🌟 New Job
The last months I've been busy looking for a new job. Unfortunately, this takes me quite a lot of energy, so I haven't created as much as I would like. But this month I've found a job in Utrecht! Starting this December, I will work at Way2Web as a (full-stack) developer.
I think we're a good match and I’m looking forward to this new challenge in a place where I can thrive better.
Unfortunately, this means I have to get a car (public transport takes too long for a daily commute), so now I’m looking to buy an efficient used car.
🎵 HAIM - Now I’m In It
HAIM just released this new single and accompanying video clip, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. It’s so good! It’s about depression, so it hits home for me (and probably for you too if you’ve had one or someone close to you).
I hope this helps anyone who is in it right now ❤
🏃 Half Marathon
Last month I ran a half marathon at the Hoge Veluwe Loop (in a national park), for which I trained months to get under 1 hour and 40 minutes. I achieved my goal with 1:38:47 and improved my PR by 4 minutes! It rained a lot, it was cold, and I had to go deep in the end, but I succeeded!
Now I’m training to run a 5K under 21 minutes — so more speed-oriented, which I like.
🎶 Angel Olsen - All Mirrors (Album)
Angel Olsen has released her new album All Mirrors on October 4th, and it’s a contender for album of the year! All songs are good, but these are my favorites: All Mirrors, What It Is, Summer & Chance.
🤠 Why Sergio Leone Played Music On Set
Another video essay by the brilliant Nerdwriter. Did you know Sergio Leone played music on the set? Interesting, and it features one of my favorite films: Once Upon A Time In The West.
✨ Brightest Stars
I’ve updated my Brightest Stars playlist with some new favorites:
- Angel Olsen - What It Is
- Angel Olsen - Summer
- Angel Olsen - Chance
- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Bright Horses
- Eefje de Visser - Bitterzoet

Also check out my New Discoveries playlist which I update more regularly with music I like (but not necessarily my absolute favorite songs).
