That joke isn’t funny anymore

I woke up from a nightmare around 2am last night.

When i realized that i was not dreaming anymore, i heard foot steps in my flat.

Oh god i thought. No, not this happening to me. God no!!

I was terrorized, thinking that someone got into my flat while i was sleeping.

With my heart beating so fast, i could just not think about what to do. Terrorized i was, until i realized that it was grozamour, who is now so fat that his cats footstep are enough to make the floor creak. Oh jesus…

I laid back and started remembering this nightmare i was having… I was in a dance class, repeating the steps of a really strange choregraphy, surrounded by classmates who were something like non human beings. And in my dream, it was kind of normal.

Weekly obsession: The One AM Radio

please let the rain in.
open all the windows wide.
let the wind blow that furious thing inside to spring forth some life.
Under thunder and gale

The One AM radio. Soft vocals, harmonious strings broken by tight electronic beats and very intimate, emotional lyrics. Something i would call like a semi folk album, it can remember a bit of the Rachels, The postal service, and even some old kings of convenience stuff.

They will be playing at la sala rossa next week, a must see.

packed everything you had into the car.
rolled the whole thing into the lake.
now there’s nothing left to tie you to this place except a heavy, sinking ache
Buried Below

TypePad.de now online

Typepad, the hosted weblogging service i am using, is now available in german. So it is now available in english, french, spanish and german.

The french and german versions gives the user a 2 months free trial, not fair. I only got a 30 days free trial…

Anyways.. here’s the link:
* TypePad: Ihr Weblog-Service

For all the people who asked me recently about how to start a weblog, i would suggest you start with blogger, if it’s your first time blogging. Blogger is easy to use and is free. Later on, when u get into it and decide that blogging is mostly THE reason why you are here on earth, then you can switch to typepad (or movabletype if you are a geekwiz).

Here’s the link to blogger:

Wish u much fun – keep me posted.

Protoblogging

Ed introduce us (at least ME) to protoblogging:

protoblogging — when you blog pre-written stuff that you would have blogged if you had had a blog back then.

If i had 2000$

I would probably go to the Graphic Europe design conference in october.

Speakers include Ian Anderson (designers republic) and my long time idol, Peter Saville, best known for his famous record covers done for factory records in the 80’s.

Standard rate is 795 lovely Euros.

Me and chumé

Mel is away for some days, so my mission since 3 days is to feed her cat and rabbit.

Her cat, jetaime, and her rabbit are closely living together since last march. Since i didn’t knew the name of the rabbit because it changes everytime i see him, i simply decided to call him Chumé.

Chumé is a nice, soft and not-too-fat-but-just-enough rabbit.

So.. here’s a post about me visiting my 2 friends, much in need of affection and cold water:

Here’s Chumé (Isn’t he cute??)

Here’s jetaime cleaning Chumé

Here’s hm, yeah, a cat wrestling with a rabbit

This is me and Chumé

Me and Chumé.. much in love..

A cat and a rabbit, wrestling for the love of a girl..

And yeah.. everything must end.. here is jetaime, laying on my bag like as to ask me not to leave already… It was fun guys.

work of art

Julie Verhoeven’s work is just truly amazing. She’s got a new portfolio online beside Me Company’s portfolio which is also absolutely stunning with fragile 3d rendered atmospheres.

Me Company’s client list include apple, bjork and kenzo. Brilliant.

Why blogs are no Tamagochis

Tamagochis are isolated.
Weblogs are connected.

Tamagochis don’t make friends.
Weblogs create networks.

Help keep bloggers alive!

i had a funny *and weird* idea reading Nika’s post about her scooter accident this morning.

See and tell me how weird this is.
The idea is to do a little fundraising event, or even promotion stuff like tshirts with written on:

“Help keep bloggers alive! Donate!”

And of course, we would use the money we get to help bloggers in trouble – help us pay our monthly typepad bills, internet provider bills, and even get some money to repair a blogger’s broken scooter…

i dont know where i get all these silly ideas from. I must be in need of sugar..

HVW8 – last call

The exhibition ends tomorrow so hurry up!

The saddest is that it took them a week to paint all the walls of the gallery, and all this will be repainted over.
