I think we adopted a new member of the family.
Poor thing was under a neighbors porch for 3 days, whining continuously, all day, and all night.
Went right to Stephen. Nobody else could approach it.

KITTY!
oh my GOD so adorable :)
Took my car in for service. Scheduled the oil change on Tuesday , and the oil light came on today on the way out there. Can't get any more spot on than that :up:
35,000 miles, over 4 years, so not bad at all. Required a few extra "services" which of course are always overpriced at the dealership, but I managed to make a deal to replace some cosmectic chrome that had been bumped or stripped a couple of years ago, for free. In exchange for getting the work done at the dealership. So I think I made out pretty good. Place is a Caddy joint now, and its the darnest thing seeing a waiting room of old white people and tatted-up black guys conversing like it was Sunday brunch. :up:
Man cave... I am sitting here sipping a beer, listening to music, tinkering with my bike, playing 'puter games and smurfing the web in my very own man-cave and I couldn't give a rats arse what is going on anywhere else. :)
In other news, local police have begun investigating increased quantities of ecstacy hitting the streets.Quote:

It really was a blast. Because a short film a friend of mine directed, and I was the producer/production manager, I got free tickets to the opening film (which was awesome), the reception afterward (drank way too much cava..), and a pass that granted free access to pretty much all films :D Saw 6 feature films :) Our short film was shown in a section with 9 other short films, all from students at Belgian film academies. My friend's school can be pleased: 5/10 were from their school. The quality of the films surprised me, they were all excellent! (though one in particular was way too 'artsy' for me and didn't really seem to have a story - but it was well made and had beautiful shots). Ours was well received by the public, and one of the other directors reckons the prize will be either our film, or one other :D Personally I think it will go to the other one though - it was also well made, a cute story, and heart-warming. Then again, the quality of all films was excellent, so it could really be any of the films, except for 2 or 3 that don't seem to stand a chance. Really depends what the jury likes and values. Would be cool if we win, not only because of the €2000 that comes with it :D
Had a show with my band inbetween too, which was pretty cool as well. Tiny venue, crap sound, but fun. And on sunday there was another viewing of our film, together with a bunch of other student shorts (which were fun as well, though less good as ours of course ;) ), and that made us €200 which is nice as well.
Nice to hear :) Sorry I didn't get around to giving tips of what to do/visit. What did you see and do?Quote:

Although it's a sad reason she is here, a really special friend has been here for a couple days. She went home tonight but will be back either Thursday or Sunday! The happy part is that she and I have actually gotten to spend some time together, doing nothing but talking! :D I made dinner for her Monday night, and she stayed until something like 3AM! "They" say that if you have a friend that you don't see for years, but when you do get to see them, it's like they never left! Well, that's Von and I! We hadn't seen or talked to each other, except on Facebook, for almost 7 years, yet when she walked in, it was just like we picked up on a conversation that was interrupted for a bathroom break! :)
It was fabulous, we both had a great time.Quote:

Did one of the historic canal walks starting along the Oudesijds Voorburgwal, looked around the Bloemenmarkt (and picked up some huge Amaryllis bulbs which we've planted back here). Didn't make it to the Museumplein which I'd wanted to, but it was too rainy.
So many fucking bikes! Bikes lying everywhere! I understand from the locals it's a bit of a problem, and the council are collecting up to 15,000 abandoned bikes annually, but geez! :bulb:
Extremely impressed with Schiphol too. Now that's an airport.
Oh, and drank some Kwak in a lively little bar one night!

Kwak :heart: ! Glasses are a bitch to clean, though :(
What's so special about Schiphol?
There I am thinking your facial growth suddenly got eyes BJ. Cute Kitteh though :up:!
I visited my EMT friend who was in a nasty ambulance rollover last week at the hospital last night. Despite her shattered left hip and broken right pelvis, she was in good spirits and we spent a lot of time joking and laughing. Looking forward to her potential release to come home later today. :)
I obtained a reflux condenser (a fairly good Allihn condenser), brand new (well, actually, it's older than me but it's never been used) for free! Those things cost a fortune in glassware store.
Only one piece remains till my masterpiece is complete! *insane laughter*
I was one of the crazy ones who braced the terrible heat and mass crowds today as Queen Elizabeth made an appearance in Brisbane :D
Ok so you couldn't exactly see her in my lame attempt at a video :p but I thought it was 'cool' to see the Queen in real life.
Yeah, I think the Queen (and seeing her in RL) is pretty cool as well. :) I like monarchy and such things, despite supporting social progression and technologically-supported evolution.
My great-great-great-grand boss is Queen's husband, actually. Prince Phillip.
Yeah, anyway she's still the head of state of this country so may as well :)
Scarlett is 2 today. Been a crazy couple of years full of having my mind blown. Including today when she woke me up with a peace sign and "I'm two".
Happy Birthday Scarlett! She and I have the same birthday!
Also, random blurp: I noticed that the color Scarlet is actually in my Crayola 24 pack I bought last year. Weird combinations of classic colors and new ones in that box!
Congratulations to both of you :)
'ppy belated birthday Cat.

Been called in for a second interview, with one of the Partners. :)

I'm going to London on Friday and Saturday as my birthday treat. Me! In London! The City!
I don't "do" London. Big cities scare me; but I'm looking forward to it this time. Going to the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and going to "see a show". No idea what show - it's a surprise!
Seeing gogodaddypop is making me happy right now.
I hope you go to see Jersey Boys, absolutely fantastic show and a nice theatre. However, so are most of the shows but let us know which one you went to. :)Quote:

Shameless plug for my Alma Mater (Indiana University). Great pride and joy that one of the main forces behind the expansion of Medical Clinical Education (and Clerkship) is my ex-brother-in-law. He's one of the Good Guys. :heart:
