I Saw Two Magpies Today

Where did they go graceful in the morning light?

This song sang by Swedish First Aid Kit is so beautiful. I wish I could sing like this.

The weary night. Kills me inside.

I like the weather today. This is the view I've got from my room in Utrecht. I know I'm supposed to be learning so I'll pass my exams next week.

En andra bra sång

I'm getting excited about my trip to Stockholm while listening to this song!

Being with him made my brain quiet. I didn’t have to invent a thing.

I've got lots and lots and lots of books. Last year half my room was covered by books and my mother made space somewhere else in the house for me to put them. Now I've got two rooms (one in Utrecht and one in my parents' house) to keep my books and I'm making very good use of this opportunity. The books I'm currently reading are:
- Wij Vrouwen - Simone de Beauvoir
- 1984 - George Orwell
- The Beatles in stripvorm - different writers
- Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close - Jonathan Safran Foer
- About A Boy - Nick Hornby
Depends on my mood which book I eventually choose to read ;).

When she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine

Last Saturday I decided to ignore my illness and went to Amsterdam - again - to visit a so called flea market in the IJ-hallen with a friend from my study. It was my first time over there, but definitely not my last! I bought way to many records. When I hear the word 'records' I immediately hear John Lennon saying it in one of the live songs of The Beatles I've got. That's one reason why I like the word 'records.' Anyway, the only thing I need now is a record player in my room in Utrecht, because they're so good, I can't just listen them when I'm staying at my parents' house.

Forever and Ever, Amen

2010 werd niet zoals ik verwachtte. De eerste helft was werkelijk verschrikkelijk en ik wil er niet langer aan denken. Vandaar dat mijn overzichtje begint bij de tweede helft van het jaar. Deze andere helft was compleet het tegenovergestelde van de eerste en daarom de moeite van het vermelden waard.
