wanted: picasso painting dead or alive

this one time at bandcamp, no just kidding, lame joke, this one time, back in the days, pablo was hanging out with some rocker buddy, whose name i don't recall at this moment, but anyways, he was hanging out with one of his rocker buddies, when all of a sudden this kid, carrying a toiletpaperroll, shows up, asking pablo to draw something on it and sign it.

pablo wasn't retarded of course and had seen the kid's parents hanging out in a phonebooth carrying a newspaper with spyholes and so he knew they thought he couldn't say no to a kid with the same name as him, did i mention that? i didn't but that's alright, i'm lying now anyways, cause pablo didn't see the kid's parents, pablo was just a smartie.

so, pablo rips the toiletpaperroll to shreds and takes the pen, i think it was a red pen, yes it was red, so he takes it and starts drawing this figure on the kid's bare back, a map to china, or was it a rhinoceros riding a horse, it probably wasn't, no, it definately was a figure. so he draws a figure on the kid's back and after signing it sends the kid away.

after sending the kid back to where it came from, possibly to his parents with the spyholed newspaper in a phonebooth somewhere down the street, he turns to his rocker buddy friend, whose name i still don't recall, and says: "i wonder if they're cheap enough to never wash their kid again."

can someone please find me this kid?

october 15th..

..i will go and see the knife at the paradiso in amsterdam. i now remember this dream i had a couple of years ago. i was somewhere in the south of france and i found out the knife had played this secret once in a lifetime show in a place i was having a coffee, and i missed it. i was so so angry and sad, even until 18 minutes after waking up. then i realised it was a dream, i guess it took me a while.

just found this video again. it's such a pretty song.

happy hair

i'm getting a haircut tomorrownight with my pal tobias
and i have decided we will look like this afterwards.

the best daystarter

we used to be funny...
then real life happened.

made me feel just great.

donate an egg for icecream

yesterday a friend asked me about donating eggs and it made me think. would i donate my eggs for money? or am i too hippie to do it just for the money? maybe i'm half hippie?

i guess i would do it for someone i know, or for someone that knows someone who needs a donor. but do i want to have 7.000 dollars for it? half hippie joy says 'as long as it covers the expenses, and icecream, it's good enough'.

realistically, in holland it's not allowed to get money for a donation and it's illegal to stay anonymous. and realistically, if i lived somewhere where i could get huge buckets of cash for it, i might say yes anyways. just as long as i get icecream afterwards together with the bucket of cash.

black cloud

i couldn't decide..

.. who my favourite character is on arrested development. some lines of one of my favourites, dr. tobias fünke, who is a never nude:

"michael, you are quite the cupid. you can stick an arrow in my buttocks any time."

"okay, lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. the world's first analrapist."

"Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder?"

i want to go home and watch.

woody i love

one of the good things about moving to amsterdam is that, right when i moved here, the movietheater the movies, started showing woody allen movies. one movie per week for 2 months and it's almost like going to church, i go there every week with my buddy tobias. last night we went to see hannah and her sisters. the dosage of woody's neurotics was excellent in this one. he's so recognizable, even though i don't know if that's a good thing or not, but maybe that's one of the reasons i enjoy his movies so much.

some random woody allen quotes i like:

"That was the most fun I've ever had without laughing."
(after having sex with annie hall, annie hall 1977)

"I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories. The horrible are like, I don't know, terminal cases, you know, and blind people, crippled. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So you should be thankful that you're miserable, because that's very lucky, to be miserable."
(annie hall 1977)

"If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative."

"It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens."

aardbeien en kikkers

to live in your own country and to never be able to speak your own language, although some might doubt my mother tongue, is somewhat frustrating. the only time i speak dutch in amsterdam is when i answer the question "heeft u een bonuskaart?" with "ja!". it does give me a chance to get to know salespeople in stores or ice cream vendors, how smalltalk about the weather in dutch can brighten up my day. so that's why i think i'll write some dutch now, just to make me happy.

wel een beetje raar om zo in het nederlands door te gaan, maar wel oh zo gemakkelijk. lang niks meer geschreven ook, om diverse redenen. de slapste reden zijnde dat ik het zo druk had met vakantie vieren en daarna druk met verhuizen naar amsterdam en beginnen met mijn stage bij strawberryfrog. misschien de meest belangrijke reden was dat ik niet meer zo goed inzag waarom ik een blog had. soms voel je je gewoon wat onbelangrijk, wat interesseert het iemand nou wat ik doe of beleef? en, aaargh ik weet niet waar ik het over moet hebben. je kent het wel.

dus ik heb een nieuw concept bedacht, maar daarover straks meer. voor wie het interesseert, het gaat goed met mij. het was zo fijn om weer naar huis te verhuizen, naar hester op de baan in het oude vertrouwde rotterdam, mijn moeder weer te zien en mijn vriendjes en vriendinnetjes weer dicht bij me in de buurt. 2 maanden niksen. een jaar hard werken en dan 2 maanden niksen is niet zo makkelijk als het lijkt, helaas. ik heb denk ik elke dag wel tegen mezelf moeten zeggen dat het ok is om niks te doen, vakantie is goed, het mag. de laatste week, voordat de stage van start ging was ik er wel aan gewend geraakt. een vlotte ben ik. ahum.

nu ben ik net aan de 3e week werk begonnen en het bevalt super. het is behoorlijk stressen soms met tot in de late uurtjes doorwerken, maar daartegenover zijn er ook momenten dat het lekker rustig is en ik wat bij kan komen. ook fan ben ik van de chippies en de m&m's, lekker lekker.
wonderbaarlijk genoeg bevalt amsterdam me wel. alleen zolang ik in mn eigen hood blijf en niet in de buurt kom van toeristen, alhoewel dat soms wat moeilijk is, gaat het prima. nog weinig last van hartklachten. over hartklachten gesproken, die doet wel een beetje pijn maar niet door toeristen (je kan ze van alles de schuld geven, behalve hartzeer. of misschien zelfs daarvan?). het ziet er naar uit dat ik voorlopig nog wel verliefd blijf, ik ook al wordt het niet volledig beantwoordt. maar het komt goed, ik zie wel wat er gebeuren gaat in de toekomst, ik heb geen haast.

this dutch writing did me great, cake time now.
