Thursday, January 19th, 2012two things i need to share right now
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012I’m revising my story at the moment; reading through the whole story again so I can ret-con the new plotline in. I need it to fit seamlessly, so I am re-reading stuff. And today I ended up reading the chapter that I’d originally called “Burning down the highway skyline”, which has a scene that just touches my heart.
Seamon and Joy do not have many moments of tenderness together, but this is one of them. I am not sure whether it works the way I have it in mind, but the image is so very clear in my mind. I see them outlined in the grass next to the highway, against the blue sky, smiling. They look so beautiful together for that one moment. Afterwards it all goes to shit of course, but this moment – it is one of those moments you take a snapshot of and remember for the rest of your life. And I’m not sure whether it does for you what it does for me, but for me it’s a very stark reminder to what it feels like to be stupidly in love, so heavily that your heart might burst. 
Ik kon opeens niet meer herinneren wat ik tegen hem had willen zeggen. Iets over teruggaan naar de auto misschien. Het boeide niet.
Onze blik duurde misschien maar enkele seconden, maar we keken elkaar aan en ik wilde hem weer kussen, weer seks met hem hebben, hem weer laten lachen. Ik was zo verdomde verliefd. Ik glimlachte uiteindelijk naar hem. “Kom op,” zei ik.
“Ja.” Hij nam mijn hand en gaf een kneepje, zo lief dat ik dacht dat mijn hart zou breken. “Laten we gaan.”

In other news, I got another music recommendation; it’s another from Kaneda. This one’s called “Forgive me first father (our blood shall feed the earth)”. I don’t know what they mean by the title because the song is instrumental, and it doesn’t sound bloody at all. It sounds beautiful, almost ambient like.
in squealworthy news…
Sunday, January 15th, 2012Olli and I just booked tickets for Dunk!festival in Zottegem (Belgium) in April. It is a post-rock festival, which coincides nicely with my budding love for the genre that came to a burning fiery fire in the past year. The festival itself is during the easter weekend, it’s dirt cheap (75 euro for three days, 35 euro for a day ticket), and it has at least five bands I want to see (like Pelican, 65daysofstatic, If These Trees Could Talk, Beware Of Safety, This Will Destroy You). And Steak Number Eight I want to see again, of course. The only thing that would have made it more perfect would be the addition of Explosions or Kaneda to the lineup, but I’m already immensely satisfied with just this lineup.
So we booked tickets, and I’m very excited about it. Not sure yet if any of the others will want to go with us, but for now I’d even be fine if it was just Ol and me. 
Guess we’re going to a festival this year after all. Ha!
