Evil scheming (or just finding a place to live)

Monday, August 25th, 2008

My friend Bram and me have been planning to move for a while now. Not like moving in with each other, just in the same area if that's possible. As soon as I get a stable income we can put such plans into action, and since that won't take too ...

Dead Can Dance

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Whenever I want to completely get lost in dreams, Dead Can Dance is very nice music to play. This is one of my favourite songs (although there are other jewels too). [audio:the_spiders_stratagem.mp3] (See post to listen to audio)

Home is where the food and pettings are

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Wow, some things are too good to be true. Our big (no, huge) tomcat Yoda just came back home after he ran away about two months ago. I only saw a glimpse of him two weeks after that, but he just ran off again. We thought he was lost forever. ...

Tumbleweed is rolling by

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

My blog has been silent for too long, but I've been working too much and my thoughts are one scrambled mess. I did a number of other things though, including visiting the Indian Summer Festival with Faragon. Expect a nice review of it soon, it was much fun and I ...

Wii replaced

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

As many of you might know because I only whined about it a million times, my Wii broke about 3 weeks ago. It wouldn't go past the starting screen, and if it ever tried, the system would hang after that. I doubted which way I should go: send the Wii ...

I has a jay oh bee!

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

I haven't had the time to write a post about it before since the whole thing went so incredibly fast, but by now I've had my first working week as a junior translator at IBM. Last week I got an e-mail on tuesday, in which my boss at TechText told ...

When you wake up and feel like deleting stuff, stay in bed

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

So I felt like deleting lots of stuff, or something. Or I just didn't think about it when I accidentally deleted wilgje.net from my domains list on GoDaddy (thank heavens that they fixed that fast for me, or I would have been unable to blog this!). Or when I deleted ...

Speech therapy

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

It's been a bit quiet here, but no worries: two book reviews are on their way. I just need to refine them somewhat. In the mean time life has been a bit chaotic for me. My former speech therapist, whom I'd been seeing since I was eleven, referred me to ...

MMVIII

Happy new year people, animals and trees out there :) Oh and this is what it looks like when you set approximately 172 sparklers ('sterretjes') on fire: ^_^

Missing out on all the good stuff

Monday, November 19th, 2007

A few weeks ago I started reading Asimov, and I found out I should have done that ages ago. The guy doesn't just write a bit about robots, he's a genius. However, that is precisely the problem: whenever somebody tells me some artist, book, movie, album or song is genious, ...
