what a nice long weekend

This weekend was great! Not only (but surely partyly due to) because of the Beyer Dynamic Tesla I that i received friday. First the other part: My family!

Saturday i met my brother Niels in Rotterdam, he and his family were visiting the netherlands the last week; being the total tourist by visiting de efteling, de keukenhof and de euromast to name a few. He's been living in Madrid for the last few years and I visited him last year. This time we all got together at my moms house in Rotterdam. He brought his kids with him, both are so adorable and so Immink and both will celebrate their birthdays soon so I got them both a small gift, they seemed to like it. They found a dogtag with my name on it but both read other names on the tag ofcourse, so next time it spells L.u.c.i.e.n. i can read both A.l.e.x. or E.l.e.n.a. and get away with it ;)

We went to dinner and their we met my other brother, Vincent and his wife; too bad their children weren't there but man ,we had a blast! Being together with my brothers really made it a wonderfull evening, I saw my mom was totally shining and being so proud of what we've all become (yes she's even proud of me ffs :P) but like Nelly Furtado sang: all good things come to an end and so did that evening. They're back in Madrid and Tilburg I'm back in amersfoort.

For one that never likes to celebrate anything that involves me I surpised myself by saying everyone was invited to visit me the 24th when I do nothing that concerns by birthday. Family is a wonderfull thing and i must really do more with them.

The rest of the weekend i played some wow, slept a lot, drank beer and been listening to the Beyer Dynamic Tesla I. What a great headphone! I've been listening to the Ultrasone Edition 8 (also a mighty good headphone) before and they are 2 completely different beasts while both being in the top tier of dynamic headphones. The closed back Edition 8 sounds rich and full with a killer bass the Tesla 1 is open and fresh and surpised me how neutral they are.

Neutral? Yes, when you get yourself looking behind yourself because you hear a sound of which you think is outside your head means the headphones have a wide and most notable a neutral soundstage. While i do have to get used to having an open soundsystem again (turn of the TV or it will annoy you) for now I do believe they suit my listening needs more then the Edition 8; but in the end time will tell. I won't sell either of them cause they are just so good (yes that leaves me with 4 headphones with a price > €1000,- but I don't care).

Coming week i have to work and will receive my new phone the HTC Desire (hopefully). Next week I'm revamping my living room and study with some new colours and furniture, Since I have to move a lot around this website could be offline from time to time, but it will be worth it (for me :P)
