Groot Dictee der Nederlandse Taal
Laat ik eens wat in het Nederlands posten aangezien ik nu toch nog tijd over heb...
Ik heb al een paar jaartjes niet mee kunnen doen met deze beruchte dictee omdat ik altijd werkte op de momenten dat het uitgezonden werd en ik telkens vergat om de timer (tijdsschakelaar?) in te stellen. Maar gisteravond kon ik ervoor gaan zitten met mijn beste ( Read more... ) -
Way Out West
Gah, I was supposed to travel off to either Berlin or Köln/Cologne to see The Cooper Temple Clause on their VISION X-mas special tour in Germany and accepted a photo assignment to earn nice money to sponsor this trip...but by now everything's fully booked. X( (and there goes my personal goal to see TCTC 3 times in a year)

Ha, holy guacomole! I have copycats !!! Met up with the photo editor today and I thought she was teasing me but she knows me well enough she needed to proof me that and showed me the pics other wannabe photographers had sent in to the office. The stuff they used to get before I worked there was really different from the material they now get on ( Read more... ) -
'Haunted By You' - The Cooper Temple Clause
This house is abandoned
I live here alone
The rain rots the wood
Whilst the stench cheats the stone

They'll wait for the winter and hide in the snow
The walls have their memories, their stories to tell
Ghosts walk the hallways
How could you, they yell
The birds they scream and crow
And sing all the terrible secrets they ( Read more... ) -

Let's update this...
The advantage of being a Media student is at least knowing how to use videochat instead of a
stupid webcam. Combine that with voIP (finally a good reason to use that after a year) and I can communicate with the person that's worth it. Took me a while to figure this out but with some (lot) help it's working and it saves us a lot of money.

Back to The Netherlands
Back since last Wednesday, recovered from jetlag and on full speed reading 3 books and photographing a bit to keep the money flow.
Instead of breaking the 'Word bash' game record -and thus having my name, flight number and seat "eternally" recorded in the top 10 of the in-flight entertainment set of Cathay Pacific- I managed to molestate a remote ( Read more... ) -

Pffffff....My grandma's cremation and Buddhist (or Taoist?) rituals to keep her soul happy and stuff was so complex! Her children had opted for the most simple ritual ' package' which consisted about about a half day burning paper money and symbolic stuff for her life in the next world. A western coffin for her because my Mom, Auntie and Uncle ( Read more... ) -
Miscellaneous bla bla
Happy with the 2 seats (window / aisle) my mum and I thought we were quite lucky this time (erm, online booking ) as we could sit together instead of separated. But when you think it won't happen to you it will happen: a crying child in the row next to us! Goody.
And at a certain point we had to endure really creapy turbulance somewhere between ( Read more... ) -
