We’re in England. Two days ago we met Jasper and he took us on a walk along the Seven Sisters cliffs between Eastbourne and Brighton. It was great meeting in person and talk, take photos and getting rained on. And while I’m only hoarding negatives, he has photos posted to his blog.
As preparation for the practical exams, our last task at school was a project over which we had almost complete control. The only thing that was set was a brand name and general values, as well as the product they make. That product was beer.

Pretty perfect movie, if you ask me. The 12 more or less angry men are all so good. The whole concept of only talking about a murder case after the trial, surfacing ever more details and eliciting more of the jurors characters, was so good. Suspenseful and entertaining. A timeless classic.
This was more high-quality than I expected beforehand. Great story, great acting, great visuals, some good humour, and above all: great special effects. Those kills were really fun and well done. My favourite was the whole action in and around the restaurant. When The Blob gets bigger and bigger towards the end, the effect quality sadly suffers quite a bit, and the end itself lacked a little something. But overall, it's been a very entertaining evening!
More Converge, more betterer! Certainly one of my favourite discoveries in recent years. While I enjoy everyone here, it’s again Ben Koller’s drumming and Nate Newton’s bass playing that fascinate me most. Just listen to that groovy drum rhythm, together with the rather calm bass in “All we love we leave behind”, or this insane drum fill in “Veins and Veils” (again, with a great bass riff). Putting a ride symbol in there like this makes me absolutely addicted, and makes me happy for days.

In the middle ground, there are Gothic buildings in the city of Edinburgh with several turrets and towers, including a University of Edinburgh building. In the background, a tall church spire peeks through the dense fog.
