P!NK, BABY!!

Back in May, my friend Penny got me a ticket to see P!NK for my birthday.  I was SO excited but it seemed like it was ages away at the time.  May to December, that’s a long time to wait!  It got here in a flash though and I sat here yesterday saying “I can’t believe it’s P!NK day!!”. Penny …

To Glee or Not To Glee

I’ve now watched a full 11 episodes of Glee, and I’m perplexed.  Do I like it?  Do I hate it?  I can’t figure it out!  It’s a bit of both…  I want to love it but all the little things that bug me keep piling up and putting me off.  It’s like when you meet a new guy and he …

Gag Me!

Actually, no… don’t! A week from today I have my 2nd appointment for a Gastroscopy, not fun.  It goes a little something like this… I just had it done on the 18th, and you’d think once would be enough but please… this is me we’re taking about.  It goes without saying that my body will play evil tricks on me …

Love Opera?

So does Bailey! … or maybe he doesn’t, it’s kind of hard to tell. He also does this with choir music, fire engines and the monthly Monday at 12pm city alarm.  Xander took this video last night while I was watching the end of Becoming Jane during a scene at the Opera.  We’ve tried so many time to catch him …

Things I Love Today

Today I am in the best mood.  I’m not sure why, considering I was dragged out of a dead sleep by the cramps from hell… which ordinarily would leave me in a positively foul mood, but I won’t question it! It’s a dark, grey, rainy and dreary day today in the Netherlands and instead of feeling sad and blue I …

A Sweet Proposal

I just got back from dropping my mother off at the airport.  I’m a bit down and I miss her already but I’ve learned over the years that if I let myself wallow I can sometimes not drag myself back out, so I try to keep myself occupied until it passes.   When I got home I checked my RSS feed …

The Guild

  I may very well be the last gamer on the planet to hear about these people, but I feel the need to share… just in case there’s someone more out of the loop than I am. The Guild are a group of gamers who came together to make their own web-based show about five people who belong to a …

Project Fatass Heads into Winter

Check it out, it’s Michal Keach again!  Still no idea who he is, but he’s still serving a purpose for me.   For the 2nd time in the past 3 years I am once again down THIRTY POUNDS (14 kilos / 2.1 stones)!!  Well, 33 lbs as of today, but 30 lbs as of my last weigh in on Monday.  So …

Have I Mentioned That I Love Autumn?

Hrmm I think I may have… perhaps once or twice. Yeah, I definitely have!  LOADS! Yesterday was the first day of Autumn here in the Netherlands and what a great summer we’ve had!  Normally, I spend my autumn posts talking about what I love about the autumn but I’m pretty sure I’ve done that to death and you get the …
