I have cleaned up my apartment, that is to say, my bedroom is a semi mess, but that’s just because of the amount of unfolded laundry, should only take me one evening to sort that out as well (probably tomorrow night, as tonight is the last sunny evening in a while)
I have had two people [...]

I have just decided that I’ll throw my life around.
I’ll clean up my apartment, starting tonight.
I’m going to entertain people at my place more often again, I loved doing that, and I just never get around to it anymore.
I might change the setup of the living room.
I might close off the space between the living [...]

Sometimes you have one of those days, where you just suddenly realize what you want to do about something, a bit of inspiration here, a little bit of time there, and before you know it, nothing comes of any of your good plans to do one thing or another and you’re working away on something [...]

You cannot perceive beauty but with a serene mind.
– Henry David Thoreau
I pondered on that for a little while.
I just realized that my life is so good right now, it’s the little things that make you see it. Someone was wining on IRC tonight, like this person had been doing all week, and I remembered [...]

This morning, as I was walking Jael, the world looked like a fairy-tale land, all the grass and fall leaves were frosted over, and each individual strand of grass made me think of elvish popsicles…

I like the amount of cigarettes not smoked :-) And the amount of money saved of course ;-) It’s incredible to think I spent about a hundred Eu a month on smoking…

We have all, the time in the world
Time enough for life
To unfold
All the prescious things
Love has in store
It’s funny how much time one can have on ones hands, and the thoughts that enfold from that. Thinking about that, and the lyrics to the song “We have all the time in the world”, a feather fell [...]

I wonder if it’s possible to have an IM overdose. Right now, I’ve had it with all the fast media.
If someone needs me, I’ll be available over phone, during office hours. And via email.
Let’s see how long I last, I can clearly remember my last week without Internet access, it was in Switzerland, with rvs. [...]

We have a saying in Dutch, “Jantje lacht, Jantje huilt”. It basically says that a person is bipolar ;-) No, honestly, it says that someone switches between being (very) happy and (very) sad easily and fast.
I’ve been feeling like that lately. I’m trying very hard to think positive, and not to be to down about [...]
