I just finished watching this week’s performances for American Idol.   Eish, does this year suck. Jordin did great, I’m actually starting to see her as a front runner.  Helped that I really loved the song she sang. Melinda also did an awesome job and I love that Simon told her to drop the surprise act every time someone compliments her, …

Yesterday I went to the Rotterdam Zoo (Diergaarde Blijdorp) with my three friends Lynda (right), Paule (left) and Simone (middle).  It was a beautiful day with temps in the low 20’s and we had such a wonderful time. Lynda is leaving us on the 24th when she moves back to the UK to live.  So we’re getting in as much …

Looks like I got out just in time… Apparently addiction consultants Smith & Jones are coaxing gamers back to reality in a clinic in Amsterdam. They say… Research suggests online game playing may trigger the release of the chemical dopamine in the brain. A study done in London’s Hammersmith Hospital showed that increased levels of dopamine were roughly the equivalent …

I’m sitting here on a Friday night watching Holland playing Ivory Coast in the World Cup (which we won!) and I decide to check out Flickr, where I’ve recently posted some Oranje photos like the football newbiefan that I am… and this message was waiting: Hi, Is it not soccer that you are celebrating with the orange?? Is it not …

Stop the world, I wanna get off…. I’m about to tell you all something very disturbing, very disturbing indeed. I think I like football.. as in, soccer. Yesterday I was playing with one of my new widgets* which keeps track of what is on TV here in NL. As I was flicking to the channels checking to see if it …

Blasphemer says: Yeah and Etos, so you can take something home for when you have a headache and for days that you don’t , hahaha Breigh says: HAHAHAHA …

Found this on one of my yahoo groups that was posted from www.Expatica.com 23 September 2005 AMSTERDAM — At least 77 percent of the mainly expat staff of international agencies in the Netherlands want to leave the country. And more than half of the Dutch employees think their organisation should relocate to another country, according to a report in newspaper …

It’s been raining for the past few days in the Netherlands, which is a bigger threat here than in a lot of other places in the world. The Dutch struggle constantly with water because a large part of the country below sea level and is reclaimed land. They’ve come up with an ingenius set of locks to keep the water …

Ever wonder what it’s like where I live? I found this website while chatting with a friend and looking for photos of Rotterdam. There’s lots of pictures from around the city on there, was a pretty good find. Stephanie voted off Survivor.. not like I couldn’t see it coming but I know Tom is next and then there’s really nobody …

Yesterday I returned the Creative Camera and got the Logitech Camera back with a powered USB hub. The camera didn’t work. I spent most of the afternoon on the phone with the people from Logitech (Who were as useless as tits on a bull!) and with the makers of this laptop (Who were great!!) yet we came to no solution. …

Well once again I’m writing this while I have no internet. I don’t know what has been happening lately, whether it’s our wireless or the internet itself but it’s really unstable. That can be a pain for someone like me who is constantly downloading things.I was just watching Suddenly Susan and they were bowling. Todd goes to pick up his …
