KIT … go home and shut up.

Last night I downloaded the pilot for the new Knight Rider show. God, The Hoff must be so disappointed!   I saw in the beginning credits that he was a guest star but I just couldn’t bring myself to sit and wait for his appearance.   I lasted 30 minutes before I groaned and turned it off. I can’t even remember the …

I Think I’m One of Them

Them meaning, the Dutchies.   I know, I know… I didn’t think it would ever happened either and yes, I did check to see if monkeys are flying out of my arse.   I can’t help it though, even without trying I’m finding things I really love about this place. One of the most recent things is Marco Borsato.  I’m not sure …

A Gamer is a Gamer is a Gamer

One of the things I hated about gaming, and don’t miss in the slightest, is all the smacktalk that goes on.   When you play online games of any kind, you can’t escape the morons who use the games to make themselves feel like less of a loser and spend all their time mouthing off. I haven’t been feeling so well …

Look At My Toofers!

Harley was out to play for a while yesterday after I cleaned his cage.   He isn’t out very often in the day so I took advantage and got some pics.  Check out those little teeth!  That’s one of the cutest things about hedgies, they all look like bucktooth little nerdballs. He’s all ‘Please get me from my good side’ in …

I Love This City

Over the past few years I’ve really grown to appreciate the city I live in.   I think I’m becoming a hardcore Rotterdammer at heart.   I can understand why tourists prefer Amsterdam, as it still has more of that historical Dutch look but Rotterdam has some of that too, but with something really cool and modern mixed in. I took these …

Acer – The Shit…. or Just Shit?

Right, so I decided that since I’m a working woman who has a pretty good chance of moving on to a permanent situation (according to my colleagues), I’ve decided to buy myself something shiney and new when I get paid.   I can pay bills and all that crap later, I want satisfaction… in the material sense. So I’ve been looking …

Spring is Coming!

Although this winter hasn’t been nearly as bad for me mentally as other winters have been in the past, I’m still really excited to see signs of spring coming, like this blue sky out the window at work yesterday. The temperatures have been going up slightly and the sun is starting to show itself more and more.   I love it!  …

Part of the Crowd

Today I crashed our payroll database at work… oops!!   I won’t get into how one manages to do that but it’s not that difficult, I mean I managed to do it easily enough!   I was a bit worried when my colleague told me I had done it, but then all the girls in my department cheered and told me that …

Cold or Allergies?

After me making that post about the Tammy Cold (scroll down I can’t be arsed to link it)… this morning at 4am I woke up sneezing and blowing snot all over the place.   I had to leg it to the bathroom to get tissues, then got back in bed and sneezed my brain out for another while.   Just long enough …

Saturday Photo Hunt – Narrow

One of the things that was difficult to get used to when I moved to the Netherlands was how narrow the houses are here.  Like in this photo I took in Amsterdam in 1999. It’s easy to understand, with such a huge population in such a small space.   Over 16.5 million people in a country that is slightly less than …
