General news

London in May [or, releasing my inner-fangirl]

category:  News Moi The World 

Back in November I was feeling sorry for myself. Stuck with physical therapy twice a week [more on this, in Dutch, in this post], I needed to make plans for the new year that would clear my dark mood.

Along came a message.

A concert in London, the O2 Arena, in May.

For me, a once in a lifetime concert.

So, I bought the ticket (at 9:30AM, patiently refreshing the ticket website), without realizing the exact date: that would not be a problem (and, luckily, it wasn't!).

Grappige Moeder, of het relaas van een kapotte knie [nl]

category:  News Moi NL 

Ongeveer een maand geleden, tijdens een hockeywedstrijd, heb ik een compleet verkeerde draai met mijn linkerknie gemaakt. Waarschijnlijk is mijn voorste kruisband gescheurd (geheel of gedeeltelijk, dat is nog niet duidelijk), en ik volg nu drie keer per week instense fysiotherapie, met een steeds langer wordende oefeningenlijst voor thuis.

Zwaar klote, maar dit is nu even mijn realiteit.

Kan wel huilen, maar ja, wat schiet ik daar mee op: niets!

Dus blijven lachen!

Dat lachen lukt wel. Ik heb inmiddels een nieuwe 'nickname': LeoKnieke (of Knieke, al naar gelang de vorige namen).
Ook heb ik inmiddels ontdekt dat je het woord 'knie' maar al te vaak kan inzetten.

Op zijn engels, naar aanleiding van de uitdrukking "She's one sandwich short of a picnic": I'm one ligament away from a knee.

Gisteravond bij mijn ouders gegeten, en mijn moeder kan er ook wat van!
Onderstaande uit een email (nadat we bijna de hele avond al een paar goeie uitdrukkingen hadden verzonnen):

  • als je maar een wit knietje kunt halen
  • tot op zekere kniehoogte
  • houdt me op de (knie)hoogte
  • een knielengte voorliggen
  • een knietje valt niet ver van het been
  • als er één knie over de dam is volgen er meer
  • één knietje brengt nog geen lengte
  • circus Knie (bestaat echt!)
  • ik kan je niet bij-knieeën (bijbenen)
  • Wasa Kniekebröt

Gebruik vooral de comments als je er nog meer kan verzinnen!

UPDATE

en nog een paar:
"Een knieval doen", "Waar de blanke top der knieën", of "Een, twee, knie ..." of "Weeknie" ....Tot knies!

UPDATE 2

via collega:
"Zullen we straks even een potje kniekeren?"

Hocks

category:  News Photographonics Moi 

Hocks

February 14 2009 a cute little puppy was born: Hocks (or as she's known to her kennel: Isis).
April 10 2009 she moved in with my sister and my brother-in-law.

She's adorable and playful and she still has to learn quite a few things!

Today I spent some time with her as my sister was visiting our grandmother (no dogs allowed!). She obviously was a bit confused, missing my sister, but we got along well. A few scrapes and bruises on my arms (war wounds?), but no harm done. I'll be Hocks-sitting again this Saturday, hopefully I'll be able to take some more photos!.

For now, enjoy the whole Hocks Set @ flickr.

More and more gadgets

category:  News Moi 

As of yesterday, I am the proud owner of a Nokia E71.

I'll always be able to go online (at least in the Netherlands), always connected, always to be found.

 

 

 

 

Hmm ... I love the ability to go online all the time (I miss this with my iPod Touch), but the connectivity and the fact that it has GPRS ...

Is Big Brother watching me?

He probably already was!

Which word would you save?

Some beauties, it seems, are destined for the semantic scrap heap. The editors at Collins have decided that they can dispense with [-] 24 rarely-used words [...]

Too bad we forgot to check all autographs needed for our Three-Dimensional documents.

But, thankfully Sofie has come up with an excellent solution.

The real official launch of Three-Dimensional VZW will just take a few weeks more.

Paris, Paris

category:  News 

From Friday December 16 until Sunday December 18, I will be in Paris with my parents, my sister and her boyfriend. We'll be celebrating my parents' 35th wedding anniversary.

It's been about 5 years since I was last in Paris, and this week I'll be deciding where I want to go.

Here's my list so far:
- Musée National Picasso Paris - Picasso, La Passion du dessin
- walking around the areas of Mouffetard and La Butte Aux Cailles
- lunch at Printemps or La Fayette

This time I will not visit the Nike of Samothrace in the Louvre, because, well, I've seen her enough!

Any other suggestions of sights and events I should see?

I will plan a visit to Musée d'Orsay as well. Also, this will be my 5th time in Paris (I think - could be 6th, could be 4th - lost count). I have seen the major sights :)

Airport PC Security?

category:  News 

O boy! Be careful what you do on those Airport PC's!

Airport PCs stuffed with meaty goodness

Apparently people leave their passwords behind and sent emails are kept as well. Of course the IE cookies and temporary internet files are saved too.

Consider yourself warned!
