I managed to get a copy of all Shakespeare’s work in one book at the secondhand book store last week. It’s in English and it seems to be in a decent state, especially for the price I managed to get it for; €3.50 (convert?) Of course everyone is familiar with his work and when I [...]

I’ve been anxious for it to arrive ever since it was mailed out to be last Wednesday; the new Hanson album called The Walk. My sister and her boyfriend bought it for me for my birthday but it wouldn’t be released until February 21, 2007 (in Japan) so I had to wait for it. But [...]

I managed to get tickets to the London show yesterday!! I’m so excited. It was such a stressful few days to get the tickets, but after I got them I figured things would stress down. Not!! Today I noticed that the site I bought the tickets through is related to another ticketing site which state [...]

The past few days have been hectic again, but now it didn’t contain any grocery shopping. It actually meant not going grocery shopping. A few days ago, some Hanson concerts where announced in the UK and being the loyal fan that I am, (hey, 10 years this year!) I just wanted to go. Realizing that [...]

No, I’m not talking about this blog although I’d like to think it fits into that category . I’m talking about Superblog! (exclamation point entirely necessary). A group blog of several bored bloggers, who are made of awesome (according to Belinda) Needless to say yours truly is part of it. Because, of course, I’m made [...]

Last Saturday the Carnival started here. Which results in drunk people all around town, silly music and hilarious costumes. In that order too; because the more drunk you get the sillier the music becomes and the funnier the costumes seem. And even if you’re not drunk or halfway there it’s still a lot of fun [...]

I wrote about it before but I thought I’d do it again. Because I’m really passionate about music and feel that there is a big change needed in the music industry. So the more people know about the way a lot of bands are treated and realize what’s going on, the better. This documentary, called [...]

I really want to apologize to all the people I visit on a regular (of not daily) base and haven’t visited in the last few days. As well as to those who I ‘owe’ a visit after commenting here, or those who sent me a Valentine’s gift for my QBee Quilt and which I haven’t [...]

When my grandmother passed away we found a lot of remembrance cards from family that passed away a long time ago. It’s quiet interesting to see how they did that centuries ago. They had more than one type of remembrance card for each deceased, sometimes as many as three different ones. So going through these [...]

Usually I don’t really do these kind of things, but since it’s Amber who tagged me, I will. The game: Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or [...]

It’s strange how the most random thoughts can hit you at the weirdest times. I was watching TV tonight when a little voice in the back of my head went; Onions, Onions, Onions. And all I could think was, huh onions? Because why on earth would I think of unions on a Saturday night while [...]

Remember Cas? Well he’s not nearly as noisy as he is messy.. When I turn off the light to go to bed he gets silent and he doesn’t start singing again until around 8.30 AM (the first day it was 7.30 AM but for the last few days it has been later than that!) I [...]

Last November we had elections in The Netherlands to chose a new cabinet, after which a new government would be appointed. I didn’t doubt for a second to use my right to vote, even though voting day was the day my grandmother passed away. Something like your right to vote is too important to let [...]

Today is my mom’s birthday, and I think it will be a little weird for her. This is the first year she celebrated her birthday while both her daughters are no longer living at home and therefor will be ‘visiting’. Surely we’re always home when my sister and I are at my parents but it [...]

Today was eventful. I wanted to return visits today but I only got a few of them done. The reason for this? Well, I helped a guy move into my apartment today. His name is Cas (pronounced as cast without the t) and he’s a pretty calm guy, originally from Australia. I think you could [...]

As said in my previous post; yesterday was my birthday AND Super Bowl Sunday. I had a great day, it was the first time celebrating my birthday in my own place but it was all good. I had enough cake and other things, I even have a lot of it left. And I was worried [...]

Today is the first day of the Blogathon 2007, which is organized by Jenny from Moosh. As you can see I’m participating in the blogathon and will aim to blog every day. Even if it means I have to write something completely irrelevant and random (which is not very uncommon is it?!) For today I’ll [...]
