Otthon - At home

... úgy három héttel ezelőtt :)

... about three weeks ago :)

Szóval azt már megemlítettem, hogy voltam otthon, és repülővel mentem :D Aztán voltam színházban, rokonlátogatni, kicsit bóklásztunk Tatabányán - mert az egy olllyan szép hely - , vonatozunk, összeszedtem egy jó kis megfázást, meg három könyvet. No kb ennyi :)

I already mentioned flying home :D After that, i went to theatre, visited relatives, took a stroll at Tatabánya - coz it's sooo beautyful ;) - , traveled with train a lot, picked up a cold, and three books. In short :)

Theater was fun. I went with my mum, who in the past 1- 1 and a half year became a musical fun, and became acquainted whit quite a few theaters and stages in the capitol, Budapest. But this was prose, not music, so i was a bit afraid that she won't like it or will be bored all evening. I trusted in the actors though, as the theater - Katona Jozsef Színház - has a very strong troup of actors. No wonder this was my favourite place.
It was a bit like going home, or at least to a very familiar and very kind place; all the ugly plastic-marble walls, the too small buffet and hall, the low ceiling full with stage lamps overhead, the small auditorium whit the red chairs... it was all very cozy.
We didn't get disappointed. The performance was a bit slow for me, since i wasn't in theater for 4-5 years now, the pace was slower then usual anyways as this was a russian piece, Barbarians by Gorky, and well, russians in a small town, that's always slow. We had some laughter though - that's another thing i like in this place, they make you smile and think at the same time like nowhere else - and it was overall a very nice evening. Full house of course, whit people standing on the stairs, as usual here.
I saw my favourite actor playing someone rude and loud (and ugly :P) for the first time, and that was strange, like he changed too, i thought; but at the and, when they came to bow (about three times, mum said "huhh, they got a lot of applause!" for which i told her that 3-4 rounds were the avarege here as far as i can remember), so, when they come to bow, each time he slipped back more to being himself - shy and cute - and visibly shaking off the character, the uglyness and grumpiness and all.
I dont know what the others did, maybe other actors do the same though :) I wasn't watching them, we sat in the 17th row, last but one row, bit too far.

Színház - Theatre

Megyek. Megfűztem anyut (nem volt nehéz, megmutattam neki a színlapot) - úgyhogy október 30, este hét, hét órával landolás után :) Maxim Gorkij: "Barbárok" a Katona József Színházban. Jessszz ^_^

I'm going. I persueded my mum (wasn't hard, just showed her the cast list) - so on the 30th October, at 7 pm, seven hours after landing :) Maxim Gorky: "Barbarians" at Katona Jozsef Theater, Budapest. Yessssss ^_^

Majdnem az összes fiatal szerepel, akiket megkedveltem anno az egyetem alatt amikor ide jártunk, plusz van egy csomó öregebb nagy név, akik miatt anyu rögtön rábólintott. És megjegyezte, milyen rendes tőlem, hogy hazajövök Angliából a művészetet pártolni :D

Almost all the younger ones i liked back then while at the university, will performing - that's why I wanted to see it - and there's lots of older big names, the reason my mum agreed right away. She even said how nice is from me, coming home from England and supporting culture. :D



És monjduk nem ártana, ha néha megnézném a saját posztjaimat hátha kommentel valaki...

And perhaps i should check sometimes my own posts in case someone comments...

Rock'n'roll

Finished a pair of wrist-warmers and a half a pair of fingerless mittens, that's the roll. Ordered buttons for the Isabella vest and i'm waiting for them - that's the 'n' or more like nnnn... (waitinnnng :D ) And rock is part from the fact that is started to listen some very old favourites of mine, hungarian rock-bands Lord and Omega - i didn't listened them for ages. Lord used to be my mum's favourite before she fund musicals and River of dreams by Billy Joel :) And Omega was my dad's thing, and as i know very few about him, it really brings him closer.
Plus i found Julie spinning this time not for jazz but Rammstein - she's a cool girl, her blog is one of those rare ones i follow since first stumbled onto it. Annnnnd right now i'm doing the last bits of planning for my next project for which i will finally use the Reactor coolant i bought from her in the summer. Right now i have nothing going on except the other half of the mitts and i did that in an afternoon, so aside from the nuclear thing - i'm trying to stick to this theme, that's why it took so long... - so i will start another one whit one of those second-package yarn, either the gatto (cat ) wool or the alpaca-merino, probably a lace-like scarf thing will that be. I will travel home at the end of the month and i will take one or both of these, hopefully already in mid- progress, with me so i will have somtehing to do when visiting relatives. I love my family, and is so good to see them and talk with them, but i always got bored as i dont have the computer around, cant go into a corner with a book, and i have no interest in tv. So i will have occupation now, and i'm much happier then usually for the prospect.

The other thing which took me - it usually takes me about every half a year - is the longing for theatre. When i was in university, around 2000- 2002, i went regularly. And theatre in Budapest is fabulous. A classmate took me first, for a last rehearsal in Katona Jozsef Theatre - and after that, i suspect i spent an overtly big part of my allowance on tickets. Katona remained my all-time favourite - a really rock'n'roll kind of place, where they play classics very well, and all the while you can lough too and is very modern without being, whats the expression, being 'art for art's sake'. So when i have this craving, i usually go to their homepage and read everything about their new stuff and trying to imagine the performances, and after that about the old stuff i know well coz i saw them multiple times, and check out the pictures even though most of those i already saw before... They are still as good as ever, the actors i liked the most - mostly very young then - turned out to be amongst the best of their generation, and i wish i could go and watch them when i go home. I doubt i could do that though coz they are always sold out...
I went to other places too, and i saw some fantastic performances, eg. Monty Python and the Holy Grail - on stage, that one was frenetic! But in general, others where less colourful and couldn't captivate me so much. And now my mum became a musical fan - i reckon it's a family thing :D So maybe she will surprise me with somehting :)
