Seeing more and more birds flying in V-formation. That's when you know it's not going to be warm for much longer.

@lucifargundam I *love* that movie.

@inspired Heh, that's insane. He just wanted to have a giant holiday and work for it. ;)

@lydiaconwell That... was kinda hard to grasp.

So basically it is just 'modern art, but they're too snobbish to still call it that'?

I think in Dutch we just kept calling it 'modern art' (moderne kunst).

@inspired @peterdrake

I can appreciate a bit of K-drama at times, so I've added Extraordinary Attorney Woo to my watchlist.

Bojack Horseman I've seen a few episodes of. It's alright, more the kind you'd maybe watch terribly late at night when you're bored out of your skull. I try to adhere to saner bedtimes. ;)
I liked 'Close Enough' a bit more.

Currently into Season 2 of The Good Place. Season 1 was a little bit boring because I knew the outcome already (it's one of those moments where you wish you'd never seen it so you can be amazingly surprised again). But Season 2 is definitely picking up the pace that's still fun in a rewatch.

@lydiaconwell I keep forgetting what 'contemporary' and 'contemporary art' means... do you have an easy way to remember its meaning? And what does it mean again, exactly?

@PawelK It was just a 'special explosive situation'. :P

@mc Rofl yeah. I watched it when I was a teenager. It's quite a hilariously weird movie. ;)

@PawelK @lucifargundam From what I can see, the top seems not wider than the bottom, and the bottom probably has those special bumpers or sensors which'll make it stop if it encounters an obstacle and then goes around it.

@PawelK @lucifargundam So, just an oversized roomba.

@mc Oh gods, I remember that one. :D

I've finished reading 3 Dutch books in the past bunch of weeks, trying to figure out now what to read next.

What I've read:

- Huize Volverve (House Volverve) by Monique van Roosmalen. Reasonably entertaining story about an elderly home where you see the flashbacks of those old people and how they interact with each other and how connected they are after all from the past. And no, this was not a murder mystery, heh.

- Het huis met de rode luiken (The house with the red shutters) by Marja Visscher. A historical fiction. A few people have actually existed, and this story is partly based on history, about when the Dutchies were trying to decide whether they wanted to support royalty or become a republic instead. And later a bit about the colonisation of Indonesia. But that's not the focus, just the backstory. The focus is a woman married to Herman Willem Daendels, about how she experienced her life with this unpredictable man. Not bad.

- De atlas van overal (The atlas of everywhere) by Deniz Kuypers. About the writer who's half Dutch and half Turkish. He's not understanding his own feelings and his relationship with his Turkish father very well, and tries to write this off (this book basically) in order to try to understand. There's a lot of (made up) stories about his father. Interesting mixed memories.

So yeah, that's some variety there. Other books I tried but dropped were:

- De Zwarte Wolvin (The black she-wolf, Loba Negra) by Juan Gomez-Jurado, the Dutch translation was awfully dry and felt out of place. A shame because the premise wasn't bad.
- Perfecte moord (Perfect Kill) by Helen Fields, I might actually read this someday but it is NOT recommended for reading before bed... Way too intense in the first chapter already.
- Ik zal je nooit meer (I will never you...) by Tatjana Almuli, totally not interested in this topic. Writing style's not fully to my liking either.
- Herinneringen aan hem (Reminders of him) by Colleen Hoover, still undecided, might try it a bit further but I want to read something completely different.

Maybe I want to read a StarTrek book now, or some other scifi. Time to search my library I guess.

@peterdrake Bummer. Glad it'll be rebuilt though. Tiny Libraries are cool.

@peterdrake How'd it catch fire?

@2ck Avatar is da bomb.

I'm still pleased as fuck that I found out a few days ago that I do have a thermos teapot after all. It'll be pretty useful the coming months.

@Teryl_Pacieco Damn, that's a cool mall.

@peterdrake Such a terrible, terrible pun!

@ClaudetteK Hu? Ik lees toch in het nieuws dat RIVM een start ziet van een najaarsgolf?

Whoopitidoo, that was a fire alarm test. Thankfully it's nice and sunny today.
