The choke 23:06

Groezrock 2010, still too disappointed by the STD cancellation to write a decent review. The festival area dust cloud was without a doubt bigger, thicker and unhealthier than the volcano ash cloud above Europe.
--- Traffic jams, corn field parking lots, lack of veg food, cold nights, germans/ollanders, dust yeti taking a bite out of my license plate, green tosi peppers
+++ pit_vs_festivalgevoel.gif, Bouncing Souls, Face To Face, 88 Fingers Louie, Defeater (despite the crappy sound), Bad Religion, Strike Anywhere.
Props to the AFI performance. The Millencolin setlist could have been a lot worse, still sounded uninspired. Wish I saw/heard more of Lit. The Zebrahead merch guy called me "buddy". I'm not a big Zoli/Ignite fan but Pennywise was awesome.
Picked up a Midtown & Gaslight Anthem CD + the new Defeater EP. No Tigers Jaw or Make Do And Mend stuff :-(

Speaking of TJ.
TIGERS JAW - CHEMICALS.

+ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM5AISq2qN8 (I Saw Water cover by a lesbian in a Floorpunch sweater). Excellent taste in covers: Jawbreaker, Lemuria, Rocky Votolato, NFG, Vanessa Carlton...

The new Far album - At Night We Live - will be released in a month.

Evening seminars about communication and computer security are awesome. Eyes and ears glued to the exposition of some crypto mastermind convincing a handful of techies (and their managers) of the false feeling of present-day security. Cheese sandwich/coke/coffee break.
Oh yeah, the Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce and Google clouds are nothing compared to the Conficker botnet.

If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you"

If you're not feeling Jimmy Eat World, you're a fool.
Pain, love, loss, drugs, Wham/Firestarter covers,... it's all there.
And it's as sweet as it is wrecking.

Jimmy Eat World - Stay On My Side Tonight EP.
Disintegration / Over / Closer


Supermarkets are interesting in many ways. I agree there's a difference between the Aldi and the Delhaize crowd but in general supermarkets hold a small, average selection of our society.
Old, young, rich, poor, dirty, cute, ugly, smelly,... Pretty much every person-describing adjective can be matched to a supermarket visitor.
Here's a short list of things noticed, love and hated in supermarkets (I know):

- Lobsters. I have to make a stop at the lobster tank. Never in my life have I seen somebody buy lobsters in a supermarket. Sometimes I think they're not even real and are plastic fakes, part of an experiment fooling goons like me. Some of them have tiny bubbles rising for their mouths, some don't. Also, I wonder what company produces the shiny elastics wrapped around lobster claws. This seems rather difficult to strap these bands by a machine so there must be a guy doing nothing but that the entire day.
- Stereotyping fellow shoppers. I can't help but secretly staring into other people's shopping baskets and making up stories about their lives. I'm a supermarket profiler: serial killers, happy/crappy singles, millionaires... I'm onto you. Hello prejudice.
- People breathing in your neck, bumping their karreke on your heels, crawling nearly over you when checking out. BACK THE **** OFF!
- "Shit, I forgot my recyclable bag". Watch me stack groceries at the counter because I'm too stubborn to buy a new one.
- Pet food. I'm fascinated, especially cat food. Cat food model must be the most awesome pet job ever. I love the arrogant ones.  Cute vs staring straight and not blinking.
- Checkout lanes. Somehow I always succeed in picking the slowest one. I gave up looking for a logical reason behind this phenomenon a while ago. Now I choose the line with the most attractive cashier. Might as well enjoy the wait.


This reminds me I never finished Cashback.

Moscow underground.

There's a The Get Up Kids session too.

Still siked:
Title Fight @ Che Cafe


Cold World @ Che Cafe


- The Ghent Trash Talk show was insane. Let's say there was electricity in the air.
- In 4 days, I've seen performances in a living room, a casino and a church.
- Winter weather makes for the chillest drives.
- I hate dvddecrypter/imgburn failing at back-upping DVD's.

Back and forth. Forever. 23:54
