My friend from the HR&O, Loesje, had to uphold her thesis on her Lutetium-DOTA research and foundings yesterday.
I wasn't able to witness the event, since I was discussing my work for the Icons assignment at the KABK.
As soon as I was done, I rushed to Rotterdam to congratulate her (I had no doubt in my mind that she had succeeded) and have some drinks.
It was nice to see some of the people that I used to be in the class with when I was studying chemistry, about 4 years ago (I had not seen them since then).
I also met a nice friend of Loesje, with whom I had a very interesting discussion on phylosophy, culture, religion, science, art... the usual stuff, heh.
He appeared the be the ex-boyfriend of Merel, a girl that used to be in my class for a while, at the Royal Academy of Arts.
It's a small world.
After we had some drinks, Loesje, Yvonne and Maarten that used to be in my class, and her friend that I had newly met, went to Loesje's new appartment. The place was really nice, spacey and well decorated. We ate pizza, drank Bacardi, played with her old Barbies, and listened to the Neptunes. After a while, Yvonne left, but the rest of us stayed and started playing classic games like Jenga, Snakes and Ladders, and Mikado. Meanwhile, we listened to the Trainspotting soundtrack, surf rock, and other stuff, while drinking more Bacardi.
I got home around 5 in the morning today. I got out of bed around 7PM, and had dinner right away. That's the life.
I'm anxious to see the results of the photos I have made. I made some kick-ass photos of a hearse that was parked in a garage with artificial, spooky white light that you could look upon from the balcony of Loesje's apartment. If they come out right, I might very well be able to use them for the Dood project at the Royal Academy, of which the objective is to create photographic and non-photographic images that communicate death.
