Today I had Bailey out for his morning walk when this lady came along with some big yellowish dog. Not a lab or retriever but some other biggish dog who’s breed I couldn’t even take a guess at. Anyhow, as usual the two dogs were straining to get near each other and I figured Bailey would be his usual playful …

So Bo didn’t win American Idol. Deep down I kind of knew it would go this way but I still hoped. Can’t say Carrie doesn’t deserve it though.. she’s quite talented. I was so excited about downloading the final episode today. Two whole hours of anticipation (or boredom, if it was just more of Ryan’s stalling tactics rather than actual …

That’s the title of this article about Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau. She spent 7.5 years in jail after admitting to having a relationship with a 12 year old student. Now after all those years the two of them have been married. Woah.. I was surprised when I saw this article, I mean I figured these two were old …

Today I mustered up the energy and desire to go to school.. ok no not really, there was no desire. There was just an awareness that I haven’t been there yet this week and I should probably go. Anyhow, as the teacher was telling us about our homework one of the other students asked her about something we were supposed …

Tired today even though I slept in until 9am, which is about 3.5 hours later than usual. Of course, we went to bed quite a bit later last night than we usually do as well. We were joking last night about how we are the ‘old folks’ and wondering when it came to be that we found 1:30am to be …

It’s random update day. I’ve decided to have these every so often so that I can get out loads of little things that I can’t be arsed writing entire blogs about. My horoscope for today was interesting considering all the things going on lately with my school: You should be doing something about your position or the direction you are …

One thing I’ve been doing lately is snapping pictures of everyone and everything. Not that this is anything new, but it makes me happy. I’m hoping to be able to make my way through a photography course once my Dutch has reached a respectable level, just for something fun to do. Here are some of my favorites from the past …

That’s what Xander calls the kids across the street. Mean I suppose, but I still can’t help but laugh when he tells me “The Musical Mongos are on parade!”. It’s that time of year again, when they workers at the special needs school across the street start putting their patients outside for a little sun and fresh air. After an …

I don’t mean the actual word “WORD” but the program “WORD”. I managed to talk myself into going to school yesterday, thinking I’d go to class and listen to my teacher .. you know, teach me shit. Yeah … When I got there she took us to the OLC (Open Leer Centrum) and plopped us down in front of computers. …

Project Home Reno is a go. We’ve sucessfully stripped every scrap of wallpaper from our apartment, Xander has sanded the door/window frames and I am in the process of painting them white. Soon there will be no more pink!! I just sit in the livingroom now, looking at the door frame leading to the hall and it’s a nice clean …

I saw this on a forum I frequent and thought it was totally blog-worthy. **************** I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their heads and women with their hearts. FOR …
