fresh start

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

I felt miserable all week, wasn’t able to contain myself, couldn’t sleep and i can’t explain why … Today i got rid of all the junk on my computer, cleaned my desk and sorted out paperwork. I studied some more spanish grammar and forced myself to reply to some spanish emails. I went for a head-clearance-walk and now i feel fresh again, ready for a productive weekend.

Still some good things happened this week:

  • the laundry is done
  • “over een kleine mol die wil weten wie er op zijn kop gepoept heeft” made me laugh again. (**funny little book by Werner Holzwarth and Wolf Erlbruch)
  • virtually met Tinne Luyten, a pleasant and inspirational encounter
  • Tim cooked sprouts
  • Kenny is almost done with the piles (might not mean anything to you, but it is a big deal here!)
  • my two cats felt something was wrong and did their very best to entertain me this week, cute animals!

attention please!

transform yourself

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

Tim made my day! He send me some pictures of him (and 2 other colleagues) transformed by this website. It made me laugh and i tried it too, with folowing results:

I’ve uploaded a plain, frontal picture of myself to transform. This is what the application generated out of me:

1. my babypicture (looks more like a watercolor painting)
2. me, very old (o, i hope not …)
3. me, if i were african (with blue eyes?)

4. if Modigliani would’ve painted me
5. if Botticelli would’ve painted me
6. if Mucha would’ve drawn me

**i’m pretty sure these masters are turning over in their graves now!**

What can i say … strange things are happening on the world wide web!

insomnia

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

Aaarch … the fifth night in a row already without decent rest … This nightly wandering around the house isn’t good for one’s state of mind.
Ramses and Tomster are quite happy with the company though. They are so alive at night! I would be too i guess, if i slept all day.

It’s 7 o’clock now, the sun is coming up, another day … let’s get started. Pfff …
