Today (yesterday if you like) Utopia held its annual HCC Dagen meeting!

And then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere it came: First snow and frost.

Just came back from Tilburg, after a long day of being jumpy (couldn’t really handle myself somehow) and andskotinn, what a difference with Paradiso!

Read a kinda funny entry on the Iceland Report (found it via the Noisedfisk weblog, very interesting if you’re interested in Nordic culture) about a new “American style” restaurant called American Style in downtown Reykjavík.

Oooooooooh, nicey nice! Spotted in the Hermanus Boexstraat, Eindhoven:

Long ago (four years to be exact) Breda got its own ice rink and I was determined to go there often and instead of renting skates everytime I decided to buy my own… Well, turned out to be a wrong choice, because I only went two or three times that year, the next year also a few times and then they just laid about in the box. Luckily, good skates don’t rot away, so I can use them now and they still fit (I didn’t really grow that much in the last few years)!

Sebastiaan gave me a link to an interesting article by Michio Kaku about the physics of advanced alien civilizations (here’s a PDF in case the link doesn’t work) and how far we are of becoming an advanced civilization.

Yesterday, the whole bunch of the flat went to the Design Academy for the yearly Graduation show. Of course, flatmate Esther Ermers who graduated last December was there with her Spinning abc. She created 26 stools out of the letters of the (Dutch) alphabet.

Yay, I’m going to see them again!

It really has been a strange week.
