The Symmetry Scandal

From the 10th till the 20th I had my summer vacation and I had very nice company I must say ^^
Friend of mine, Aske, was coming over from Denmark to visit me for 10 days, the start was a bit crappy since there was something wrong with the flight and he had to catch the flight at 7 in the morning the next day, leaving him to "sleep" at the airport so instead I had a friend of mine come over to watch some One Tree Hill, some awesome series wich I'm totally addicted to. next morning (I slept for 10 mins ><) I went to pick him up from the airport and we both looked like ghosts, we said hi, went to my place and went to bed, but not being able to sleep :P
We did kiss tho *blush*

The next day I went to the concert of Leonard Cohen, already wrote about that in my last post, was so amazing. In october he plays in Berlin and I'm going there with my mum, making a weekend out of it. He also announced a new concert in Rotterdam in november, checking if i can go there.. aswell xD (I'm not a groupie.. honest!!) Oh and I want to try and get to the Play Concert wich is in Copenhagen, but it would be SO cool to see that live..

Anyway, I'm drifting off a bit, wanted to tell about my awesome vacation in Amsterdam! (playing tourist, whoohoo!) On sunday we went to visit the centre of Amsterdam, seeing the canals, going into little streets, ate some ice cream at Tofani's and went to Kung Fu Panda (lovely movie!!) It was fun to walk in Amsterdam like this, seeing places and things you would normally not notice because it's all "normal" to me, living here.
We went to the Bijlmer and the Amsterdam Arena, home of Ajax! we biked all the way to Oudekerk aan de Amstel, wich was very nice, except that I burned and the wind wasn't nice to us on our way back >< We had BBQ on my balcony, wich was quite fun, never did that before. (ofc I over ate xD)
Thursday Ruud and Bart came over and we walked a bit in the centre again, trying to find a gift for Ruud, since it was his birthday the next day. (seriously, can't you take a hint..?!) We got him this awesome Warcraft book, very nice, very jealous... :P
Next day we went to Artis, the zoo, was really fun, didn't go there for a long time and was good to see it all again. In the evening we got a surprise visit from my Soesie, Renée, with wine!! We drank a bit to much (since 2 bottles with 3 people wasn't enough we HAD to buy more, you understand that, right? :P) and played some Munchkin.
The rest of the week the weather was quite bad, so we just stayed in and played some Serious Sam campaign (almost finished it!) and I kicked his ass in Halo 3 <3

Had a really great vacation without even traveling somewhere AND I met this great guy, yay for me :P

WOW just.. wow...
They guy is 73 and he just put the most amazing show up ever.
He really loves what he does and you see and hear that, He sang for 3 hours, 10 min break and it was just amazing.. can't tell anything more, looking now for a show in Germany, hoping they have tickets, wanna go more.. mooore MOOOREEE.... :D

Leonard Cohen - I'm your man (Live world tour 2008)

Next saturday I will go to the Leonard Cohen concert @ Westerpark Amsterdam. It's not exactly music someone of my age would listen to, I got in contact with it through funerals.. I love his music, It has meaning and for me it even has added meaning.

My mum and me decided to go since it is something we share and I felt really great at going, just recently there has been some shit going on and I'm a bit.. emotional. Point is, when I am, I can't really listen to his music since all the added thoughts come up and I can't keep it dry.
I'm really looking forward to this, but at the same time I'm scared.. YAY ><

Leonard Cohen - Waiting for the Miracle (Extended version)

Ok, help me decide!!
Ruud and me are gonna order some shirts a J!nx and I can't decide.. duh -.-
I want to buy 2 shirts. already made my mind up about one, since it is SO cool :P
I fight like a girl.

Then there are a "few" I'm still doubting about. wich one is best for me? :D
- I love my gamer (Don't have one yet, but I'll find one!)
- I love my geek (same as above ;))
- Talk nerdy to me (need I say more?)
- RUN AWAY!!!
- Priest (Urgi! <3)
- Level ?? Humanoid

As you can see I seriously need your help ;)

EDIT: narrowed it down :D ./proud
- I love my gamer
- RUN AWAY!!!

Ok here is some more music ^^
This is Utada Hikaru, her song Simple and Clean was used for Kingdom Hearts (Japanese version is called Hikari) and it's simply amazing. Last night I found this live version wich gave me chills.



And as it happens with youtube, you check the related stuff as well :P
I found her version of Greenday's Boulevard of Broken Dreams, man.. she has got this awesome voice, she can make everything work.



Isn't she cute with the talking in front? <3

Halo.. Master Chief.. his voice...
I know not a lot of girls play this game but I happen to like it and yes.. Master Chief does have a rather.. yummy voice :P
I was strolling around on IMDB and came to halo, got curious who did the voice of Master Chief (I know, I know, a bit late after 3 games, no?).
The guy is called Steve Downes and he looks like this.

Can I go sob in the corner now? ><
