Dear Reader... ( Introduction in English )

Kedves Olvasó... ( Bevezető magyar nyelven )

If you would like to be on my friends list, please post a comment here.

Bad excuse for posting, but someone thought up this advertisement-sponsored charity thing and it's got a LiveJournal code, so here goes. More people look at it and register, more whale-hunters get pushed in the ocean money will go to the Hayden Panettiere-sponsored Whaleman Foundation.

So on 08.15.2008. 16:09 GMT+1, we said yes.

( Sneak peek )

Full picture gallery coming next week, stay tuned!

As for now, honeymoon get.

Ooookay. So I thought that with the amount of time passed I would do the kind of thing that I'll let you ask questions and I'll answer those.

Here's some general ideas for topics:
* Our wedding is in one month and two days (international invitations should arrive in a few weeks now)
* I got a nine-to-five job at PAX television
* Still in Budapest for a couple of weeks, leaving for Szombathely on 2nd August to prepare wedding
* ( My suit is ready and I tried it on in June. (No, the colour doesn't resemble anything.) )

Blast away!

I'm not around anymore but still, happy holidays everyone!

There's a trailer for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games which actually looks good (I hope the graphics will match the quality of the trailer's). And the segment with Yoshi and Tails plaing table tennis just looked very cool. That's a good pairing. Sonic and Mario on the other hand, I'm not sure. Sonic just looks odd in 3D, his limbs are just too anorexic for such a sporty kind of animal.

1. This morning my laptop was OK.
2. I went to my course, tried to load it up, said FAN ERROR and turned off. Continued to say that.
3. Came home, called IBM, said I should order new fan. I did, they said they can install it in 10-14 days.
(3.5 Went to Vapiano with Wya to have lunch yum.)
4. Came home, disassembled laptop as per official IBM .pdf. Got dust out of fan and other parts of the laptop. It turned on, fan whirred. OS runs, backed stuff up. More silent than usual though.
5. Ever since the laptop works, fan whirs up on OS start, but then I don't hear the usual whirring. But everything works and the laptop is quite cold!

So now how do I know whether it's safe to use my computer or not? I have important meeting tomorrow at PAX and then on Wednesday so I need to work but I'm afraid to. IBM guys went home at four, so what do I do now?

I never thought that there are really people who are this stupid.
And I never thought people who are this stupid could win third places at a nationwide beauty contest.

Here's a quick runthrough of some of the Wii games I have played so far and whether they are worth buying or not. Some of them I only tested for a few minutes, some of them I have and have played a lot. Please comment on what you want a longer review of.

( Inside: reviews of Kororinpa, Super Monkey Ball, Mercury Meltdown Revolution, Big Brain Academy, Red Steel and Sonic & the Secret Rings )

( Verdict: Mediocre. And it's just not the same without Queen. )

Please someone remind me, did I already write a review of Transformers or did I not?

   As my friends already know, I'm writing both of my MA theses from the new series of Doctor Who, focusing on its format; the genres it visits in different episodes; the social, cultural, psychological and mythological issues it touches upon; and what the new series as a whole is trying to achieve. While I have a general idea of what I want to write about, I need a lot of things to put in my bibliography. I'm now looking for books and articles on the subject of Doctor Who (more of the new series than the old), on themes appearing in Doctor Who (from literary through social to psychological and mythological), and on British science fiction television in general.
   What I would like to ask all of you to help me with in this post is to 1. select the good ones from all the available Doctor Who books; 2. help me get to anything online or offline that is not books but related to the aforementioned topics. I've heard of a horrific amount of about 25 things that I need to quote from in my thesis and I currently have no more than three, so I need to get as many things as possible, in any format available.

( The list of books I've found and have to choose from )

   So that's 12 books I would like all your opinions about, and if you have any more books I have overlooked, please tell me. Also, any and all online and offline articles about the show would help me greatly.

This is a public post because Blueberry was so cute yesterday. In the summer heat he rested in the kitchen for it is nice and cool there. In the first pictures he didn't even seem to notice I was making the pictures like other times. He usually does that's why I took pictures from different distances. Afterwards, he only got up a bit and was just lying there until I took a gazillion pictures of him. Do you think this is CuteOverload material? You can click on the pictures for larger versions and you can also vote on your favourites at the bottom.

I just got a call from the boss at AXN who informed me that I, in fact, did not get the trailer producer job. This didn't really come as a surprise, but strangely, how he put it was a bit like a "it's not your fault, it's my fault" break-up speech. He said that what they wanted to see would have been something different but it's not saying anything about my personal qualities because only one percent of Hungarian film-related people can do what they expect to get from the person fulfilling this job. I reassured the guy that I know I'm not fit for this job, I clearly see that I only could do such a thing if I had years of expertise.
Then came the fun part. I asked him what became of the project I was assigned (creating two trailers for that awful ten year-old Australian crime show). "Well they're working on it," the answer came, which was quite reassuring to hear a month after I was there - so you can't do such a thing under seven hours. What gives.
So I wished them good luck and hung up. I'm okay with the whole thing, I learned what a job interview like this was like, and I also learned I don't want to work for companies like this. I already talked with the recently returned boss of PAX and I'm going back to produce the Myth DVD. It won't pay right away but when it's out, it might mean a lot of income. Until then, I'm now scripting a documentary's tapes for which I'm actually getting money when I'm done, and I like these kinds of jobs.

I'm not kidding.

I've removed a couple of people from my friends list. It's nothing personal, it was getting to crowded, and I'm reducing my list to people I know better. Sorry.

Catch me on TV2 tonight, again in Napló, where I will be talking about how the future is imagined in films like Metropolis, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Minority Report. I will also appear as "The man who knows something about Leonardo da Vinci's inventions". Stay tuned.

Lassan már szokássá válik, de megint leszek a tévében, ma este a TV2-n a Naplóban (19:00) két filmszakos kollegával osztom az észt a Metropolis, a 2001 Űrodüsszeia és a hogyhívják magyarul, ja igen, Különvélemény című filmek kapcsán a huszadik század jövőképéről. Emellett beugrom mint az ember aki Leonardo da Vinci találmányairól beszél.
