i just got home from one of the best dinners in history.. it was roderik and my going away/my birthday dinner. so all day in the office was busy, but a bit more at ease -- roderik and allard started cooking at 5/530... champagne all around, gifts, plus early birthday gifts, and a night of laughs, reminiscence, loud music, and heavy drinking. the dinner was exquisite -- roasted lamb, couscous potpourri, as roderik called it, and an amazing salad -- i haven't eaten so well in months! also, allard found his camera he had misplaced at the opening party, so we saw all of our pictures from day one... it was a nice note to end on.
on a sour note, earlier today i received an email from my roommate... originally she told me i had to be out the end of may, as they would be moving to barcelona, and her dad putting the place up for rent to a family... so i planned accordingly, started looking for places to live and took action. now she says, oh must be your mistake, you have to stay until the end of june. hah!
well i'm moving... and it took a big fight, and a loss of 200 euros to get out of it all, but whatever -- fighting is useless to me, so i would rather just go separate ways peacefully, without a lot of crap. my office is ready to set fire to my building as soon as they learn her identity. they've already made tons of threats... so i refuse to make a big, drawn out scene about it. tomorrow is my birthday, and i will be moving. i'm going to stay with yvonne for 2 weeks as she will be gone next week anyway, for a wedding in sevilla for a week. the big guy has offered to help me out, with the volvo we never took a road trip in... and hopefully there will be something left of me to want to celebrate my birthday. as of now, i want nothing to do with it but maybe a drink.
i need to go to bed as we have a very, early meeting to go to concerning the outcome of the vondelpark competition. that would be the best birthday gift hands down -- to win!
