VoodooFest

Its been way too long, but I must say circumstances have changed. However, i also remain as much of a lzy person, as i used to be. After missing out on RATM last year, this year i made it to VoodooFest 2008, The Tenth Ritual, to watch Mars Volta and Nine Inch Nails. Although, Nine Inch Nails (NIN) was the act i was eagerly waiting for, Mars Volta nonetheless were a completely superb act in themselves. Their entire 1 and a half hour set seemed like a single song, which was cool considering they play one of the coolest music. The main highlight was NIN, no doubt, the two hour set with the magnifique stage show was just superb and left me speechless, hard of hearing, aching body, loss of voice, and nearly a broken glasses. All in all it was just what i thought it would be...Cool. Didnt take a camera, because i knew i would be enjoying way too much to take photographs. But did manage to take some shots from my cell while catching breaths at times. My cells' camera is probably the worst,,so the pics are not so good even though i was quite near.

Hurt....deep....

"...Everyone I know
Goes away in the end..."

"Wie könnte ich wurden Freunde mit ihm"

Out of Sight, Out of Mind...

"...How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;
Labour and rest, that equal periods keep;
"Obedient slumbers that can wake and weep;"
Desires compos'd, affections ever ev'n,
Tears that delight, and sighs that waft to Heav'n.
Grace shines around her with serenest beams,
And whisp'ring angels prompt her golden dreams.
For her th' unfading rose of Eden blooms,
And wings of seraphs shed divine perfumes,
For her the Spouse prepares the bridal ring,
For her white virgins hymeneals sing,
To sounds of heav'nly harps she dies away,
And melts in visions of eternal day."

- Eloisa to Abelard, Alexander Pope

Two semester are almost ever, and it seems the remaining are going to move through even faster. There's nothing much happening around, still have to resort to watching movies (if i have some free time), so as my 'official hiatus' from blogging for summer fun ;) is around the corner here is a trailer for an upcoming movie called FRONTIER(S) to get the buzz around.

I am not in love

First of all i hope Mr.naked nepali doesn't mind me being 'inspired' by his posts. I am at a loss of words it seems. I think its because all the assignemts at school have taken up most of my words. So, instead i treat you all to a video. Stumbled upon this song by Fiona Apple some days ago and remembered how much i think she rocks. She just sounds so good.
