Nice little church.
Yeah, that's the excruciating counterpart of this kind of good moments spent with someone you love. But you'll see eachother again, soon.

There's going to be a new Primus record soon. And I don't know why, but I've got the feeling it'll be better than Green Naugahyde; i hope so, at
least. New record will be out on Septembre 29th.

Hey, Les's birthday!
Here's one for Punky, if he's still around:
http://www.omroepbrabant.nl/?epg/19662712/Brabantsedag+LIVE.aspx
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb0OZenHRlk
1: The quack and his tickle-machine. To understand these people's dedication, the parade lasts 2 hours - the actors on this float were being tickled
under their armpits for 2 hours.
2: Early aviation. Won an award for the little bike-plane behind the main float
3: Puppets
4: Haunted house
5: Amusement park
6: All Soul's Day
7: Gypsy cart
8: Biker's honking parade, (when biker groups have a parade with people with mental disabilities, who are invited to ride along and honk the horn as
much as possible)
Winner of the Press Prize and Audience Award
9: Freak Show
10: Flea circus and its demise due to improved hygiene
11: Charivari, specifically about an 1811 incident in Den Bosch when an adulterous woman was made to ride a donkey
12: Balance between the sweet/unhealthy foods and the health foods.
13: Hot air balloon festivals
14: "Mirror of entertainment" where the audience gets mocked by jesters
15: 19th century barrel organ vs 21st century dance party. You'll notice the barrel organ tune is the same as the dance tune. Also features dresses
made of vinyl, CDs and cassette tapes.
16: Circus Salto Mortale, circus where everything goes wrong: the clown's car crashed in the lion cage, the lions have escaped and the clowns in the
Beetle try to lure it back by calling "here puss...", the bearded lady has her beard trapped in the cart wheel, numerous performers hobble past with
broken limbs and there's even one with a chainsaw juggling incident going horribly wrong... and then there's the human cannonball...

I'm still around. I've just been really busy. You'd think now that I'm back on my own schedule I'd be putting my feet up a little but I've got lots of
shelved projects that I've been getting back to. Hope you two are well.

Nice to see you again Poly!
BF left, he intended to go home today so that was not a surprise... it was annoying that he had a terrible night. He couldn't sleep properly and
eventually went down to drink water and read Donald Ducks until he could fall asleep.

Apparently Tim Curry had a Q&A session at a convention in Toronto, which yielded an hour-long video of the man showing just how funny he still
is...

BF got ill sadly...
The weekly second-hander trip was interesting! I bought a pack of DVDs to give to my sister for her birthday, a magazine and a CD for me, and I saw
three things that caught my eye.
The first was an Asian band with Chinese script, called JTL.
Second was a CD by a group called Medieval Baebes.
Third was a highly unusual musical instrument.
Checking out JTL (cheesy Hong-Kong hiphop) and Medieval Baebes (celtic choir) I was happy I left both of them in the store.
But then there was the musical instrument. A Crumar Panorgan X-76.
It was huge, yet in a portable case (as in: has a handle), and had all the switches of an electronic organ, but the keys were knobs like that of an
accordeon.
It was 99 euros, so on the expensive side: we already have a 70s electronic organ which doesn't sound too hot and which is so heavy it's busy rotting
away in the garage. These instruments tend to sound poor, be unwieldy and not to have much value, so I left the panorgan at the shop. Wouldn't be able
to carry it home anyway.
It sounds like this:

(fast forward a bit)

Those Dir En Grey managers sure know how to line their pockets! For 6000 yens, some 42 euros, I could be the owner of a Dir En Grey trash can!

Aaand we're back after a brief downtime!
Tough day today - yesterday evening I got drilled out of bed by an overly loud metal concert:

And this morning I got drilled out of bed by the neighbors removing a garbage container and leaving a truck run stationary for fifteen minutes.

Bloody neighbours! The family over the road made use of our garbage bin last week without asking.
