One year further

Hola,

And what a year it was. I really did a lot of things i liked last year. Working on the Canary islands was nice and sunny, and i found love at last. it costed me quite a bit of convincing, but after a few weeks we were living together. And that's ok. she is just a teatro-freak like me. So i don't have to worry about timetables and schedules anymore. 

It's nice to be both part of the same work of art. A creative upper.

After Las Palmas i came to Oviedo. Where i still live now. you can see the apartment on the foto. I finally buil the decor for an opera. It have been 6 months of frenetic building, We did the job with two (which is very few to build an entire decor). I'm proud of what i build. i never thought I could build the "baile en mascara". It's a great achievement, and i finally found out that I'm good at what i do. Logic and mathematics did the job. I don't have children but i felt the decor like my baby.  From paper to show.  Incredible. In bloody credible

Well the apartment I'm living now is goooooood. on top of Oviedo, 8th floor with a large terrace. No sounds of neihgbours, always warm , spacious. A Zen place.

Everything alright you should say? 

NOOOOO. I just wanted to stay one year in the same place, i didn't want more then just one year in the same house , enjoy the presence of my girl and have a home. My home. One year is asked to much i guess. Friday they said they had to cut staff, and the one to go was me. It has been some kind of trick or something. A downward spiral. And i was the centre of it. Although its shitty at the moment i was right and destiny told me to move to another place.

 World here i come

Waiting to conect

Hello cyberdears.

Finally i have a nice and more or less quiet spot to surf the www. In the meantime I'm living in Las Palmas close to the beach, really close. Almost all my free time i spend on the beach, suntanning with a 25 uv protection cream. I'm a tanned beach boy now. Nice and sexy.

I've had mi difficulties adapting to the changes. It's weird the first weeks to work and live here again. Changes, I'm getting more and more sick of them , every time it costs me a bigger effort to adapt. Am i getting old ???????????

I'm still waiting to get Internet at my place. Si i haven't been on the net a lot. It's about time, so i can read my newspapers and listen to the radio. I'm looking forward to have a desk and Internet.

And be able to send you some foto's


kisses,

El tren y tu RENFE

Hello,

Friday at two thirty i'll take the train to Madrid , and won't come back here till summer. I have never worked as much as the past few months. For Las Palmas I have better prospects , nice weather a good job and more free time.

Tomorrow it's the closure of the festival. It's been a very good festival i guess, we only received good critics in the papers. Good job well done. For me musically Tristan und Isolde, but the nicest one was Iphigenie.

5 months Oviedo have passed like nothing. Madonna sucks ( time doesn't go bye slowly at all ). If time keeps going this fast i will be gray in no time.

Friday i have a turntablesession in Madrid, i have been playing records all week long now. I'm nervous already. Last Saturday i managed to get me at least one session in Gijon this summer. It was nice that i didn't start the conversation about a dj set . They asked me, nice so they do remember me from last time. In Las Palmas i hope at least to play once. A nice dark industrial set maybe.

I hope to blog a bit more the next few months. Maybe life gets a little more interesting the year to come. And there is a lot more time to get connected.

To all Asturian people reading this blog. Thanx for taking care of me the last five months. Para siempre agradecido

agur,
Abe

My window to the world

Hello ,

As i told you in one of the earlier posts, when i work in the atelier of the Opera i make a lot of stuff. Finally i ended decorating my desk space. Actually i changed the entire room; It's a pity i didn't get a picture of the first day i came here. In the meantime i did a lot of stuff to change for the better. And when they told me i could store all my furniture in the Atelier until next year i don't have to think about spaciousness or weight.

I'm very fond of my desk decoration , it's the nicest space in the house and it's the place where i spend the most of my time. I only want to spend quality time here , and internal peace has its decorum to. For me it does anyway.

festivals , friends ( and alcohol )

at last , the pics

This morning i went to buy me a sd cardreader , and finally can publish some pics on the blog. I'll take some more pics the coming days. Nice that i can give some use to the camera again . Now i have to study photoshop a bit so i can take away the cigarette stains on my teeth. Watching the photo's i have to visit the dentists at x-mass.

sundy bloody sunday

hello babes,

This afternoon we had the second show of Lucia de Lammermoor, although i had a rough time trying to stay awake and living the Polyester hangover, everything went just OK; A lot of applause when the opera finished so everybody happy.

Friday i rented a car for a week; this week i only have to work in the theatre , and have a little time to travel. My first stop was Madrid. A blitz visit, after 4 hours of driving i arrived at aprox 22h and went straight to the Polyesterbar and stayed there, on Saturday i went for a stroll and had some Indian lunch. It wasn't as good as expected , but i like cheap Indian food. Yesterday i went again to the polyesterbar, and afterwards we went to the dark hole. Some things just don't change. there were to much people en el elastico , and in the darkhole was Dj miguel giving the best of himself , so i didn't stay long. At least i danced a bit, things that don't happen often over here in Oviedo.

This morning i started the long way back ( 450 km) and arrived just in time to shower and go to work.

Cheers folks I'm going to have some Chinese take away, and crash in the sofa watching the tele.

The Polyesterbar has it's own website and myspace. Maybe you'll see my party face in it's fotolog. And what a face it was.

i need an sd cardreader

Hello my friends,

Again it's time to write . I'd love to write more on my blog, but time is a precious gift in my life. normally we would have finished the construction of the next opera we 'll do. I have been working on it's construction for 15 days now, and it's really getting to much right now.

I don't like autumn , it makes me sad , and i start thinking things over and over again. I 've had a rough week , lack of sleep and a lot of child games in the theatre. I try to navigate trough these bad vibes, and always arrive in good spirits. I just love the theatre , but this week it was inevitable to duck for the bad vibes. To much time together in a theatre , makes people go nuts. Well tomorrow we have the premiere of Lucia de lammermoor and, i will have to discuss my contract for las palmas next week. Shiver and shake

While I'm working in the atelier of the opera i started making things with things they throw away over there. In all the days I've been working there i have made a lot of stuff for my room. My room almost looks like an opera scene. Taking my work home.

Lately i am a bit wired , autumn , work , soledad ,and a bit of other stuff makes that the next song is sticking with me all the time. Every time i hear it , i get reminded of the blond woman that i danced with at the X-RX show at summerdarkness. I hope she reads this one day , but chances are like euromillions.






I hope you enjoyed it , i have to buy me a memory card reader so i could publish a few photos. I'll try to buy one tomorrow, and publish some photos of dj Mazo and the life he's living in Oviedo.

Bye bye and see you soon. I hope that i can skip of to Madrid this weekend and get incredibly drunk in the polyester bar.

Asturian life ?????????????

Holala,


In the meantime I'm living in Oviedo , the capital of el PRINCIPADO de Asturias. A good enough title for the city I'm living in. The day after i arrived here i had to start work immediately. The first opera we did , was a heavy Tristan Und Isolde (Wagner), we worked all days long and sometimes nights . Heavy stuff , nice music but 5 hours of opera is just toooooo much. After Tristan und Isolde we started we with Thais ( Massenet) a french opera with a lot of uppers and a few serious downers. The aperture touched my soul, and i had to hold my tears in my eyes sometimes.


I'm having a week of free time to spend, second time in two months that i have two or more days off. The first time i went to get drunk in Madrid. I got drunk and Txuxi let me play records in the polyester, mola . In total I spend 1000 kms to have a drink with my friends. And it felt goood.


Saturday I'll be spinnin cd's in Gijon ( la bola ocho) , a town near by. The second time now, and I'm nervous already. At least i have the Internet to look for some nice tunes. i have some doubts about which Cd's to take along. Maybe tonight I'll get wiser.

hot choclat

I arose from the sleeping , since yesterday i'm conected again. Right in the middle of my only week of holiday( and i wanted to go and visit Poland). It took someone two months to reach my house and deliver me a decent modem . Setting the thing up you're asked to give the network a name , a difficult choice ,knowing that everyone with a laptop in the neighbourhood knows your networks name. I'm still single so i put hot-choclat, so everybpdy knows there's a Belgian living here.
