Figures.. After a week of complete lack of sleep, the first occasion I have time to sleep again, I can’t sleep! My mind is just racing with all kind of stuff. I’m so tired!

With the wonderful (but cold) weather today, I couldn’t resist to make a walk in the park. The trees are already coloring a bit, but I think it will become even prettier over the next weeks. Check the pictures!

Aha.. now I found out why people Google for leek massage. There actually is a town called Leek in Staffordshire, UK, and apparently someone there is in need of a massage.

The only question left is, why do people searching for leek massage end up here?

I guess I just made it worse…

NWA starts direct flights from Amsterdam to Portland (OR). Two years too late! :/

Someone stole my bicycle just now outside Føtex, the bastards!

I wonder if my week-old insurance covers it..

…. I wonder if I could get into trouble for this…

I biked to the museum of modern art Arken today. What a wonderful museum that is! Too bad half of it is closed for rebuilding. But there still was a nice exhibition called Mad Love with pieces from Danish collectors. I think I’ve found myself a new favourite artist in David Shrigley.

Did someone loan me the DVD of Så som i himmelen and the DVD box of Twin Peaks season 1 (danish edition)? I have no idea how I got them…

Ps. I just watched the movie. It’s wonderful!

After being here for half a year now, I already meet 3 people I know randomly on the street on a saturday. That’s more than I would ever meet on a saturday in Amsterdam.

Such a small town!

I went to see Stravinsky’s Sacre de Printemps ballet yesterday in the opera building. My my, the building already looks impressive from the outside but the inside is even better. It just looks like this giant wooden acorn (think Ice Age) inside a steel and glass skin.

The first part of the evening (L’homme de Bois) I found boring, too sweet, old-fashioned, and uninspiring. The second part (the real Sacre) was seriously amazing though; mostly the music (quite dark, contemporary too), but the light/projection design was noteworthy too. The ballet was interesting, but even amateur-me has seen more interesting choreographies.
