Random

Ha a varrónő nagynéném olvasta volna a twilight könyveket, Carlisle lenne a kedvenc karaktere, azt hiszem. Majd megpusztultam mikor ezt megláttam... ("mert gyorsan varr" :D)
If my seamstress auntie have had read the twilight books, her favourite character would be Carlisle, i think. Almost fell off my chair from laughter seeing this.

Találtam egy kupac aranyosságot a deviantart-on - és már megint elrepült az idő...
I've found a bunch of funny stickers on deviantart :) - and run out of time again...

Ez pedig a személyes kedvencem (ma estére) =^_^=
And this is my personal favourite (for tonight) =^_^=

...

Tegnap megvettem a karácsonyi ajándékomat. Magamnak. Egy kiló fonal :D Remélem a postának elég lesz az egy hónap a kézbesítésre, a fa alatt már kötözködni akarok!
I also bought my christmas present. For myself. One kilogramm of yarn :D I hope one month will be enough for the post to deliver it, i want to knit under the tree!

Átmeneti lányos elmezavar - Temporary girly insanity

So i checked the cinema's program and went to watch New moon. 'Coz i like 1) wolves 2) forests 3) native americans . Mmmm.
There should have been an order to prohibit giggling. At 80% female audience, i'm not expecting much, but what was going on here was insufferable. The girls sitting in the first 3 rows just giggled on everything and constantly. Ok, not constantly, but in the wrong places sometimes - i mean, what is funny about Jacob sleeping? It was cute, not funny. But the wolves "fighting" over the muffins, then there was some serious silence. Female mind, i'll never get it :P :D

My personal opinions:
Best thing in the movie: i feel a bit, hm, overaged for this boys, but wow there was some eye-candy here. Jacob/Taylor Lautner got a huuuge whooop for taking off his t-shirt :D Every time :D Team Edward had they moment too, though i just couldn't stop giggling (in silence - I do have self-control :D) I always found vampires and they serious paleness slightly amusing. Guess i'm a wolf-girl.
Ah, and the wolves. I love the wolves. They werent too realistic, but still.

Worst thing : i'd like to kick the bottom side of the person/people who put that hair on Jasper. He was downright ugly, especially after the first movies handsomeness.

Biggest lough: "Guy's such a marshmallow". I knew it will come as i read it in the book (in another bout of girly insanity) but it still kicked.

Most annoying: Bella had the same face thorough the movie. On her own birthday while talking with Edward, when being depressed, even after getting Edward back. That's at least three different stages, three very different situations, and in the book, she was different. Ok, maybe it's hard to act it out, but wish they could.

Best change compared to the books: Charlie. Maybe being the most mature actor among so many youngsters does the trick.

Overall, not bad, for me this book was the weakest among the four, so i guess they couldn't do much with the movie either. Looking forward for Eclipse and the big fight :)

Múlt hét - Last week 2. - London

Aaand on sunday (november 15) i went to London to meet a friend, and as we met at Victoria station at 10.50, we were just in time for the Changing of the Guard, wich starts at 11.30. At first we didn't see anything, but as time passed and we hold our ground and people left, we got a pretty good view. They were wearing they winter mantels again (last year we went london at january...) so no red coats again. But it was bice to watch.
After that we ate at the London Eye, and walked along the eastern bank until the path run out, then crossed to the west bank through the London Bridge.
I was surprised about the number of churches we saw, both small ones

and a really big one (i think it's Saint Paul's, i wish i've been in a better mood and had taken a closer look)

up to the Tower, and then i came home from Fenchurch street. I got a terrible hadache, as always when visit a real big city at daytime, i just cant stand the crowd and noise. But i was at home at 6 o'clock, and it was a nice day, and a nice week, overall :)

Múlt hét - Last week 1 - Poppy day and Christmas opening

(Ez most hosszú lesz :) ) (Loong post :) )

It was so busy (erm... at least for my standards) that i couldn't pull my thoughts together.

First, we had Poppy day, i mean Armstice day or Remembrance day, on the 11th of November. At 11 o'clock the whole factory stopped for two minutes. I don't remember if we observed it in the recent years, but maybe just i was away, i usually visit home in november.
So we just had the machine broken and i asked the setter to help, when he said with an oddly solemn face, in a low voice, that we will have to wait. I asked, and he explained - i already knew about this day, i saw it on the high street a few years back when it was on a saturday, and also read about it. The natives know about it too, but we foreigners were quite unaware of it, so i had to explain it about 5 times...
After we went back to work, we had a conversation whit the setter, i asked a few things, told him a few things that were different at home in Hungary and we agreed about the stupidity of the loss of so many lives even today. I mean all the time.
I was relived too, when he said that this is for both sides, for all sides to be exact, so not just the heroic british dead, but for anyone, anywhere. I told him that this was always a strange thing for me, being here and knowing that my country was on the other side, but this will not bother me anymore.



After this, on saturday (the 14th), i went shopping, and saw a small but fabulous parade on the High street. Literally fabulous. At first i thought it was a belated Poppy-day parade because of the brass band leading the procession.

There were all kind of cartoon and fairy tale figures following (and i had a very stupid angle to make pictures),some imperial stormtroopers (very impressively patrolling),a big and funny deer,

Santa's Grotto with real deers!

... small deers too :)
Cinderella's carriage drawn by two big and beautiful horses, the big bodied type whit the hippie legs - they were very agitated by all the drumming and music and crowds, the coachman could barely hold them back - but soooo beautiful... i just llllove these kind of horses :)

and a few more drummers


Actually the White Witch was there too with Ginarrbik but i messed up that pic.
They where advertising mostly, i think, one of the big shopping centres and at least two stage plays (Cinderella and Narnia) but it had a very "Official Start of the Christmas Season" - feeling for me :)
Especially as in the same week, all the blue-and-silver decorations wnt up - blue and silver, as the city's colours are blue and white. I still prefer the grees-red-gold combination, but this year the decor is pretty, unlike last year when it was simply colt and ugly. We have sparkles now, and it helps a lot :)
Plus the german christmas market came back again with the little wooden shops, oversized pans whit every kind of sausage, and half a dosen different kind of sweets booths. And of course the glühwein stand, whom sell Jägermeister as well. All set for Christmas :)

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.

Olvasás - Reading

Elég gyorsan olvasok már angolul, szinte észre se veszem hogy lassab vagyok mint magyarul, csak amikor vissza kell mennem és újra elolvasni egy mondatot a nyelvtan miatt.

I'm on a level now in reading english language texts that i can't feel that i'd be slower then while reading hungarian texts except when i have to go back and reread something because of the grammar.

Aminek az a következménye, hogy amikor magyar könyv kerül a kezembe, akkor egyszerűen túl gyorsan olvasok, és átrepülök a betűk fölött, anélkül hogy fölfognám, mit is látok. Koncentrálnom kell, hogy ne csak beazonosítsam a betűket és össszerakjam a szavakat, hanem meg is értsem az értelmüket. Mintha felolvasnék magamban, így viszont kong egy kicsit, nem szeretem a felolvasást, arról tudom, hogy most olvasok, és nem tudok belemerülni a cselekménybe.

The consequence is that when i read a text in hungarian i'm way too fast. I read the letters too quickly without comprehending the meaning. I have to concetrate to not just getting the letters and putting the words together but also getting the meaning. Practically i have to read out for myself in silence, but it makes things a bit hollow, i don't like reading out, it makes me too consius about reading a book and can't immerse in the plot.

Az élet újabb nagy problémája.

Another big problem in life.

:)
