Slow Weekend

This weekend is kind of slow. I've been translating all day today, so now it's really time to put things down and have a break. This brochure about the life of the most famous buddhist masters is not easy to translate. It's full of philosophical texts, like stages of realizations on the path and such, so sometimes I need to dig deep into the dictionaries. Quite a professional text from a philosophical point of view, so a professional lector will definitely be needed to finalize this work. I hope to get done with the whole thing by Sunday evening - that would be good.
I am longing for starting some long-time promised graphic work for Kutaki but I should better finish this one before starting something new. Just like in life. There are things that you must finish before starting with new ones - otherwise you just stir the sh*t and create a big mess for yourself.

I also worked a bit on the link site - it looks quite cool (at least in my opinion) with all the nearly 400 categorized links I collected so far. I am just waiting for the provider to activate the page and then I announce it on Kutaki. I hope the guys will find it useful.

While browsing among the pages I came through this site of my favorite Hungarian ensemble, called NOX. They play traditional Hungarian folk music in a modern style. Great lyrics, traditional Hun tunes with Hungarian instruments, and modern style Hungarian dance choreography. I love them. If you wanna check them out, go to the English pages and either visit the "Download" section for videclips, or go to "Albums" to have some foretaste of what they're up to.
NOX by the way is originally the name of a goddess, the Goddess of Night or Shadow. Can't recall it now, which one, I've just recently read it in a book.

Well, time to shut down this good old machine and get ready for tomorrow's final round of translation.
