what's philips doing in a russian painting?

2005-12-06T19:17:00.000+01:00

ik vind het niet erg om achteruit te reizen,
dan kan ik langer kijken naar de dingen die voorbij gaan

people sometimes say beautiful things without knowing it. i was listening to this couple in the train. she said: if you sit there you'll go backwards. he says: i don't mind i can look longer at the things that pass by. In dutch that sentence sounds like poetry. something that hardly ever happens in this language.

eek-a-mouse was bizarre. absolutely bizar and don't know if it was good. Don't think so, really, but loved seeing it.

i hate repairmen - tomorrow will be a nasty nasty phone call to the radiator service company...

song of today - burn one down, ben harper

sun in

2005-10-09T11:33:00.000+02:00

In one blow i lost my interest in local flea markets. Note to self: only go to national ones. this really sucks. Woke up at 8, went to the flea market. first of all the whole fucking city is blocked bec of a city run. totally ridiculous. then the 'big' fleamarket turned out to be a mini junk market. and now it is sunday, can't buy paint for my house because it is sunday. did pretty much all urgent chores yesterday. feel like going back to bed!!! instead i will use this sudden ocean of free time for more sustainable actions like redoing my wardrobe.

and then there's the issue of this huge gap between august 16th and now, that's like 2 months: what happened in between?? don't know!

but before getting all depresed bec of this: not to worry: later to day: museum time and Eek-a-mouse.. bitty-bitty-bong

NOT MUCH...

2005-08-16T20:07:00.000+02:00

ah end of summer... starting to like ridiculous songs: Kylie give me one more chance - let's go out and dance blablabla but id rather do you on the backseat of my car. wow.

bored

2005-04-16T16:55:00.000+02:00

a bit of a boring week, with a highlight on wednesday

i hoipe to get real work done soon and to stay awake meanwhile, i'd say: la vida es un carnaval by celia cruz! salsa on :)

2005-04-10T18:28:00.000+02:00

it's been a while...

which is fine...

recently rediscovered 'can't stop' from the peppers. i'd like to make that the song of the 1st week of april.. i've got some new pics, maybe i'm inspired to more regurlarly post them here.. :)

monday again

2005-03-14T17:11:00.000+01:00

i tought i was about to quit... but I'm not of course. Spending the days with photoshop tutorials and waiting for application letters to be turned down (???)

Songbomb - by El Gran Silencio

monday

2005-03-07T13:10:00.000+01:00

so i'll just add a little bit of text like this - to avoid having to repost it for the 3rd time. I was thinking about Rammstein - Ohne dich, for the song of the day, but it's a bit too depressed and it's not exactly the way i feel.... It's more that there are too many things going on that i can't influence and i hate just sitting here and waiting...
I make up all these little tasks to keep myself busy.... so what would be a good song to go with this chaotic 'out of control' mood? launch suggests live 'lightning crashes'... no no no... i have to come up with sth else!!

2005-03-07T13:09:00.000+01:00

i don't get why it's not working anymore: i used to post a pic and then edit it to add a title and make the characters a little bit smaller - but the last couple of times it's not working - the picture gets 'lost'. So i'm now posting it again...

2005-03-04T13:59:00.000+01:00

i was supposed to take the train half an hour ago, but it isn't going.. so no eindhoven today

i'm a bit bored so let's take green grass of tunnel, by mum as song of the day

ow and the baby birds were yesterday still alive, but last night it frooze like 15 degrees.

trains

2005-02-28T18:27:00.000+01:00

spend the day in trains.. i saw the baby waterbirds again... one is still alive, the other was lying on it's parent's back, but not moving...

todays song: last train to Lhasa, by banco de gaia

waste of time

2005-02-25T16:56:00.000+01:00

today was a total waste of time
system of a down - toxicity

so called snow

2005-02-24T22:02:00.000+01:00

It keeps snowing the dutch way... how ennoying. I saw baby waterbirds (no ducks, the type with the red 'hair' that carry their babies on their backs) today - soo ready for spring!!! [or real winter, either way, but not this semi 'whoops it's snowing type of weather'...] i tried to make a picture, but couldn't find them anymore.

Anyway, todays song is by Snow patrol, Run

2005-02-20T18:42:00.000+01:00

such a relaxed weekend at my parents, nothing but eating and sleeping and watching brainkilling sports on tv

when i came home i read my mail and instantly lost my relaxed attitude. Note to self: don't open official letters during the weekend, there's nothing to do about it then

update

2005-02-15T14:56:00.000+01:00

I just read marie's blog and found out she just keeps on blogging. I'm impressed so i thought... ok, lets try it one more time! soo many reasons for not blogging for awhile that i won't go into details. I'll just go on and see what happens.

to finish the stories i started:

i guess the mice are dead, considering the fact i found (or better: erik found) a dead one INSIDE my computer, i don't hear them partying at night anymore and the smell of dead animal is getting less.

the beep sound is solved

and i managed to return savely from Poland

wanted: backpack carrier

2005-01-05T16:21:00.000+01:00

there's a huge backpack standing in my room - dying to go on holidays!! It's a bit heavy so I'm looking for a volunteer to carry it... anyone???

I think I managed to organize everything: no more problems with the social aid service, I hope. The repairmen are moving closer to locating the source of the beeping. Did I mention that for more than a week there's a beeping sound every 2 minutes? Day and night: beep beep beep. Good thing is that i don't hear it anymore, sometimes...

Sooo I packed my things, finished my presents :D and cleaned my room as much as possible (ahum) I did do my dishes, which is nice for if I'm back in 2 weeks!
the only thing I'm now doubting about: do I bring my huge lense with me, will I miss it if I don't? It's insane (is it?) to bring 3 camera and 2 different lenses. I'll bring the holga for practicing, the colorsplash for partying, which I hope I will do a little and then there's the camera for the sightseeing pictures. With or without fish eye... I think I'll go for the small lense with fish eye... who needs a 210 mm lense anyway???

oe and have I got some big news: Lonneke and Janneke are back in the country after sooo many weeks!! welcome back girls! see you in 2 weeks!

this is not interesting :)
time to cook!

the broken tea egg...

2005-01-04T15:04:00.000+01:00

A couple of months ago I bought this really high quality earl grey tea in two different flavors... nooo earl grey is not just earl grey, there's lady earl grey, and orange earl grey and mild ones etc etc. I kept forgetting to buy a tea egg, but FINALLY today i bought one... and guess what...

IT'S BROKEN

Karin just nicely pointed out the humor of it: a broken tea egg!!
now i think of it: it is funny - indeed , will go back to the hema tomorrow...

right now two repairmen are attacking our fire alarm system... it's amazing: it's a huge box with buttons and little lights and everyone has a a detector in his room. I fear the day it will go off as it is about 1,5m from my head while lying in bed and the sound is ear torture. Anyway - for a week or so a small beep is going off every f*cking 2 minutes or so and finally someone is checking what's wrong with it....
let's just pray it doesn't get worse... but based on experience... it probably will

the last question of today would be:
why did nobody tell me you should write down 'graduated with honors' on a cv and why ow why ow why did it not occur to myself, to do so??? WHY??? why does somone mentioned it only 3 minutes after mailing my resume?? AAAAAAAAAARGH

ok... time to go sorting my holiday stuff... only 2 more days!

third time :|

2005-01-03T12:40:00.000+01:00

ok... this is the third time I start writing this: way too late of course, because i had wanted to write sth like: final blog in 2004, blabla but then we got visitors (thursday), I went to the beach (no internet) for the weekend and yesterday Marcin came online when I was about to start writing again... Anyway, doesn't matter....

The question of today was: am I depressed because it is monday, the first one of the new year or am i really really in the mood to make sth out of it? Although i didn't sleep much (excitement of going on holidays and stress about finding a job...) i think i go for the 2nd option. I mean: why being down just because it's monday, right?
so i finished a letter, an email and started another letter... all for finding a job, have to get used to the language and better start somewhere -right-

i now need some food.

no updates about the mouse/mice...

mice

2004-12-29T23:36:00.000+01:00

Last night. Just a few minutes before going to bed I heard something scratching and running.... A week ago I started hearing mice having the time of their life about 40 cm above my head, while in bed. Normally I'd only hear them at night, but I guess they're rapidly expanding (in family, not in size). The anti mice man had left me with some boxes of poison that should dehydrate them and and then kill them, so I took the boxes and with the help of my dear housemate Erik we managed to put the poison in a hole in the ceiling. I'm a loving and caring person, but really: I hope they die, soon!!!!

Good things that happened today (part of my 'make yourself positive attitude)
in chronological order, so don't feel offended!

1. collected my pictures with the fisheye - will scan them tomorrow and try to find out how to post pics here

2. had tea / orange juice with Sabine at the parots cafe, discussed 'having goals in life'
should get back to that topic soon!!

3. got an email from my crazy boschdijk flatmate Karin, who I miss very very much

4. made art with Marcin, who I will meet in 8 days for the first time in 9 (yes NINE years) - wiehieww exciting!

5. I now know how to play Carcassonne - liked it, better then Catan...
but still: I'm not a game person!!! enjoyed the time with housemates!

Well that should do it for today... five is a good start I suppose
time for laundry and bed

police - phone - letters - .... - ???

2004-12-28T12:03:00.000+01:00

so when I told the story about the crazy container man for the thrid time, i realized i might not have been as smart as i thought. So just to be sure, I went to the police and told my story. it was sort of snowing / raining outside - i was soaking wet when i got home. Phoned the people that empty the containers every week (not clean) and they directed me to the company of the weird container man. I now have to write a letter and everything will be fine - uhuh

I'm now writing belated thank you for being at my graduation day / happy new year, hope you had a nice xmas - cards and will do a little work on the project presentation: how exciting this day will be....

third xmas day

2004-12-27T17:00:00.000+01:00

I expected a lazy, quiet xmas this year. And it was pretty much just that, exept for the constant tiny voice that was telling me I had to go to the social service, or whatever you call that this morning at 8.45h!!! (that's a quarter to nine, that's early :) And then this woman tells me I can not apply for it as I didn't work enough days in the past 5 years... euhm... I'm a student, well was, that's why I'm here: unemployed, no study, nothing. 'we don't make the rules...' owkeee...

Went home and straight to bed

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

got up with a little more energy and used the rest of the day for 'random errands'...

got my ov - for the last 4 days that i can use it in January ... got to use it to the max

and then... i bought a new lense for my camera, so my new fish eye adapter would fit... oe I'm soo excited, the pictures looked sooo cool - should be finsihed on wednesday!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

jvckl

last thing on my mind: something happened that moved straight into my top 10 'weird things that happened to me'

The doorbell rang

I open the door

man standing there, working clothes, huge tobaco smell

starts talking at high speed

'we're from the cleaning service, we can clean all your huge garbage bins (the one in the garden) for just 7,50 a year. I need all the names of the people living here and a bank account number...'

It's cold outside - steps inside and closes the door... what the hell???

They will all be cleaned, you get anm anti bactery / smell layer... everything included for startes price of...

fgxhx

hjv vhcj

euhh... no, thanks

hgcg

tedzf

he: you can cancel within 8 days, no problem

me: well, no and also i don't know the account number of the bank, so even if my flatmates would want this, then i still can't help you. They will be back by the end of this week.

he: but for adminstrative reasons I need a bankaccount, yours is ok too - you can change...

me: no, you can call or come by, I'll ask the others, bye

and then he left

cgchh

xfhg
