I'm Looking Forward to the Future, But My Eyesight is Going Bad

Life is getting back into groove once more, attending classes, working on projects and some part time work on the side keeps me quite busy. But the weekends are always fun.
With bands playing and friends to revel in it all, there was not a dull moment had last weekend and with a birthday party next weekend. (instead of worshipping the Myran bishop)
I have still got a couple of pages left to read in Dark Carnival, but it has certainly reached its visceral peak, which makes reading Ludmila's Broken English such a relief in comparison. Then again, with my reading being interrupted regularly with bouts of Guild Wars and other gaming, it might just diffuse the atmosphere enough to keep me from fully enjoying everything I read. But seeing as I have already read the aforementioned ones, it really did not detract from the reading experience for me.

Rest assured that I will try to read with less interruptions with the next couple of books. (which should not be that hard with Pullman and King being main contenders for the next title on my list)

I'll Show You Something, That'll Make You Change Your Mind

It has been way too long since my last post.
Day and night have switched places many times over and the paradigm has shifted.
We once more entered the Carnaval song contest, assuming we could do whatever we wanted, seeing as we would stand a snowball's chance in hell to get in the top five this year with a non standard 'chanson'. Greater still was our surprise when we found out at the end of the evening that we had wound up in fourth place. High enough to once again hit the studio and record the song for prosperity.
Rehearsal and studies have gotten in the way of reading, I have been catching up with some Pratchett, which is nice but not really noteworthy and James Moore, but that review will have to wait until I finish the third novel of the trilogy, which should not take me more than two weeks at the most.
