?/365: An idea

An idea for an interactive exhibit.

After two stormy days, it is finally becoming nice outside again. I am looking forward to going to Void/Sunyata, a piece for 5 singers and electronics in Rotterdam tonight. Jorn's teacher, Jorrit Taminga worked on the sound for the opera.

This weekend I am tagging along with 1uptoys for a trip to Berlin for the beatbox world championship. The last time I visited Berlin was with my mom and sisters. I'm looking forward to seeing another side of the city this time. It seems like other friends will also be there, so maybe I will meet up with some people while I am there.

4/365: Deflt details

Today was yet another day in my endless May holiday; the second to last. My feat for the day was that I played tennis with my housemates, Tim and Illhame. The weather was brisk but sunny, and we ended up at the Locus Publicus with Sierd and Inga after we finished a series of mini-tournaments. While sitting on the terrace, a for rent sign caught my eye, and eventually my gaze wandered onto a window detail (left).

When you live in a city for a long time, you become blissfully ensconed in everyday life while becoming more and more unaware of the details around the city. I was surprised to see so many stony faces around me where I had never looked before.

Tonight, Gas, Bart and I will practice for the first time in awhile. There is a band contest on Wednesday, and we have to fill 20 minutes...I'm going to try out my new pedals.

3/365: Sunday Morning Room

I didn't have any crazy dreams last night, so I made a sketch of one corner of my room (please excuse my poor perspective :). My plan was to go to Amsterdam today and visit Charity at her new house, eat dim sum and go to a photo gallery, but the weather wasn't cooperating earlier, putting me in a suspended state. Now the sun is out again, mocking my laziness. I hope I can finish Blink today. I bought it for 1E on Koninginnedag (Queen's Day = a giant excuse for unofficial flea markets everywhere), along with several other books, the old BBC version of Chronicles of Narnia (3E!) and Boonanza! (.50E).
