The Airportline: Observations

Yesterday evening. Training game in the Hague with Amsterdam Agents. I play great, two assists and one goal and not on the field on any of the five goals we let in. Game finishes 5-5. Return to Amsterdam with Johan the race car driver who floors his company car through the lights on the highway. We fly under Schiphol and the Surinam Airways Boeing 747 is as always parked next to the highway. Things feel good. But you can't have the good without the sour, so during the evening I am attacked by mosquitoes while trying to sleep and have to go up and eat at three in the morning. Wake up confused around ten with my legs hurting from the floorball game. Go out to get a plug to fix internet, get the plug but loose a chord. Go out again to get a new chord, it starts to rain, my legs hurt, no one has the chord I need. I bike longer, in the rain, haven't had breakfast yet. Get the chord from a disgustingly happy and social Dutch man, bike back in rain and wind. Eat breakfast while not getting the internet to work. Cancel lunch with friends cause my legs hurt too much. Overdose on chocolate muffins and coffee instead. Read Jonas Hassem Khemiri. Feel a bit better. Then realize I should write on my thesis, and work. Feel a bit less better.

Some people go on holiday and forget about life, war and other bad things. This is fine, and normal. Going to a Communist museum which showed the long battle against the Communists, on streets we were walking on in Prague... (café is playing Timbaland extemely loud, it's very difficult to form conclusive sentences with his beats crashing down on me, Denis is reading a book about Violence, called 'Violence', Ben is Prag Posting towards a deadline)... and then going to a documentary film festival and saw a documentary about the International Criminal Court in The Hague (called The Reckoning, the same title of my now famous leaving Amsterdam in summer of 2007 party), is maybe less normal. We were gonna do some second hand shopping but only found an art deco store with weird lamps. We did eat saussage and drink beer as well though. Today we write 'Andy Warhol' exhibition and 'St Patrick's Day' on the program. But right now it's George Michael and a cappuchino.
