Earlier tonight, I received an email from the wife of a very dear, very special friend, Jack D. Logan, informing us [his friends] that Jack has passed away. I’m still in shock. I thought he was pretty much through his health problems and well on his way to recovery… I have no idea how this happened. All I know is that I’m sad, and shocked, and cold, and….. *sob*
My heartfelt condolences go to his family and friends, and everyone who was lucky enough to know him.
On a bit of a personal direction… Gosh, this thread of me losing friends has to stop. 2011 has been gloomy in this way thus far… first a childhood friend of mine passed away, almost at the same time someone I thought of as a friend turned out to be anything but, then another friend passed away and now this….. *sight*…. =(
Jack will be sorely missed. I will most of all miss the music he shared with me….
Continuing tonight’s share of sorting through pictures, I’ve finally uploaded a few pictures of Aarau and around the new flat we just moved to. It’s very few for now, but I’ll add more pictures soon. Pictures from inside the flat will of course happen once I’ve actually managed to unpack, which is proving quite challenging with the amount of busy I currently am. =P Here’s the album.
So far I’m completely loving Aarau. The city has parts like Toronto and parts like Solothurn. The flat is in a high-rise building some minutes away from the more “metropole” looking center of the city, and believe it or not right in the middle of a jungle/park area. Right on the north of our building block the serious green starts, and the river is about 2 minutes away on foot. It’s a very unusual setting altogether. =)
So it took a tad long for me to sort through the load of photos me and Genox took from the Swiss National Day [1st of August] fireworks. But it’s finally done, and you can check out a selection here in this album.
It was a quite a lovely day, starting with a good load of BBQ and ending with possibly the most exquisite fire works I’ve ever seen up close. And I’m not putting that lightly. We were on the top of a heal in Niederwil, so that we had a good view to all the surrounding houses and farms. It seems like the people of Switzerland make it very much their personal business [and not necessarily a government responsibility, as it is often the case in Canada for instance] to make the 1st of August celebrations as shiny as possible. Basically, every single house in the vicinity had their own fireworks, some of which were really really amazing. So imagine standing on a top of heal, in the middle of a circle of fireworks, quite a few of which put the Y2K fireworks to shame. Huge colourful glow raining on you from all directions. You try to catch everything with your eyes… and more than a few times I came very close to falling down backwards… It was completely insane and truly awesome.
Wow, SinQ’s new track just took my breath away! I’ve been listening to this non-stop since morning… check it out, and if you like it make sure to visit his FB page here for more.
Don’t ask me how this happened but here comes a 2nd new ASD demo in less than a month. And honestly I like this one even better than the previous. “Spin” was just released at Assembly 2011, and so not surprisingly won 1st place. =) This is certainly one of my favourites ASD demos. Download the exe here.
I am spinning out of control Drinking my dark side on a moon patrol Dropping an anchor on a concrete floor The links are dragging me out of the door
Can I close my eyes and see? Can I disappear and be? Can I play the absentee, In this cage I built for me?
Can I stand up where I fell? Can I spiral in my shell? Can I cast a binding spell, On this winding road to hell?
I am spinning against the wall Grabbing on corners when I feel so small Give into impulse as I drop the ball Breaking the habits I cannot recall
Can I close my eyes and see? Can I disappear and be? Can I play the absentee, In this cage I built for me?
Can I stand up where I fell? Can I spiral in my shell? Can I cast a binding spell, On this winding road to hell?
I am spinning and the world is still Pointing the finger on the things I feel You find me exhausted and crawling uphill To colourful nightmares against my will
Can I close my eyes and see? Can I disappear and be? Can I play the absentee, In this cage I built for me?
Can I stand up where I fell? Can I spiral in my shell? Can I cast a binding spell, On this winding road to hell?
Can I burn my wings and fly? Can I justify a lie? Can I turn my back and cry? Can I be there when I die?
