  • It’s me and a set of keys

    During the week-that-never-was (i.e. Hell Week Version N), our flat Bora saw a lot of friends come and go to relax and/or to study. One of those days the resident keyboard was whipped out. And then after everyone left, I put myself to the task of playing in my natural mediocre fashion. I can only play maybe…

  • A study break featuring 1D

    Less of a book I’m in love with and more of a constant revelation (that forces me to remain in love), Hamlet is a complex work with copious amounts of intrigue, terror, sword fights and puns.
