%~NEW MONKEYS"+

It's all about Alex in this one. Dude looks so serious :) I think I'm finally getting used to that long hair though...

(&GETTING READY FOR THE LOWLIFE_}

Tomorrow I'll arrive. I'm bringing my tent and everything. Can't believe I'm actually going. Bloc Party!!! Arctic Monkeys!!! Sweet! Lowlands here I comeeeeeeeeee!
My first ever real big festival :)

>+GEORGE CLOONEY IS A FOX_&

Can't wait. I'm normally not a big fan of Mr. Clooney, but his voice fits very well here.



The Monkeys are already done. Enjoyed it in all it's shortness. Nice to hear those songs played live. But because they're a quality band it sounded as good as the studio versions so not much new here. Here are some screencaps I took.









I watched Ponyo today ADORABLE!! Incredibly cute. This one is more directed towards the little kids than some of Miyazaki's other works. There are no characters spitting blood in this one, just lots of water :)I felt like a toddler most of the time with a big grin on my face. I loved the characters and the diversity of style in animation. I might go to the cinema tomorrow again as well. There's not much else to do really :D

ALMOST!!! :D

Arctic Monkeys Live Transmission

The new album has leaked! I've been enjoying it so far. Much darker stuff than their previous two albums. I like it :)

?{GET MYSELF SOME EDUCATION&%

I'm starting to learn a bit more about my camera. Just recently I looked for the Dutch manual that came with the camera and started reading it something I had never done before (!) The thing is when I buy something like a camera I don't have the patience to first read the manual and get to know all about the different options, I just want to start shooting pictures. So for months I've been using this thing without having complete knowledge about every button and all the possibilities it offers. I just kept using the same options and when switching between them I never really noticed any clear difference. But after having done some more reading this morning and experimenting this afternoon I've come to realize there really are differences! Of course I guessed this was already the case. It had to be, why else are there different options and not just one?! But having more knowledge about what each button is for and the possibilities it offers I now understand my camera way better than I did yesterday. It's funny when you read the manual and you follow the instructions that when you try it out yourself you actually really get what you read. I didn't know I was able to manually change the darkness and brightness and to such huge extent! For some people this might be no news, but to me it is! :)) I may even end up feeling very different towards using the auto-correct button on my pc or programmes like Photoshop. Because it has become really clear to me now that you can already brighten up an image with your camera. So either way you do this while shooting or do this after during post-production using Photoshop or the auto-correct button. There's no real difference really. Nothing seems completely real anymore. There's always some intervention going on whether you like it or not. I guess I'd always knew this and at the same time not really. It seems I had to be made aware. So it's a good thing I'm finally learning. Only downside is that I now feel like I have a million different possibilities to take a picture that I didn't have yesterday. So how am I going to choose?! I guess in time I will learn to recognize a certain situation and immediately know what option or style is best to use but for now these next couple of days will be filled with discovery.

Tomorrow at 9 pm UK time, 10 pm here, Arctic Monkeys will do a live web transmission playing songs from their upcoming third album Humbug! Watch it all go down here
I'll make sure I'll be home watching!!

Alex Turner's hair is getting bigger and bigger. He looks so silly :D

Thanks to Stereogum

As often happens I found myself goofing around. And this is the result :p














I love my boots! :D

I'll try to get myself a one month summer job by the way. So I'll stop playing around and spend my time more wisely. I promise! ^-^

^&COMMERCIALS:}

I woke up pretty early and spent my morning looking at some really nice but also some very cheesy commercials. There's something about this Burberry one that's just all kinds of cool.

The featured song is by this band called Blondelle titled pest Control. It's a good one.

And because I've gone a little bit Daria Werbowy obsessive.

Kris Van Assche, Julius, Blaak Homme, and Junya Watanabe. All from the latest Paris Fashion Week

The Mediocre

Kris Van Assche - Nicely layered. Layering is a good thing. I just don't really like it that much. It's alright. Expected more.















Blaak Homme - Footwear is a bit odd. It's all pretty different. Own style. Rather unusual looking. It's not bad but just very different. :) Perhaps not what I would wear. Good choice of models. They wear the clothes well and make them look good. Feels more art project-ish.

The model's red hair makes it look good :)



Hmmm, what are those shoes? Give me a closer look.







Junya Watanabe - His models should look a bit less cranky. Don't like the hats. They ruin the looks for me a bit. It's hard to see past them. There aren't many looks that really strike me. Not that impressed. It's a bit too repetitive in a negative sense. Have the feeling I saw some looks over and over again.

Wouldn't think about wearing pink jeans but they work quite well here



Nice kind of green



Nice blazer








Julius - Has good boots. Some jeans are pretty cool. The drapery thing is not working for me though. Not at all. Apart from that it's good. These looks I like.





This look I like






This is what I mean. Come on, no one would want to wear this unless you're out in the desert



Not my style

Added the new Arctic Monkeys to the playlist. Grew on me quickly. It's a good song with some pretty catchy parts.
