My father's birthday was good. We went cycling through green, sunny holland (yes I got burned) and then had dinner in an old waterlinie-fort. Only sad thing was that all those pretty flowers gave Rutger a nasty case of hay fever, so he couldn't enjoy the day much. Then we played Carcassonne until deep in the night :D

Portishead have finally made a new album (Third). The songs are... beautiful post-apocalyptic landscapes made of sounds. That's as close as I can get. I love it. (Now please don't go steal it. You can buy it everywhere and have a pretty box and a booklet and all the songs in highest quality and in the correct order.)
For those who know what I'm talking about - two new songs for Stella: 'Hunter', and 'Machine Gun'.
