Bussiness Idea

Many many months ago, it may even be years, we* had the brilliant brilliant bussiness idea of getting paid to 'fake' somebody's social networking. Apparently it's not such a bad idea: click here.

GF- Final Day

And I was there! But alas not a single photo to prove it because the cable for my digital camera only arrived today :-(

Ah.

Sigh.

What can I say? I loved it. Among many many many things I could not have imagined a year ago, yesterday was a day I can hardly believe having happened even still. (< This cannot be a correct English sentence, please correct me. I need your attention.)

I took a half-day of sick leave to spend an afternoon drinking my new favourite beer at the Sint-Veerle Square watching/listening to a coverband-wannabe-cabaret artists of such low level the horror I felt might have made me sick hadn't I been pretending to be sick in the first place.

And don't you think I was a good girl and went home straight afterwards. I had a lovely supper at a Turkisch restaurant, helped a friend of a friend finish his drinking coupons at Bataclan III, went to Baudelo park and swung my hips for a good half hour.

Had I not realised I forgot my keys IN the house when I was nearly at the house, the above might have made for a pretty nice day in the life of M.

Since I missed a little celebratory up-date to mark the 100th post. How about some puppies?

The Strangest Thing

I'm learning how to be 'a man'.

This includes:
- smoking
- drinking beer
- burping
- farting at inappropriate moments
- commenting on women
- talking about cars


I have been told that I'm pretty cute for a guy. I guess that's a compliment to cherish for life.

National Holiday

179 years ago Belgium became an independent country. Had I had the opportunity I might have burst out into song, by preference our natinal anthem.




Or as Yves Leterme would have it;

On top

I'm not at the top yet. Not by far. But ever since climbing to the top of the St- Bavo Cathedral, I feel like I might get there, some day.

The Blinding Light

My eyes hurt.

I never knew this could bother me so much. but it is bothersome, especially since I have yet another two hours to go sitting in front and working behind *what I suspect to be the cause of the problem.

The computer. Or else I'm not sleeping enough.

*It may be clear that I'm not moving seats for this to be an entirely accurate sentence.

Does not compute

Of all the things I'd thought I'd never say, the following might not even have been on the list for reasons of inconceivability, but...

"I wish there were more guys just like you"


Editors note: This was once again purposely and sufficiently vague so as to keep most people wondering. I can't say more, because it does simply not compute.

Aloha!

Your Hawaiian Name Is: Kiana Iolana
Mahalo!


That's good to know I suppose.

Ominous Cake

Sometimes you do things, take action without there being a direct need or cause. And then a few moments later it seems your actions were exactly what needed to be done. (Vague vague vague)

For example; although I felt quite well when I came home yesterday, I baked. For no apparent reason. But the reason presented itself a few hours later and though I have learned to cope with this specific type of bad news*, I was still very happy to have nutritional comfort too.


Left-Over Muesli Cake

- one reasonably sized jar of your favourite jam
- 2 or 3 jars of selfrising flour
- 4 small eggs (or 3 big ones)
- 1 jars of muesli or crushed cornflakes
- a spoonful of rosewater


Mix all ingrediënts. Poor in buttered and floured oven-proof vessel. Heat at 180°C for about 35 minutes.


Enjoy with chocolate sauce.


* If you don't know what this means, then you don't need to know.

Quote #33

I couldn't agree more.
The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as
simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do
something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today.
- Nolan Bushnell

M <3 OOTS

I have, for a very long time now, been a tremendous Order of the Stick-fan. For a short while I have felt though that the story dwindled too far or that the puns weren't as good as they used to be.

As of today however I will never again question his genius. Click whatever link you like to know the reason there-off.

I <3 you

I heart you. Oh yes I do.

I heart you, you , you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you*, you, and you. All of you. And don't ask why I say '<3'.

The word 'like' does not do you justice. The word 'love' is overused and hence meaningless. And you do mean a lot to me.


*I do not long for you, I do not lust for you, I don't go mad with desire for you, I don't need or want you but you have a place in my heart.

Out of FaceBook

I've announced via the proper channels that I will neither be checking nor updating my FaceBook for the next two days. The reason is I lost a bet. The precise circomstances of this bet, are best kept secret.

But it may be said; I'm not amused. Damn you horny horny dogs!
