the van gogh story

one more thing that is noteworthy these days.

on the "poster days" at sfu, around two weeks ago, i bought this massive poster of van gogh's cafe terrace at night.

if you don't exactly recall it, there is a picture of it on your right-hand side. by the way, did you know that this picture will be projected in your brain's left hemisphere?

generally people looked at me as though i was a weirdo - i bought posters of paintings by van gogh, picasso and dali. well, reffering to these people i did not buy any 'cool' posters.

but back to the story. couple of days after i had bought that poster and stuck it up my concrete wall, i got a postcard from maria lisiakova who is a twin of mine. guess what was on it? yes, van gogh's cafe terrace at night. no kidding.

it said: "sending you a bit of classic, a bit of europe". funny? perhaps. coincidence? nah, definetely, not. it is either genetics, as my mum infered laughing her ass off or, as i assume, the longing to the real cafe terrace at night in a small european town...
