neat.

Sorry, guys, I must delay the monthly review once more, since the beginning of June fell on a weekend and the layout files for the collages are at work. But here is a short update about last week. I spontaneously purchased a new bookshelf, well actually it's not new, but second-hand. Found it at ebay classifieds. It was about time, since the books piled up on my bedroom floor, which had it's charme, but I decided they needed a proper "home". 

This is how it looked before:

And here everything is neatly put in place.

P.S. Please don't tell anyone I messed up, mounting the aperture on the bottom in the wrong way. It's standing upright, that's what counts, ok?

So this morning started a little moody with some self-doubts and stuff...until I found this on my work desk:

tumbling backwards.

So here's a review of today in instagram pictures. (I actually wanted to boycott this app, when it was released for android, because of this douchebaggery but then I thought pissing all of this people off by using it, actually pleases me.)

So there was this big fleamarket (bavarians biggest, they say) in Munich, today, and I went with my best friend and her sister. I expected to end up going home with a handful of books, as usual, but I didn't find any interesting ones, only some that are already in my private library. But I was also looking for a picture frame for this WEEKEND movie poster Maria gave me as a present, and when I almost gave up, because the shapes and sizes and colors didn't match, I found the right one, yay!

Through the filters it looks a little yellowish, or even wooden, I guess, but it's actually golden, and I really really like it. I wasn't sure, at first, if it would match to the movie poster colours, but I think it's perfect. And from today on, it's the first thing I'll see when I wake up!

And the same vendor that sold the picture frame gave me that little cutie owl on the picture below for free, when I asked for the price. I still didn't figure out what kind of material it is made of, it looks very wooden, but it's really soft and fluffy.

As you can see, he is a little injured, missing half of his left eyebrow, but my ever growing owl family gave him a warm welcome.

Another thing I bought, was this rucksack. I kinda needed a new one (got my current one from the fleamarket aswell, last year, but I ruined the leather with a huge grease spot, hmpf). I feel a bit less guilty with this one, since it's not (fully) made of leather.

And then, also on the same day and spot in Munich there was this spring fair with all these carousels, and it got me kind of nostalgic, because I loved carousels when I was a kid (well, who didn't, right).
So got tempted and took a picture of the flying swing.

All in all an exciting day and I am pretty exhausted now.

I have mentioned it here or there. I love music. A lot. And I kind of inhale new artists like the air I breathe since I am always looking for something new and fresh, something unheard and extraordinary. And now, thanks to disconaivete.com, I discovered this new website called humanhuman.be which is perfect when you are looking for new music. I really love the concept of this site. Next to the possibility to explore unknown new artists, you can sign up and add your own discoveries. The only condition is that the artist must have under 10,000 listeners on last.fm. Yes! The website is connected to last.fm and also automatically syncs the genre tags, so you don't have to do it yourself, while adding new bands. And to make it even better: you earn credits for your discoveries. Everytime an artist gains more listeners on last.fm you get reputation points.

The website is still very new so don't mind some bugs appearing and give it a little chance. 

I signed up two days ago, and this is my profile: http://www.humanhuman.be/users/asymmetrictricks

Back to awesome, muchachos! I am still a bit snuffy but  bad weeds grow tall, you know. Today I found this awesome artist called GUY LARAMEE who carves landscapes into books. Hard to imagine, right? I thought so, that's why I wanted to share some pictures with you. 

That's some amazing shit, right? Find more pictures here.
