are: Clarke's A Fall of Moondust, Philip K.Dicks Bladerunner and Asimovs second book of the foundation trilogy, Foundation & Empire. Also my grandfather (from my mothers side) loaned me a book about the history of the universe called "The five ages of the universe - Inside the physics of eternity" written by some fellows named Fred Adams and Greg Laughlin. Don't know who either of them are but I'm most likely going to find out before I read it. Anyways, should be interesting read, eventhough the basic things are pretty familiar to me already since I've always been facinated about astrology and related.
The book listing is going pretty well too, 75 books so far, including almost all I own currently.
Should be uploadable some time soon.
Some computer related things also happened, and still have alot of things I haven't written to .pwer...but it's not a very high priority. In short, installed OS again and last weekend installed Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow to maybe finish it some time soon. Every evening I'm looking forward to playing it but so far not an appropriate moment for it, always too late or too busy writing something...it's been rather nice to have alot of things to do lately =]
I'd like to wish everyone who might read this a Merry Christmas and as the tradition requires, a Happy New Year! =] Sincerely, hope everyone has a good time where ever you are...untill the next post.
Good night
