Jace came to visit in Utrecht and managed to make Utrecht Lunetten railway station look almost beautiful.

Adidas project for school [Sep. 22nd, 2006|11:29 am]
Adidas, the brand of all brands. Just the name takes me back to my childhood, back to the 70s. That name brings up memories of brave sportsmen, in a world that through my young eyes was wondrous, heroic and about as far removed from my own as the moon. Read more... )

Tha Surf [Mar. 30th, 2006|10:49 pm]
[how does it feel |'appy]

What a fun night, what a fun gig. I'd been looking forward to this Nada Surf concert ever since I discovered how good their latest album is, and when it took me a while to get into it I was afraid I had expected too much. But then we were all asked to do this little side-step big band dance, and it was MAGIC. Just imagine spending a whole song in a group all moving in the same motion, and a large part of the audience took part and all! Wonderful, and the fun just continued from there. I'm still not sure about a lot of the older songs, but with every song from 'The Weight is a Gift' I was thinking to myself that that must be my favourite one, and then another one came along, and that seemed even better.
Favourite gig of the year, so far.

top 10 of 2005 [Dec. 29th, 2005|12:42 pm]
[what does it sound like |REO Speedwagon was on in the supermarket and in my head now]

I don't like the end of the year, with all the looking back and stuff. The only thing I like is making my top 10 lists of cds and concerts, because it gives me a chance to revisit records I played a lot, or not enough, or not much at all and for a reason. Compiling the top 10 is very much a matter of feeling, which is how I rate music anyway.

So these are the concerts that evoked most feeling in the past year. )

And these the CDs that made most impact. )

[what does it sound like |Neil Diamond (I know)]

[info]indierockaholic tagged me for this:
"Name 5 of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick 5 people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used. Tag 5 people on your list."

sorry to be a spoilsport, but I'm...
1. looking out of the window, watching the sky and trees out there
2. picking a cd to play in the morning, to kick-start me into the day
3. having a bowl of cereal before going to bed
4. wearing floppy socks in the house
5. kissing my husband goodbye without waking him, before leaving for work
...and don't have time for this stuff

There should me more music and more husband in this, but socks are more simple
All of these delights are indoors, if you'd asked me in Summer this list would have been different

[how does it feel |happy]

Yesterday I vacuumed my notebook.
Yes, you read it, yesterday I attacked my notebook with our vacuum cleaner, and with very satisfactory results.

For several months now, my computer has been having more and more problems with overheating, until recently it would shut down several times a day. Don't know why it took me so long to google for help, but I finally did, and out of a list of possible solutions (most involving opening up the notebook and taking out parts), vacuuming sounded the least scary. And it worked: dust came flying out of the darned thing, the fans were whizzing like mad, and the result is that just now I burned a back-up disc with the fans just going up to a modest whisper, in one go.

Oh, how I love the Internet and message boards.

what made me smile today [Jul. 30th, 2005|09:56 pm]
so I'm sitting at the table with my notebook, my husband is sitting outside, and a newly-burned cd is playing (m ward, quite good). Stefan comes in because he hears a sort-of pssst sound. I hear nothing. He goes outside again, and hears it again. I still hear nothing, and I'm pretty sure it's not the cd. Then it happens again, and I go outside to hear what he hears. Nothing. I go inside again, and voilà, he hears it again. He comes in, and waits what happens when I go back to computering. Then he shouts: yes, that's it... right after I sniffed.
Guess I have to blow my nose a bit more.
