Talking about seasons, it does not seem that there will be a classical winter for this Christmas. It seems there is not much snow in Europe, and people go skiing and end up hiking in the mountains :) As for Holland, check out the postcard Dan bought when visiting Amsterdam.. (sorry for the quality)...
Have a cozy Christmas with the beloved ones and a terrific New Year 2007!!
In a search for creative energy, I use YouTube. You have probably noticed I have been posting a lot in the past days. Quite inspiring one is over here - Paula sent this link for me. And I tell you, when you read that this whole video is done only by using Canon DSLR still camera, I do find it inspiring...
I love Franz Ferdinand!! OK I might not be the original one, but this is one of the bands that are tested by time on me, and I definitely can say that their records are something that I always keep returning to. I saw them live in Luxembourg and I would not mind seeing them live again! And I know that there are some people who will definitely join me (Makis, keep me posted!) The guitars, the lyrics, the ATTITUDE... I love it. At the moment you can basically hear me singing this:
Walk Away
I swapped my innocence for pride Crushed the end within my stride Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh And I am cold, yes, I'm cold But not as cold as you are I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away I love the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey hey
Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away? No buildings will fall down Won't you walk away No quake will split the ground Won't you walk away The sun won't swallow the sky Won't you walk away? Statues will not cry
Don't you walk away X Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Hey
mmmmm
I cannot turn to see those eyes As apologies may rise I must be strong and stay an unbeliver X And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh And I'm not cold, I am old At least as old as you are La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la And as you walk away Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away My headstone crumbles down As you walk away The Hollywood winds will howl As you walk away The Kremlin's falling As you walk away Radio Four is static
As you walk away Oh, as you walk away Oh, as you walk away Oh, as you walk away Hey
The stab of stiletto On a silent night Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs Churchill claps Mao Tse Tung on the back
. Was a bit sick last week, I think there has been a wave of people catching cold these days, as weather has been more terrible than ever. . Had a super-extra-funny dinner with diemen ppl. . Had some of those nice conversations with Rasa, Venky and a few of my colleagues . Had Ginnie`s "tot ziens" activities, like surprise dinner with all current and ex-housemates, which was very difficult to make it a surprise, compiling presents and frustrations related to that, a lunch with the Amsterdam crowd. I am sure Gina will remember this WE for long. . Had an AIESEC Sinterklaas party last night, featuring a dice game for sharing presents, a company of my favourite Serbians (Zorana and bORIS), catching up with aiesec`ers (they did a great job organizing all this!) and other interns. Then going to Meander, which happened to be not as crappy place to be as it seemed on the first day!
Today I am just chilling, curing my sore throat and trying to study. Also creating an action plan for figuring out the next steps after my internship is over in Feb.
