Moving on

We've been moving. It's hard work, let me tell you... I've spent hours putting stuff in boxes and taking stuff from boxes. Now that everything starts to fall into place (except one very messy room), it's starting to look it was worth it.

Our new apartment is gorgeous, that's for sure. We've got one extra room (and a sauna!), over 20 square meters more and the building is 40 years newer than the previous one. Quite an improvement, I'd say.

There are downsides, too. The most obvious one is the lack of Internet connection. Once you get used to having a 24/7 Internet connection, being a week without can be painful. Well, judging by the e-mail I get, I don't lose much, but reading blogs and the board game society forum has become a habit like reading the morning newspaper.

Well, that should be settled on Monday (fingers crossed!) and this entry will probably be posted then so it'll be old news already and we can really enjoy our new home. Now we're just waiting for a new carpet on the living room floor and our new, superneat sofa.

Last House on the Left

Last House on the Left was the debut for the horror film director Wes Craven. It's based on Ingmar Bergman's movie Virgin Spring, which I haven't seen, so I can't compare.

The story could be an urban legend. There's a moral in the story: using alcohol and drugs and not using a bra (the movie's from 1972 and it shows) lead to a gruesome death. Poor girls.

The movie balances in between violence, anxiety and comedy. It's a bit unbalanced, I think, and at some times slows to a crawl. Wes Craven has certainly directed better movies during his career. I wouldn't recommend Last House on the Left except for those who are interested in Craven's career in general.

Moving

We're currently pretty busy packing up our stuff. We're moving tuesday; we'll get a bigger place (one extra room, 25 or so extra square meters) in a building that's much better than our current one.

When going through our kitchen cupboards, we found a tin of tea that's been sealed with tape, to keep the tin from opening while moving. You know, it's been, what, four years since we moved? I'd say it's time for that tin of tea to go!
