Celebrated Christmas season in IJmuiden last night. Yay for Astrid throwing a girls only party at her place. Six Dutch girls, one Spaniard and me. There was lots of delicious food (Gatto, really, Dutch people I know actually serve you food instead of offering you just peanuts :) ) and wine and prosecco... Christmas decorations (red) all over the ( Read more... )

Spent the day running around arranging stuff. Kind of last minute shopping included. Surprisingly for myself within 1 hour I did manage to find 2 summer tops and additionally, ehm... I was shopping already so why not make it more worthwhile?, some pants and a skirt. Anyways, running around while still coughing and trying to coordinate people... ( Read more... )

I never celebrated Halloween - we don't have this tradition in Poland and I never got to it in the Netherlands. Till yesterday. We planned doing something for my brother's birthday this Saturday and when I found out that they have a Halloween party in Boom Chicago, we decided it would be perfect (he never dressed up as well, well since we've been ( Read more... )

This weekend was an Amsterdam Dance Event - lots of clubs took part in it organizing special, big parties promoting electronic music. On Friday night I went to Melkweg for Armada & Flamingo night where famous Dutch DJs were playing, like Matthew Dekay and Armin van Buuren. It was packed. The tickets were sold out up front (I won them, of course) ( Read more... )

One mouse is down! *victory dance* Tried out the trap a few times to figure out how to set it up in order for it to shut in a most effective way and people, it worked. I came back home in the morning today and I found out the trap overturned and sticking from underneath it was a piece of grey mass and a long tail... Yup, one dead mouse inside. ( Read more... )

It's a strange movie, there are lots of disturbing things said in it, if you think about ( Read more... )

Sometimes I play for things just to win them for friends. Seriously. So, when I saw the contest to win invitations for a premiere of Halo3 for Xbox360 with LL Cool J present, I thought, why not - I know someone who'd enjoy it. I won. The radio screwed up, however and didn't send me the tickets on time which meant I had to go there myself in the end ( Read more... )

The Diving Bell and The Butterfly - based on a true story. A chief editor of Elle in Paris has a heavy cardiovascular attack, which should have left him dead, but with the miracles of the medicine nowadays they bring him back... completely paralyzed. The only part of his body that he can move is his right eye. He learned to communicate with it and ( Read more... )

Was in Arc last night, one of the most stylish gay bars in A'dam. I really like that place, it's fancy without overdoing it, spacey, with good music and not many people smoke inside. And then you can be sure that a guy you come there with will concentrate on you. No competition, not that I mind having one. :) Actually, was asked to be sort of a ( Read more... )
