Julynell’s world

I just ordered myself 2 tickets for a try-out concert of the dutch band Kane. They are going to release a new album in May of this year and do one great concert in June in Rotterdam. Before that, they do some try outs here and there. They come to Eindhoven as well. A colleague of mine tipped me off yesterday about that and this morning the tickets were in pre-sale. So I got me two. One ‘problem’ though, there is no one that wants to go with me! In my surroundings I am the only one that even likes Kane Except one friend but she is going to move that week, so she can’t go.
Nevertheless, I bought 2 tickets and will wait and see if someone changes their mind If not, I will be all by myself there.

Their new single is as good as the last one:

So, my friend Humane entered a contest at Emporio Armani to design a commercial pamphlet or movie for his new fragrance. Please take a look at her design here and leave your vote! Thanks a lot!

I feel like crap :s Mostly because I couldn’t get myself to go to bed last night. For some vague reason the picture of my dad in his last hours is haunting me again. And at the moment I don’t know how to get rid of it or even why it popped up again yesterday.

Sis and I had a bit of a rough time yesterday afternoon at mom’s. She keeps two rabbits in the garden and one of them didn’t show himself since friday morning or something. Sis and I thought this was a bit odd and got the creepy feeling the rabbit was laying dead somewhere under ground or in his shelter. The problem with this shelter was that the opening faced the fence and the room between the opening and the fence is less than a meter. You couldn’t even get a good look inside the thing, let alone get a dead animal out of there. Unfortunately we were right, the rabbit lay dead in his shelter. It took us about an hour to get him out of there without touching him. I am very grateful my sis did most of the work. If there is one thing I can’t stand, it’s dead animals. I can’t even look at them, let alone touch one. It makes me shiver. Off course mom was very emotional and that made things worse. She got the rabbit on my dad’s birthday, so go figure.

And for some reason after I got home and Croga and I watched the second movie of Harry Potter, the image of my dad came haunting me and I don’t seem to be able to get rid of it.
Another thing is that March is the worst month of the year for me, with the winter blues and all. My winter depression hits an all time low. Especially when we don’t go to a warm country in february I very much suffer from lack of sunlight. Which causes emo moods again. And so you are in some kind of circle from which you can’t seem to break out. Ah well, next month things look up again. Summertime sets in by the end of the month and April can be a very good month, weather wise. Add to that our vacation to scotland the 15th of April and when May starts I will be my old self again. Untill next year…

I always thought his songs were nice, nothing more. Just another one of those commercial singers. But now he won me over
I totally fell in love with ‘Do you know (the ping pong song)’. Yes, I am talking about Enrique Iglesias (who is my age but still looks like 23, how does he do that?).

Besides the fact that he is waaay too good looking (and that’s an understatement; I wouldn’t mind waking up next to him in the morning ), he can actually sing (what do you expect with a dad like his )
So I roamed youtube a bit and found out that I actually really very much like a lot of his songs (to my own surprise, it normally would not be my genre)
And now I want to go to one of his concerts when that is possible (whenever he is on tour again and makes a stop in Holland).

Ah, I guess ones taste changes from time to time
Ok, the clip is somewhat annoying (the pieces with the talking lunatic should be skipped) but other than that, the song is great

The concert of Earth, Wind and Fire was great! Thousands of people getting excited and through the roof almost And mostly people of my mom and dad’s generation but also younger people, like me All dancing and singing along. We had a hell of a time! (in a good way)

But the evening ended not that good…my car broke down :s

When we drove to my sister’s house (to drop off my brother-in-law) the radio suddenly stopped playing and a couple of lights in my dashboard that aren’t supposed to be burning, lit up. My headlights started to faint and then the car fell silent. We were like:”what the hell?!?” So I popped the hood and my brother-in-law took a look at it but could not find anything in particular. About 10 minutes later, the car started again so I decided to drive home. You can guess what happened….halfway home the same thing happened all over again, almost in the middle of a crossing road. I managed to get the car out of the main drive way and called my sister (Croga would already be asleep at 0:30 AM) They came over and towed me home. By the time we got into the street where we live, my headlights and those orange thingies meant to sign which way you go (how stupid is that?! I can’t remember what they are called in English) weren’t working at all anymore. Hell, even my breaks weren’t working. So, it’s bad. Probably some kind of interference in the computer on board or something. There is too much going on for just a flawed piece of the motor. So; a hell of a time (in a really bad way)
But the worst part is yet to come…tomorrow morning I have to tell Croga what happened and that his beloved car is going to cost us money, again…
