(november 2001) #3 - opruimen (december 2001) wake also published in 'ijskast'. the only connection between the pieces is that they all have been written during a night i just couldn't sleep (the dutch word 'wake' means vigil). #1 - reminisce (september 2000) #2 - v-v-v-ver-liehiefd (october 2000) #3 - slapeloos (november 2000) #4 - dagdromen (december 2000) #5 - inferno (january 2001) #6 - de 8760 uur van cannes (february 2001) #7 - les antipodes (march 2001) #8 - marte meo (april 2001) #9 - stenenstapelaars (april 2001) #10 - tussen slapen (may 2001) duo written together with elise eerenberg, representing a whole new experience in writing for me. when we're writing together, we're discussing every sentence and even the single words, which is very different from how i usually write. it's great! #1 - duo (november 2000) #2 - een handleiding voor het schrijven van duostukjes (december 2000) psy has been published in the magazine of particolarte (amsterdam student art-society), 'ijskast'. it is about the deeper and darker parts of a romantic human mind (mine). #0 - gezocht: gefrustreerd romanticus (october 1999) #1 - stil papier: de maagd en de hoer (november 1999) #2 - murphy's millenniumfeest (december 1999) #3 - van hogere sferen, nieuwe werelden en verloren tijd (1) (january 2000) #4 - van hogere sferen, nieuwe werelden en verloren tijd (2) (february 2000) #5 - azuurblauwe inkt (march 2000) #6 - de gevaren des tijds (of: zinloos gebeld, een studie der tijdsgeest) (april 2000) #7 - de teloorgang van de waarheid (may 2000) #8 - gevonden: gefrustreerd romanticus (june 2000) headline has been published in a schoolpaper called 'commitment' of which i was chief editor from november 1996 until june 1998. nine issues have been published, which describe things that happen on schools and (again) my personal frustrations. #1 - het kerstgevoel (november 1996) #2 - never advertise your total lack of commitment (january 1997) #3 - reality is the strange kind of thing that doesn't go away when you stop believing in it (may 1997) #4 - murphy (june 1997) #5 - weer weer (september 1997) #6 - een dag uit het leven van mij (1) (november 1997) #7 - sommige mensen leren het nooit (december 1997) #8 - een dag uit het leven van mij (2) (march 1998) #9 - alles voorbij (june 1998) en (d)ergelijke has been published in 1994 and 1995 in a schoolpaper i started called 'kreesie' (dutch fonetic transcription of 'crazy'). both of them describe common frustrations. contrary to popular belief, though, they were not numbered at the time, explaining the absence of... well, numbers. fax (november 1994) toiletmuziek: snel doortrekken svp!
