Akita inu


Today I would like to write about my dog called Maci. He is a Japanese dog, its type is called akita inu. I really like him as he is quite playful and he is so cute.

The akitas were samurai dogs, and nowadays they are the symbols of health and welfare in Japan. They were cultivated for hunting black bears, wild-hogs and deers. The akitas tend to be vehement, but they can be teached easily. They are really intelligent, but it can happen that they are stubborn. They are famous for their clinging adherence and faithfulness.

Maci is a really nice dog. He likes lying in the shadows and sleeping next to the kitchen door, where he can watch us. (You, know we have a back door at the kitchen from glass) His favourite food is sandwich with salami and every time he hears that we clatter a pouch he jumps to the door and wants to have some food. He is a master in begging for food what's more, he has three phases in begging. The first phase is when he watches us at the kitchen door and waves his tail, in the second phase he sits down and waves his tail, in the third phase he lies down.

At the weekend my brother made a cake in the microwave oven. (I saw the recipe on the Internet.) But he made it without cocoa so it tasted horrible. (I have to mention that I made it with cocoa and it was delicious!!!!) Because of this fact my brother didn't want to eat it so he gave it to Maci, who didn't complain about it. Thank you Maci for being our domestic hoover!

Here are some pictures of Maci:

Hungarian Master of Horror


Yes, this is true there is a Hungarian author who can write real masterpieces. He is called Gyula Böszörményi.

His first famous book was Gergő és az álomfogók and other brilliant masterworks followed it. Some of them are part of the Gergő series and there are two other series as well: the Zsófi and the Nightmare books series. The Zsófi books are about the adventures of Gergő's younger sister.
These two series involve the creatures and motives that appear in the "ancient" Hungarian legends (from those times when our ancestors were travelling on the steppes of Europe).

But I don't want to speak about these books. The one I am really interested in is the book 9...8...7... which is part of the Nightmare books and it is about demons. Imagine a Budapest where demons live in every human being forcing them to drink a lot of alcohol, to go to plazas and buy a large amount of clothes, to go to the gym and do a lot of excercise day after day... /Hey, this the reason for the large number of hard drinkers and drug addicts./

So here lives Lilith, a girl who is not possessed by any demon. She joins the secret group of the gruftis who wear black clothes and fight against demons. Lilith has to face the most horrifying things of her world. Unfortunately, a new demon leader arrives who wants the people's souls for him and does not want to share with others. Is Lilith brave enough to oppose him and defeat him or is she too weak for this? You'll find it out in the following two novels. The second volume's title is 6...5...4... but the third book has not been published yet.

I really like 9...8...7... because it makes a mirror about our life and it wants to show an alternative explanation about the reasons of the large amount of addicted, anorexic people and so on. I think this story can be true if we look at our world in a different point of view. You can see that if you want to give up smoking or stop taking drugs than you have to face many difficulties -fighting against your inner demon- and in many cases you need another person's help.

That's for today.

Good bye!
