No, this is not a post on the difference between good and evil, although I of course am obviously good and everything that opposes me is therefor clearly evil, this is a post about the difference between brilliant art and art that is anything else. I take art very liberally, I mean books, music, movies, [...]

I’ve only known you for a very, very limited amount of time. To be honest, I never thought a relationship between us could ever work. Even more so after my little liaison with your (distant) relative. Against my better judgement I decided to give it a try, and I’ve come to realize since then that [...]

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 [...]

Think alike :-) Walking on Geneva airport yesterday, I remembered that I *NEED* a watch, I’ve been going without it for about two years again, and I just keep forgetting to buy me a nice one. I found Body and soul, a self winding watch of good quality (I know someone who has used it [...]

I’m sitting in a very comfortable kitchen, capuchino maker close by, laptop with Skype to muffin decapitating boy whom I missed dearly as he left for NYC on Wednesday (and I’m only returning from Switzerland on Monday!).

I’ll admit that Muffin-Decapitating-Boy missed two more lessons than me because he had to work late , so theoreticallyI had a four hour practise head start. To my great surprise, I didn’t come in last, actually, I came in 5th! (6 points and one “place” [...]

So someone linked me to a speed typing test (also available in Dutch for those who don’t want to have to think about English spelling) Your score: 363 CPM (that is 73 WPM) Congratulations! You typed all 56 words correctly! (CPM is characters per minute and WPM is words per minute) I must admit, this [...]

I’m happy today, I helped my brother with his first linux install, he needed xmms and little things like that. Lost in Amsterdam needed a little help finding the right flag for his purpose, the world was pretty and all is well… I realised how incredibly content everything made me, and I remembered the lyrics [...]

Not that I’m claustrophobic or something, but I just realized today why there are usually mirrors in elevators… Damn, it is a very small cubicle when all the walls are covered in MDF to prevent damage from construction materials that are hauled up in there!
