Links, updates and some smelly person

5 may 2010

With an efficiency I think surprised us all, I've managed to add some extra features to the blog. Nothing too fancy or anything, but you may have noticed there is now a Facebook button, a Digg button and a Stumbleupon button. If you feel the need to use these, well, awesome. If you don't then I'll have to seriously re-evaluate my life. (Please use them, I've come to realise that life re-evaluation is a drawn out and painful process much likened to sawing off a limb with a spoon and I really don't want to go through that again, no matter how well polished the silverware may be).

So, back to blogging. Had to stay a little later in Antwerp last night to wait (with Bert) for Fleur to get back from her filming. Think she was filming youthful women frolicking around or something (I'm not actually joking). In any case when she did get back we decided to go for dinner at this really good place just around the corner from work, at Berts recommendation.
A few beautiful words for you: "all you can eat ribs." They were actually really good as well. Juicy, meaty, saucy and just generally magnificent. (ignore possible sexual references in that last sentence, for a change it really wasn't intentional)  I did however, make sweet, sweet love to those ribs... Emotionally speaking.

I'm pretty excited about going back to Paris this weekend. It's going to be with the exchange students who are on the school based program here. I've never met any of them before so it should be interesting, especially considering that none of the volunteers are going at all. Considering they're all on the school-based program, their Dutch is probably reasonable by now so I have a feeling I'm going to look a little stupid (more than usual). I'm sure it'll be cool though. Busy to the max.

Anyway, here's a stupid game for you play if you wish. Its about a troublesome cat who encounters some problems in its life. And you have to create the problems. Sounds like fun right? Well its actually a pretty mediocre time waster. But play it anyway.

Okay, this game is hilariously disgusting/weird. It's a sex ed game from England. Check it out, it'll make you cringe/chuckle. You don't have to finish the game, just play it for a bit to get the general idea. Make sure you get some questions wrong as well as right, both produce interesting effects.  God, the things people do to educate others about sex. What...um.. heroes?

I would be having my Dutch lesson today, but they finished last week. I'm actually kinda sad about this because it means I won't get to see the other volunteers nearly as much. Which really sucks. It was a nice break in the week as well. I guess I'll have to occupy my mind with other things. Work, complicating my life in frustrating ways, working on the blog etc etc.

Oh yes, yesterday someone smelled quite bad on the train. I was somewhat uncomfortable.
That is all

Update

4 may 2010

This is more of an update blog than my usual rambling blog due to a healthy mix of laziness and lack of time. 

The train was 30mins late this morning. God knows why. Or maybe he doesn't. Not sure if they let him/her know about that kinda thing.

Karen says I should acknowledge that I'm her bitch. She wants me to go buy her a diet coke. If she asked for a normal coke I would probably consider it. I just don't see the point in drinking diet coke. I mean if you're going to drink something bad, at least do it in the tastiest way possible right?

I've been trying to change some things on my blog homepage - add some extra stuff, without much success. Its using the html so its not as simple as the other stuff. Not for my technologically challenged mind anyway. I'll see if I can get it right at some point soon.

I add new links fairly often (somewhere on the right hand side of this page) so if you don't already know them then check them out, most are pretty cool.

So I'm generally thinking of doing something new with the blog - layout and otherwise. Make it a bit more dynamic. This all largely depends on my technical abilities however and so may never come to pass. But time will tell.


Thats all for today, blog you later homies
