So mister Bill O'Reilly's biggest fear is becoming like "the Netherlands". The feeling is mutual mister Reilly, my biggest fear is becoming someone like you! An advertisment company made this very funny website about it. It's time we got back what's rightfully ours, haha!

So today was election day, after our government collapsed earlier this year. The results have been fragmented. The centre right christian party remains the biggest, labour goes down but is still second and the socialists went way up and our now the third party.

Wasn't feeling very well all week, called in sick on wednesday, and got back to work on thursday. I was still a bit shakey on friday. The last thing I wanted to do was a pingpong match, but alas.

Once again a busy weekend:

Played a pingpong match against the current no1 in our league. I played some very decent matches, but lost two out of three. I find it more fun to play very well but lose than to win a crappy game. After that I went to an eighties party. I like those once in a while, just because songs of the eighties are stuck in my ( Read more... )

...the past few weeks. Well, were to start. Time is flying by like a rollercoaster. Work has been superbusy and stressful as I'm still working on temp basis and my extension came through pretty late this time. But apart from that I'm really enjoying it.  That is somewhat of a novelty since I used to equate work with making a living, void of ( Read more... )
