I watched City of God last Saturday with Femke after having a delicious dinner ;). Very nice movie about the street criminality and gangs fighting each other in Rio de Janeiro. A very beautiful (but hard) movie with great cinematography. Definitely to be recommended!
And today I watched Hero with Boefje. I had heard it was […]

I had a nice evening today :). With four housemates (Boefje, Dees, Sas and Deirdre) we made tapas for dinner. Several kinds of nice spanish looking things… mmmmmmmmmmmm… Delicious… It didn’t look as good as in the picture on the right though :P. For once we ate in the kitchen where we put a few […]

I just got some very good news from my housemate who had been at university today. She just knocked on my door, to tell me the good news that I had passed my exam from last Monday with a 6 :D. So, unlike what I expected, I did pass, so I won’t have to redo […]

I came across this funny picture today on space.com.
It shows an astronaut in the International Space Station that let a blob of water float around, another one made a picture of it, just as it crossed the line of sight between the camera and the astronaut’s face. Thus the water formed a nice lens, showing […]

Here’s a picture of Cassiopeia that I took this summer in Germany. I had taken about 7 pictures that night, but all of them were screwed up. I don’t remember why though. I finished the roll only a month ago, so that’s why it took me so long to get this developed. As you can […]

My mother, my sister and me wanted to do something fun Saturday evening. We tried to get a fourth person to play Settlers of Catan, but we didn’t find anybody, so we thought of going to the cinemas. Turned out only ‘Der Untergang’ and ‘Closer’ were worth watching, but we weren’t really interested in those, […]

I was watching a dvd of one of my favourite tv series (Flemish police series) yesterday in my study breaks, and at one point the police chief - or whatever you call it in English - was arguing with his employees, and suddenly I heard a funny noize, as if a cell phone with a […]

Thursday afternoon… I read an email from my local gaming club in the Netherlands. “Who will be picking up who for the LAN party this Saturday?”… Wtf??? LAN party? Oh shit… I had completely forgotten abou that :-S. Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem, but I had promised my sister and my mom more than […]

I skipped the Radiative Processes exam last Friday :(. After my exam Electromagnetism 2, I had - due to my own delaying - only three days to study on it, while I certainly needed about 8 - 10, since it’s a difficult subject, partly going further with what we were thaught in Quantum Mechanics and […]

I thought I’d share a picture of my room with my friends, as well as a picture of a sunrise taken out of my room about two months ago. :)
Here’s my room:

And here’s a nice sunrise above the buildings across the street:

And if you’d like to know what my desktop looks like usually, see here. […]

**grins**
I knew it…
“Failing to make your bed in the morning may actually help keep you healthy, scientists believe.
Research suggests that while an unmade bed may look scruffy it is also unappealing to house dust mites thought to cause asthma and other allergies.
A Kingston University study discovered the bugs cannot survive in the warm, dry conditions […]

I had an exam today… Electromagnetism 2. It sounds disgusting, and it is disgusting :P. The good news is that I think I’ve raised my grade by one point compared to the last time I did this exam. The bad news is that that is still not enough to pass :(. The first time I […]

I just got word from my American S3D buddy Chris (aka Tintin), residing in Madagascar, that last Wednesday his mom mailed the settlers box that he has been working on for me :). I can’t wait till it gets here in the Netherlands! :P
Thanks again, Chris! I’ll send you the money as soon as the […]

Last Thursday Femke (housemate of mine) invited me to be her ‘brother’ in the volleyball brothers & sisters tourney that her volleyball club organised this Saturday :). People from the club were supposed to invite their brothers and sisters who can be as experienced or inexperienced at volleyball as they want, to play a tourney […]

If you want to check out more pictures of me and some very beautiful holiday pictures, check out My Photo Albums on Webshots.
There is an album with pictures from the Venus Transit from June 2004, there’s an album with a few pictures from our trip to Toscane and Umbria from summer 2002 and there are […]

It’s quarter before midnight
The last day of 2004
I’m standing alone on the roof under the last moonlight of this year
I see some early fireworks at the horizon
Wisps of clouds are passing by
Covering the brilliant stars of Orion one after another
I want some time alone because
I need to be away from the suffocating happiness and activity […]
