My holiday has finally started (actually, it did last week, but I caught a fever): I have finished my Master's thesis, which was the last thing I had to complete for my Master's degree (pfew). Unfortunately, Liselotte has to finish a paper within a short time, so we had to postpone travel plans until the Christmas holiday. Things I am planning to do:

  • Late spring cleaning.
  • Catch up with the growing stack of albums I recently bought or got (Lumpy Gravy/Roxy & Elsewhere/One size fits all by Zappa, Trout mask replica by Beefheart, The Jewels/Grundstück by Einstürzende Neubauten, Modern Guilt by Beck, Double nickels on a dime by The Minutemen).
  • Maybe visit some concerts at the Noorderzon festival.
  • Continue my quest for regular climbing (mostly back to two times a week now).
  • Read the C++ GUI Programming with Qt4 book (I liked the Qt3 book).

Today I bought a new pair of climbing shoes. My previous pair was almost three years old, and it had not so nice holes. I'll snap a picture of both pairs ;). While I was at it I also bought 16 packets of chalk, oughta be enought for the next year :).
