Hehe.
... hehe...
Oh my god, you're fucking nuts. I kept reading the "vrouw is dood, portret is kapot" as "Frau is dead, portrait is kaput." Which is kind of what it is, actually. And every time the dog showed up it freaked me out like the bunny-suit-guy in Donnie Darko. Actually, that's exactly what I thought of.
Is the dog, like, his inner anger? And the static noise is like... representation of all of his thoughts and senses going haywire and the only focus is this inner... hate? And in his mad rampage he's like "I HATE YOU I HATE YOU *DIE DIE DIE*" and then breaks the portrait as, like, a final blow in the ending of every relation with the people he's frustrated with?
And perhaps the dog is a representation of how he feels like he's being treated. He works in a factory, obviously, what with the factory noises and such, so he's treated as a number or an animal. The weird reference to "Did you take the dog out?" is puzzling, but may only be setting up the situation for his anger to boil over once again. Why an amoeba, though? To represent insignificance? The dog could be amoebic dysentary.
"I may be an amoeba, but I can fuck you up, bitch."
I think there's a lot to be said about this. Even if I'm completely wrong, the fact that I made the parallels at all shows that there is something to be gotten out. I like the idea.

Don't hate me for being lazy and never sending your letter/present! *shrink*
I love you!
((Actually, the post office is just closed all the time.))
Nice theory? Tell me what it really is, then.

This... is the most random...est thing I've seen today. *falls onto floor in laughter even though she had no clue what was going on because she can't read dutch*
I'm that dog's biggest fan XD

I can tell you what it says!
Fabrieksgeluiden = Factory Noises
Gekraak van schommelstoel = Rocking chair creaking noise
Vrouw = Woman
Luide statische ruis = Loud static noise
Vrouw is dood, portret is kapot = Woman is dead, portrait is broken
Amoebe heeft zenuwtrek aan oog = Amoeba has nerve lines in eye
Ademhaling = Breathing (probably heavy breathing)
Hond lacht -- verroest piepend hekken = Dog laughs -- Squeaking rusty fence sound (I imagine this is like a Muttley ["Wacky Races"] laugh-- like high-pitched breathing with a closed throat)
Amoebe zit bevend in hoekje = Amoeba sits trembling in corner
Grommende en scheurende geluiden = Growling and tearing noises
I love how "Fade Out" is the only Note written in English.

That's because there is no proper Dutch term for "Fade out".
How dare you translate me.
(and where the hell are you?

Translating you was my fun little project. And I'm here! I've been on Christmas break (finally) for the past couple of days. My internet connection kept bleeping in and out at unknown, random intervals, so I decided I'd just stop the internet for a while. I'm sorry I just disappeared-- there was nothing I could do.
You know what? My friend went to a sex club while he was in Paris. Do they have those in Belgium?

I'm a bit lost here... but then again the randomness of the whole has that effect I bet. And I don't read Dutch so that won't help either. But... for some unexplainable reason I laughed and enjoyed it.
