[Me] Friday night, I had a few There she was, out of the blue Thunderstruck, nailed to the floor I couldn't move, couldn't talk...anymore [Love] Of all these guys it's you she desires Secretly her heart is on fire Waiting for you to ask her to dance Go ahead, make your move...now's your chance [Passion] Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin! [Me] There I was, nervous and shy Struck with awe as I caught her eye I mustered up courage and walked her way Figuring out what to do...what to say [Love] Her heart sings as she sees you come near The music fades, the crowd disappears She weeps in silence as you pass her by And she's wondering why...oh why [Passion] Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin! [Agony] Remember your father, well you're just like him Nothing but violence and fury within Remember your mother, so lonely and sad This will be her fate if you treat her as bad [Fear] You're afraid she might turn you down All your hopes dashed to the ground Nobody loved you, nobody will Why should you even try...but still... [Me] Friday night, I had a few [Wife] There was no need to talk [Me] There she was, out of the blue [Wife] We just started to walk [Me] Hand in hand, we took the floor [Wife] And we danced, and we danced [Me] I could move, I could talk [Wife] ... and we danced [Me] ... even more [Passion] Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin! [Agony] Remember your father, well you're just like him Nothing but violence and fury within Remember your mother, so lonely and sad This will be her fate if you treat her as bad [Passion] Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin!

The lyrics are from the song "Day Eleven: Love" by Ayreon. The image on the right contains parts of "Eve" by Vic Mon.

It turns out that I've lost some points of Karma yesterday. Dommage. What is even worse is that I have noticed just after loosing them and not before or in the meantime. Basically couldn't do anything to prevent it. Interesting, instead, the question if it was the right thing to do or not. From a neutral point of view it probably looked halfway between a justified criminal negligence and recklessness... ...Hey.. I haven't killed anyone eh ?! :D The question will probably remain unanswered tough. The one that has to find an answer sooner or later is "What Now ?". Friendship is a valuable resource. As a side note I point out that the brain of at least one of us plays tricks on his owner :D

Found this wisdom pill somewhere on the net. Iakko has a copy of this attacched to the laboratory wall :D

London is a very large, fast moving, incredibly ordered and very tollerant metropolis. Hundreths of thousands people move in the underground every day. They move in a fast and ordered fashion. The tube brings you to a far away side of London in few minutes. You have to stand on the right of the moving stairs to allow people that come faster to run on the left. Informative messages are constantly repeated by an automated voice. "Please mind the gap between the train and the platform", "Please mind the closing doors", "This is the piccadilly line train to Heathrow, the next station is...", "We have good service on all the London underground lines." The tube is a strange place: you sit or stand very close to a lot of people every day, but everyone is on its own, everyone looks into nowhere. There are almost no direct eye (or brain) contacts. If you look someone for too long time you may often notice signs of sufference. There are clear signs of fear about terroristic attacks. There are almost no trash cans in the underground. This is to avoid someone putting an unseen bomb in there. An automated voice reminds every few minutes to keep any belongings with you to avoid unnecessary alarms. At the King's Cross station we have seen an emergency evacuation test. "Due to a reported emergency this station is being evacuated. Please diligently move to the nearest exit". London people are very formal. They say "please", "excuse me", "sorry", "would you mind if I..." many times a day... more than us. Altough after a while you notice that they are very cold. It's a sort of formal tollerance, maybe developed because they are forced to live so close to each other. The britannic female gene is very beatutiful. Pale skin, blue eyes and naturally blond hair. In the tube you can fall in love several times a day :D Beer is really good, tough the german one probably beats it. The bad thing is that almost every pub closes very early. At midnight everything except the expensive (and rare) clubs is already closed. Before the departure I've thought that I know English. In London I have found out that it isn't exactly true. They speak very fast and with an unexpected accent (hm.. maybe it's better to call it "peculiar sound"): initially it's very difficult to understand them. Talking and expressing yourself is even worse. Things get better in short time tough. I have found out that English is less expressive than other languages (Italian, for instance), they miss many specific words and need to workaround this with longer sentences. Finally.. London is a very nice experience: give it a try. You might want to take a look at the random subset of photos I've put online.

Browse around then.
