Latests events and “To kill a mockingbird”

Lot of stuff has been on my mind lately: finishing my last university courses, doing work for my diploma thesis and side projects, visiting concerts and reading books just took its time.

Nova rock was fabulous, the bands rocked. I was rather astonished that not everyone loved the Pearl Jam gig. Last weeks Metallica concert also was worth every Euro I payed for.. they are just one of the best live bands ever. Between all those gigs some ’smaller’ concerts where watched by me: Beatsteaks, Wolfmother, Tori Amos.. all of them where good, but still the aforementioned sticked better in my mind.

University related stuff is mostly over by now, the only missing oral exam will be taken the day after tomorrow, the workings on my diploma thesis are another story which might be told another time.

My birthday keeps happening on the 7th of July each year, and hopefully will. I was really happy to hear and see some old friends of mine, but missed some. Still I feel somewhat distressed partying in the knowledge that one the same days families are mourning their loss of two year’s ago.

I just finished reading “To kill a mockingbird”. It seems that Hollywood loved the book as the plot was featured in too many films by now, sadly most points raised are still valid. The book gains bonus points for being told from the naiive perspective of an eight years old child, also the goth pseudo-hero was a nice twist.

I’ll have to switch to “Programming language concepts” for my upcoming exam, but might have time to read a couple of pages of Sam Harris’ The End of Faith.
