I didnt go to Graspop this year
but I did get to see some Great music yesterday!
Earth Crisis – Terror – Sworn Enemy – Walls Of Jericho – No Turning Back – Morda
We didnt see Morda (again)
NTB & Sworn Enemy were OK
Walls of Jericho & Terror were Insane!!!
Earth Crisis was utterly dissapointing (and only partly because their “Vegan Straight Edge” message really doesnt mean much to me..)
Im thinking about Dour, just to see Jericho & Terror again!! But I think I d rather see them in a smaller concert instead of a festival..

“The Maine Coon is one of the largest breeds of domestic cat, known for its intelligence and playfulness as well as its distinctive physical appearance.”
And we just bought a lil one. He ll stay with his parents for another 8 weeks, but then he s coming to live with us – Cute, no?

“Maine Coons are very large and energetic cats, sometimes weighing up to around 11-12 kilograms (25 pounds); the average weight is 6 to 9 kilograms (13-20 pounds) for adult males and less (7-11 pounds) for females.”

“Male Maine Coons may grow to a length in excess of 1 meter (40 inches); the longest cat on record is a Maine Coon 121cm (49 inches) in length.”

So yeah, He’ll grow up to be one large cat.. Given time .. “Maine Coons develop slowly, and don’t achieve their full size until they are three to five years old.”
cute!
(Say hi at his current home if ya want)

the memories of long, to root us into our every day lives. Sometimes one of these memories becomes obsolete, passé. Dependent on what memory & the way it became, this can fill us with an incredible sadness.. droefnis.. until we settle in the memory and give that litle root up to the modern times. Its not that we need it, its that we .. take solace in the fact that its there!
Litle things

Poker set!

200 chips (4 colors, unlike the picture), 2 decks, 5 dice (WHY??) & 1 dealer thingy
No more that €12.99 (Update: I got myself a second set.. for those games where you just need the extra chips
)
I immediately bought one for Kaishi too
& Im considering a second one, just to have 400 chips (for those heavy games
)
We pokered (texas hold ‘em) tonight & it was Swell! Funky night, we really hit That Jive!

And the newest version has again the improvements that I so craved.. Amazing software, everyone should use this!
Why? Have a lot of music? Want to easily manage & hear them? Convert them to MP3 & install the software. Then browse to your ampache server with your preferred client & enjoy all the luxuries you ever wanted in a jukebox
Its Amazing!
I have some major news since this morning.. but I just dont have the time right now for an extensive blog post.. maybe later tonight..

Hit that Jive, Jack
damn, I just discovered this. I steered away from it before, but after being in a curious mood today & discovering Ampache has a plugin to it, I’m trying it & .. damn
My fresh last.fm page.. Probably wont be all that interesting the first few weeks.. Im curious if it ll enhance my Ampache experience!!
I just typed “Louis Armstrong” in the artist box & now I’m hearing a lot of nice jazz, some of which I didnt know & do like.. Funk!
Privacy is changing.. people WANT to share certain things with the world.. altough some of them are still shy in regard to real life aquaintances about it.

the times they are a changin’
SO whats going on?
Well.. for starters, I quit my job at the hut. I need some time to sort things out & wont need the hut anymore after the next change
I ‘m getting hired by my internship company
Hell Yeah
And we re moving! We re moving to a much nicer apartment in Gent! Huge living room, bedroom, kitchen, toilet, bathroom and a yard
yaay!
The ascension.. on to the next part, done with what has passed – closure
& all that jazz
Oh & I’m probably going to graspop next weekend & I’m seriously considering Blue Note Festival!
& for the record.. I LOATHE the idea of le tour de france passing trough gent. ARRIVING in gent! BARELY A STREET FROM WHERE I LIVE!!!!!! Loathesome Frackers! I LIVE inside the “no public transportation” area.
Its kinda weird that I ‘ll be living the “Gentse Feesten” on a whole different scale this year. Last year, I was working constantly @ the hut & when I wasnt I was drinking & partying with the other hut peeps. I’ll still try to do some of that partying tough
Mohito here we come
.. changes
for the good!
