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!). On the table is a book, Northern lights, by Philip Pullman. Next to it, a coffee cup, my [...]

I wanted to write a post about my great weekend, my finished jeans and my awesome cabdriver Eduardo… However, nothing came of it, y’all can take a rain check, I’m too busy! ;-)

OK, I wanted lip balm, my favorite, Blistex Lip Relief Cream. So you walk into your standard drug-store, in this case, an Etos and go to the register, where they have a nice little stand with all types of lip cream imaginable to man. You can’t find yours immediately and ask if they have it [...]

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 [...]

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… don’t blog enough… Plenty that frustrates me, or excites me, or moves me… But hardly any time to sit down and blog about it… Next week I’m starting two courses, so I don’t know how much time I’ll have after, but it should be good fun, perhaps all the extra activity will give me [...]

72% Geek :-) How’s about you lot?

Last weekend was exciting to say the least… Piercing out, earring down the drain, minor nervous breakdown, MRI done, more nervous breakdown, good night’s sleep, piercing in, lovely dinner, surprisingly good movie… That just about sums it up. Other than that, I really don’t have anything to say.
