This so made my day

Sigh…

This music video so made my day today. It’s a cover of Joy Divison’s Ceremony by Radiohead.

Like they say at the end of video: “and now what?!”.

Work I guess :)

ROFL

Angels in America

Today I went with a friend to the play “Angels in America”.
Toneelgroep Amsterdam was the company playing the piece. 5,5 hours with only 1 break of 25 minutes. Wow!

The play is about the gayscene in the mid eighties in New York where AIDS was at his full force. Alongside the AIDS storyline, there are the political issues and the religious groups (jews, mormons, catholics) which keep the story-lines going.
Practically all the music played was from David Bowie.
It was awesome. Really really great. The story was great, the acting was excellent.
Searching the torrent sites now for the miniseries.

Eek… Deleting my non-existing social life?!

I decided to delete some social-networking accounts. Among those is my hyves account. Hyves is very similar to facebook, with a large NL user base.

When you finally find out how to delete your hyves account, they sent a email saying (todo is translate to English):

Er moet een vergissing in het spel zijn, want als we niet beter wisten zouden we denken dat je je account permanent wilt verwijderen. Hiermee verwijder je ook al je foto’s, video’s, vrienden en deel je je sociale leven een klap toe die niet zelden fataal blijkt… Vaak hebben mensen ook even nodig om hun draai te vinden op Hyves. Maar goed. Haal diep adem, tel tot 10 en klik op de link om je verwijdering definitief te maken. Gebruik je Hotmail of werkt de link niet? Copy-paste dan de link tekst naar je browser.

roughly translated:

There must be something wrong, because if we didn’t know better, we would think you want to delete your account permanently. With doing this, you would delete all your photo’s, video’s, friends and give your social life a blow of which it rarely recovers. Very often people need some time to get used to Hyves. but anyway. Take a deep breath, count to ten and click the provided link to delete your account. Are you using hotmail or does the provided link doesn’t work? Then copy’n'paste the link to your browser.

Eeek. The sad thing…They convinced me…sort of…

Sweden

Last week I found myself throwing myself from a mountain side in Sweden on skies.
It was my first real winter-sport holiday and it was in one word: Awesome.

I love Sweden. Great countryside, great people. It’s empty (1 person / square kilometer in the region north of our place!) and they like eat a lot :)

2 Downsides…WTF with a maximum speed of 90 kmh at 90% of the roads! and WTF with selling 3.5% beer and making the real beer bloody expensive.
Luckily the blonde-blue-eyed girls do make up for that.
