Looks like I can hang my laundry outside to dry
Can't believe it has been over a week since I posted. I really shouldn't be pissy about losing flisters to Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter, if I don't even make an effort to reach out myself here on LiveJournal. I had meant to do an update yesterday, but I fell asleep on the couch. I guess work and life had been more exhausting than I'd like to admit.
Am in a bitching mood and to avoid saying things I'll regret later, I'm once again going to let photos do the talking. With additonal personal comments on the side;) Here are pictures of beautiful stuff I saw and experienced in the past few days. (I finally sorted out my Xmas cards! Go me:)
Thursday March 3
Mmmmm, a Bosche Bol. Had a delicious dinner at my mom's and then we went to see The King's Speech in the Arthouse. Great evening:)
On Saturday Mom and I saw Les Amours Imaginaires, a Canadian film about a twentysomething boy and girl who fall for the same guy. Highly recommended for the massive amount of passive aggressiveness; funny and painful:)
Sunday March 6
Finally sorted out my Xmas cards. Ever since university (when I started living on my own;) I kept scrapbooks of all my cards. These days it takes years before a book is filled, since most people nowadays only sent cards for Xmas/New Year's. But it looks like I'm gonna need another book at the end of 2011:)
I was doing the dishes at one end of the kitchen when two bowls decided to kill themselves. The glass one crashed in a million pieces all over the floor and I was trapped on my socks. Luckily I could reach for a sweeper and get out of the kitchen without cutting my feet.
I gave the bowls that are left behind a chance to say goodbye to the remains of their partners.
After that disaster I found comfort at my mom's house, where brotherdearest and the other brother, his wife and my nephew Ruben were gathered for good talks, food and pooping (apparently my lap feels like the best toiletseat EVER: that kid has still got a lot to learn *glares*) Good weekend after all.
Wednesday March 10
I couldn't decide which shot I liked best, so I'm posting both:
The by now well known view of the Dedemsvaart from the bridge I cross to get to the busstop. I love how the sunbeams radiate from behind the clouds.
I like this one for the bird flying through from the left; it makes the huge clouds look even more impressive.
Thursday March 11
Went to cityhall to get my renewed driver's license. Did you know I am also allowed to ride a moped? Heh. Probably should avoid that as much as a car (I have only driven a couple of times when I got my license over fifteen (twenty?) years ago...). I'm happy to keep riding my bike, even if I had to spent over an hour cycling from the busstop to cityhall and on to the supermarket and home;)
A close up of that piece of art on the roof. I love the design of a light in the shape of a lamp:)
Friday March 12
Hi! It's me at the busstop:) Look at my long legs. *grins*
Cycling home from the busstop in Z. I had to stop and take some pictures of the patterns in the sky.
The moon!
Okay, last one (I have more on request though;)
And finally: a summary of the week. From left to right (top to bottom)
Winq = my favorite magazine. FYI: "Piemelpraat" = Penistalk;)
Drivers' License (used to be a long piece of papier, now it's creditcard style)
Life DVD box was a present for opening a new saving's account.
New book Ons Derde Lichaam (will hopefully post review of related book soon)
HUGE bar of chocolate (bought for the design of the wrapping, honest)
Baby Ruben in his bear-suit, MOST ADORABLE BABY EVER.
Surprise egg + Card from mom
New underwear (my favorite knickers now come in new colours, I hope to find a purple one in my size next week)
See. My life ain't that bad. It sucks that I let myself get bitter and disappointed about things I have no control over. Like the recent lack of response to the Nick/Greg classic scenes I post every Tuesday *pouts*. Seriously: if there are any CSI fangirls left: I'd love for you to come over and reminisce. I miss the good old days of squee.
I know the world is on fire, but it really should go without saying that this bothers me. This LJ and my blog will always mostly be a place for selfish woe and escapism.
Obviously I'm with Brendon on the issue of disaster.
