Old school

yummy..... i had a perfect dinner with some friends tonight. one of them learned cook and we met at his place today to chill out and focus on the really important things in life. he prepared a 5 course meal and we spent about four hours eating or so. too bad that i was so tired from the night before (went to a theme party - old school - and got a little drunk and spent the night there on a mattress in a strange apartment, trying to get some sleep). anyway, this is what the 5 course menu looked like:
1. rocket salad with hot mini tomatoes and mozzarella wrapped in bacon plus bread
2. tomatoes filled with rice and mushrooms plus onions
3. pork meat with fowl meat, carrot and spinach inside, with potato pancakes, vegetables and peppercorn sauce
4. vanilla ice cream and banana, with chocolate sauce, chocolate granules and a praline
5. cheese platter with grapes and bread
hmmm, i could have gone on and on with eating...
another good thing in life: music. i'm into funk, hip hop and jazz right now. i wish i could play saxophone again in a band or something. this is so much fun and i still hope i'll find some people someday..

PS. in case you haven't discover the roots yet... i'm not telling anything new with this: really good stuff!

State of affairs

two more weeks and my classes are over. right now i have to finish something for a presentation and have to study for two exams.
besides, i taught my first two lessons with a fellow student in a fifth grade, which was fun and went ok for most parts. we had to prepare and organize and write down A LOT before though.
in september i'll start with the first part of my school internship (6 weeks.. or 8?). so much for my holidays... i only have august to write my term papers. uni sucks.
i've started collecting yoko tsuno comics, which i used to read when i was younger and which fascinated me somehow.. so now i'm always happy when i'm able to purchase one of the volumes for a good price and when it finally arrives here so i can read it.
my one flatmate (the one i've been living with for a long time) will be moving out in february, going to new zealand. she's all excited. me, too... about a new flatmate.
next topic.... since there's not really a new man in my life, i guess i briefly write something about the old one. he's coming to practice again once a week and lately we went for a beer together and finally talked things out. it helped a little but it's still an annoying and strange situation to see him, because he's acting weird and putting himself in the role of an outsider. then, he still isn't able to do something with me alone.
a good friend from uni is going to england in september. another thing i don't want to think about, because i'm gonna miss doing things with him and he's one of the last people from uni that i sometimes meet. but i plan to visit him in england for some days. hopefully i can afford it. anyone coming with me?

Walk on the wild side

i had a really cool weekend.. five guys, another woman and I had big plans... on friday afternoon we packed our tents and bags and drove off to an outdoor volleyball tournament. it took us about 4 hours to get there because of the traffic, which was twice as long as we thought. the games were on saturday and sunday. there were over 80 teams who were playing, and in the end we came in 15th, which was amazing. we drank at friday night and we drank more at saturday night and danced on the tables till 3.30. at one point i found myself with a friend on the stage of the band that was playing there, bawling into the microphone (unfortunately it exists a video evidence of that embarrassing moment). alcohol is my excuse! i just had fun with camping and all the people and playing volleyball. what more could you want?
last night at v. practice i had to bear with my ex, who showed up too. again and still an asshole deluxe to me and treating me as if i had never been in his life. i'm glad that i know now that there are other people who are really ok and that i have a friend who's visiting me tomorrow and there's another old friend i'm gonna meet this week... i just remembered what tom hanks says in the movie 'cast away', when he's back home in memphis - without the woman he loves and feeling like a stranger:
"... and i know what i have to do now. i gotta keep breathing.. because tomorrow the sun will rise.. and who knows what the tide could bring?"
