At 6 in the morning anything can happen...

After six weeks of missing my laptop because of a hardware fault, I finally have it back! It's a relief not depending on the computer of my parents anymore. Now I just have to buy a netbook to take with me to Peru. I want some flashy color like red, even though I know black or white would be the sensible choice. My desire for fashion battling against the rational part of my brain, doesn't happen every day.

On the train to work I've started reading comic books to brighten up my day. After reading The Loners I realise that The Umbrella Academy really is a pretty good and original comic book. Because The Loners is just hilariously awful and predictable. Next up is some Avengers-stuff.

Two nights ago I worked a nightshift on a local festival because a friend was in need of a partner. Stopping traffic from 1 am to 9 am. Unfortunately there are no cars after 3 am except the Red Cross or the police once in a while. It should have been boring and hard to stay awake but it was actually quite fun. We were dancing, counting steps, sharing gossip, eating chocolate, playing ghost all night long. At one point we started singing the Catholic classics we were taught in elementary school. These are the kind of adventures I want in summer holiday.

A little less fun is recognizing people and saying hi, and then always hearing the same answer: 'yeah, your face is familiar, but where do I know you from again?'. Happened to me three times this week. Two times with people I got to know during Graspop Festival, we sat in the same circle for four days! My poor ego.

And I totally loved Inception with my fave actor, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The lost wife stuff was completely unoriginal, sure, but the rest of the movie was pretty cool. I recommend it!
