Not bad, thank you! Yesterday evening we had "Remembrance of the Dead", which as you might know commemorates all civilians and members of the armed forces of the Kingdom of the Netherlands who have died in wars or peacekeeping missions since the outbreak of World War II.
On TV I saw some impressive documentaries. One of them about the girl choir of Theresienstadt.

And today May 5th is Liberation Day out here. The sun is shining and we're planning to make a short biketrip.

May and June will be two very busy months full of musical activities that I expect to be very cool.
 
Alright, I'll mention that as well. :)

Since I am in a rush I'll make this post with help of some copy paste actions from a text from a site that was made before the film was released, but I changed that a tiny bit since it's done now:

"In Line for Anne Frank"

Day in, day out, year after year, a long line can be seen in front of the Anne Frank House. A line of patient waiters, consisting of all possibly nationalities. They are there, because they want to enter the Anne Frank Museum, because they want to see the Achterhuis.
The hiding place of the most famous victim of the Second World War: Anne Frank.

In the documentary “In Line for Anne Frank” we see extraordinary stories from that line. Who are the people standing here? Where are they from, what do they expect? Are they involved citizens of the world who want to know everything about Anne Frank and her story? Or are they unknowing tourists on their tour of Amsterdam highlights?

We hear gripping and personal stories. E.g. an American, whose father died during the liberation, or girls who are the same age as Anne Frank. A German coping with feelings of guilt. A survivor from the same camp Auschwitz. Or an unsuspecting tourist who has just joined the line.

We see the visitors before and after their visit. At the entrance and at the exit. Never actually in the Achterhuis. What happened to them in there? How was it? Because briefly, they were in the same room as a girl who wanted to live in freedom, but couldn’t. Who wrote down what she felt and wrote history by doing so. We see visitors who come out, heads filled with emotions and stories. And what’s next? Into the city, reflecting, sharing stories or just on to Madame Tussaud?

The line is like a symbolic funnel. The whole world enters, is despite all the different backgrounds, briefly united in thoughts. And then there is the wry symbolism, because Anne Frank was eventually queuing too. In a line that would take her to the end of
her young life…
 
Fuck it. Had Germany won, we would be the ones with a bank holiday today. Thanks for nothing, you Austrian asswanker.
 
Yes, quite impressive, to hear the individual stories of these people. Their motivations to visit, to see what they've experienced in life, how they stand in life. How they connect with Anne.

IT have just phoned to say they're taking our system down in a moment. This could turn out to be a very lazy day.
 
Now he's being interviewed on the BBC!
I think he's trying not to swear on live TV.

I paraphrase Nicko: "The Crucible is like the Valhalla of Snooker. It would be like Maiden playing the Albert Hall (laughs)"

While I finalized the car deal, Selby won a series of frames to gain a 11-10 lead. Then O'Sullivan wins the first frame I watch after I return home :D

Both players actually looked really shaky in this frame.

It couldn't be closer: 11-11; 52-58 in the 23rd, and this frame is close to running for 40 minutes! And now they're going to stop this session early. Tonight's session could really go pretty late at this rate. When were they playing to last night; the back of 11 or something? Right now neither can pot for shit.
