Music.

I missed the birthday. The birthday of my Last.fm. It happened last wednesday and, of course I forgot to take some snaps from that beautiful page of mine to memorize where I was at this time in music. But this doesn't mean I don't want to talk about music. My favorite music. Yes, here we go.

First of, right now, I'm just going to be straight forward and come clean with this. The -musical- love of the moment is Kanye West. And in particular My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I'm not sure if I've mentioned the time I was obsessed with Yeezus on here, before, but now it's this album's turn. I'm thanking NME magazine for this.

I bought that baby when in London at the beginning of the year. It had the 50 best albums of the century so far in it, with Arctic Monkey's A.M. on top. Nr. 2 was My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. If they have such good musical taste to put A.M. on top of this list, so it should be a good idea to give it another try. Plus Dan mentioned loving it a few times before. Another good reason to try it again.

And what an amazing idea it was. Kanye West was amazing. I love his music. From his last two albums, at least. God, those are good. 

So My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has been greatly adored the past month. Aside from Power, which I have loved for a while now, I have discovered Lost in This World. Just give it a listen. 

Apart from that, Arctic Monkeys are creeping around the corner again. Falling back in love with them.

Also, I saw Submarine yesterday. The film Alex Turner made the soundtrack for. Great one. Want to read the book. And watch it again. And listen to the soundrack on repeat again. 

Soooooooo. Not a bad month, I would say. At least for me it wasn't. I highly enjoyed it. My ears liked it a lot. 

As for what I've listened to the past year, I'm afraid you'll have to snoop back on last year's blogposts, on a search for musical ramblings. Enjoy.

Have a nice life,

All the best lyrics.

I have a new platform you can find me on: Notegraphy.

I'm not completely sure why I love it this much, but I do.

Notegraphy is an app (mobile and web) where you can write down a text of your choice and choose a template, designed by various artists, to make it look nice. It's kind of an Instagram for text.
When you think about it, it's not really that creative, since you literally just choose a template you like and post it, but I like it so much.

I'm a sucker for good lyrics in songs. (Kind of explains a part of my absolute love for Arctic Monkeys) and I regularly post a lyric on twitter. I really like Notegraphy for sharing my favorites and having them look good as well. This will be a place where all my faves will be gathered together in a collection of nice looking texts, all in a design that I found most fitting to the lyric.

Another thing I really like about it, is that you don't just 'like' a post someone made. You Thank them. You can thank them for a Smile, Inspiration, Lauch, Story, Feelings, Mindtrip or Help. I find this amazing. You literally get a notification 'this person thanked you for inspiration'. The best thing ever.

The only thing I miss is the ability to only see english posts. Since it's all about text, it is international and in every language, which results in me trying to wade my way through foreign languages on the 'Explore' page, on the search for something I'll understand, which is a shame.

Notegraphy is one amazing way of sharing your inspirational quotes or love for music through text. And it all looks so good.

I would say, just go check it out and you'll get what I'm talking about. And feel free to follow me for your daily song lyric, find me with ThisisWinnie (surprise, surprise).

Have a nice life,

P.S. Happy Birthday Phil!!! (a.k.a. AmazingPhil)

Endings.

It is all coming to an end. This also means an internship report needs to be made. No, not just written, Made. 

I'm an Art&Design student, so it doesn't only have to explain everything, but it also needs to look as good as possible. You have to show how good you are. And, beyond that, printed out it has to look good too. No simple prints in report folders. No, no, no. It has to look, again, as good as possible, professional, taken care of. So I'm hand binding mine. This is quite a lot of dedication, though, since there are 3 different documents that need to be binded and I need to bind everything 3 times. That should be a fun weekend. But I'm excited for it. I have this whole image in my head of how I want it to look and I'm so excited to finally execute it and make it real. 

After that, internship is completely over for this year. All done. Back to school. I've heard some rumors on what the next half year will look like and this doesn't sound bad at all. 

And I'm planning a vacation with my friends. A week full of sun, food, swimming and good times.

Excited for what's to come.

Look out for a blogpost on my Last.fm's 2nd birthday, 

I will talk to you soon.

Have a nice life,

First.

Well hello there.
How about another ramble of text straight from my head to the digital page. I'm ready.

You see, internship is almost over. Finally, actually. I'm kind of very done with all this right now. Don't know if I've said this before, but internship isn't my favorite thing. What bliss it will be once I get back to school, walk around with my friends all day, focus on the projects, try to inject all my creativity into them, having TIME FOR MYSELF. Not having a full-time job plus 2 extra's.
I'm going crazy. My time for myself is sacred to me. Not having it exhausts me.

This weekend I've been home alone for 3 days. It was amazing. I could move around as I liked to, I could talk to myself -out loud- this time, just live and think without people talking to you out of no-where. It felt really good to cook for myself, experiment with food and loving what I made (cauliflower crusted pizza and home made fries from the oven. Ooooooh take me back to those fries). I loved this weekend. I want it again. But it will probably quite a while 'till I will have this again, since Mom and Dad are taking Annik home again. Annik will be back from London tomorrow. And she won't be staying for just a week. No, school is about to start again for her, too. The family will be complete again, all back to normal.

Tonight's my last night alone. I'm sitting on the couch, surrounded by cats, with my laptop and Gossip Girl in the background. I do have to get up to vacuum. Just that, then I'm done. I have a dessert waiting for me. That's something to work for. I'm in a really good mood.

But yeah, can you blame me?

Have a nice life,
Xoxo
