Bye Bye Responsibilities

Looooong overdue post this one here. As I am watching Glastonbury on TV, I thought it might be an idea to finally create a post about Pinkpop. However, I quickly remembered I already decided that I was not going to write an elaborate post on it, as my wonderful friend Aïsa already wrote this and this about it. She really walks you through our two days so if you feel like reliving our (rather wonderful) experience do read it :) Also, the friends she alludes to in the second one who went home early because they could not handle the absolute fucking hot weather, yeah, one of them was me. It was extremely warm those two days - and hasn't been since so yeah I feel like there's a conspiracy going on- and I really dislike heat so I just bailed. And failed. I still feel kinda bad about it so yeah there's another reason that I'm not really feeling blogging about it. It was a strange year this one. But still cool, if anyone's wondering. I saw the Arctic Monkeys which was really pleasing. OH and I really do want to mention one act in particular.

Stromae. That dude really did every single thing right. For those who do not know him, he's a Belgian artist. His music is mainly in French and one of the things I like about it is trying to actually understand the lyrics- which are kinda deep in most cases. But yeah I absolutely love French and I've always wanted to learn to speak it properly. ANWAY. Stromae. As I was saying, it was pretty much perfect (minus the fucking heat). He had good stage presence, his vocals were spot on and his on-stage antics, consisting of awesome dancing and a little bit of acting, were a joy to watch. Did I mention this guy's style? Because jesus was he rocking those kneesocks. His bandmembers were all wearing the same outfit as him, and for a split second I thought I was watching a Wes Anderson film, which let's be honest is always a good thing. This man is truly phenomenal and he got me dancing my ass of in the blistering heat- which is telling to say the least.

So that was Pinkpop. After that I had to study and had yet another exam week. I had a small break and now I've started working on my resit- or resits as I am up to two now. Yeah, good going. During my little mini break from anything uni related I moved back home, and then just watched a whole season of Orange is the New Black in a week? This series. Is so fucking good. I am really obsessed with it and have started watching the second season already. To those lost souls who have not seen OITNB or have missed the Netflix commercial on Dutch tv which got me to actually give it a try, DO TRY IT BECAUSE IT IS AMAZING. I cannot stress its brilliance enough. It has interesting and most of all realistic characters and dear God these ladies are just amazing. And it's all about them, which just makes it even better. I'm emotionally invested in this now can you tell?

Because of my recent OITNB obsession I have not been able to make any progress on watching films on my watchlist, which is actually a good thing because I have now seen so many films I want to write about that its getting a bit hard to choose. As I am now back to doing uni stuff my little project is still on hold, but I will genuinly try to do another review as soon as possible.

I can't wait for this vacation to actually start. I've been wanting to reread all the Harry Potter books before I move to the UK. Now how's that for a challenge?
