Thirteen Revelations of Evolution

I'm currently reading part 5 of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. It's a good book, it's called Memnoch the Devil. Highly recommendable. Of course I recommend to read all the books prior to this one, but only so all references could be understood. As such, reading this book requires no knowledge of the books before. Anyway, it's a good read. Interesting points-of-view.

My reading hobby has taken me to read the Vampire Chronicles exclusively. As said, I'm now in part 5 (and almost done), and I've read all the previous parts too: Interview with the Vampire, Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned, The Tale of the Body Thief. Next it'll be Vampire Armand. Albeit they are popular books among young, they are gothic and about vampires, they are still very, very good. I doubted them myself at first, but so far they haven't let me down.

The reason I started reading these was actually Bram Stocker's Dracula. While reading the book, I remembered once seeing a vampire-movie that I liked. That of course was the Interview with the Vampire. I also had a small recollection that it was based on a book. And I liked the characters of the first book so much that I'm still reading about them. Simple as that.

But enough about books. Read some if you want, don't if you don't want. Simple.

Christmas was and is no more. I'm back at office for the day to do the daily necessities and work on a few projects that need to be finished. Because they're truly hyper ultra important.

Christmas was quite nice even without the atmosphere we have in Finland. I got plenty of presents from back home and a nice watch from Chi. I had time to meet friends of Chi, and friends of my own. It's been really nice to have more free time since lately I've been doing a bit more work than I'd like. Got to do some cooking (though not Finnish Christmas-foods) and light some candles. Hah.

Also made a phone call home after such a long time since the last time. Now I even bought myself a nice microphone headset so I can call more often. My excuse so far has been my crappy laptop microphone that doesn't really work well for internet calls, and that I don't really want to make such calls from office. Well, the time of excuses are over.

Ah well, so life goes on. Now we wait for the changing of the year. It'll be 2008 soon, and I'll be 26 years old. Damn.

More to come later.
