I saw the cutest thing on the internet today. It’s called little printer and it’s kind of useless but hey, it’s totally cute! Here’s a picture, or better even, here’s a video!
Isn’t this thing totally cute?
I want it. Probably it’s crazily expensive, and not to forget, quite useless but still… I want it!
Hi there it’s me again! Remember me? The girl that used to write a post a week to inform you on the ups and downs in my life? Well, I’m here again, for now at least. The reason for my absense is that I’ve been moving. I bought my own appartment in the city! It’s a great place and I’m really happy to finaly have a real home, all to myself! Pictures will follow of course. First I need to get this place finished.
Today will be all about putting together my furniture. My parents will be here soon with all of it and then I can put my ikea skills to a good use again. I better get going and make sure the living room (yes I’ve got a living room, oh my god!) is empty so there is actually space to put my new furniture!
Disclaimer: the real reason for my absense is just plain laziness… Sorry guys!
I got hit on by a random stranger yesterday. Seriously people, what’s happening to this world?
I was on my way home, walking, minding my own business when someone called after me. One of the people working at the construction site next to my place. He asked if he could know my name, so I asked him why? What whould he do with that random information? He said he just wanted to know, and he also wanted my phone number. At this point my alarm bells began to ring, I don’t give out my phone number to random strangers on the street! So again I asked why he could possibly want that. He said just for texting and maybe giving me a call, just for fun. At that point I told him I already have a boyfriend, that should scare the guy off right? Right?
Well, not this one it wouldn’t! He wanted to give me his phone number so I could call him when I broke up with my boyfriend. I mean, seriously? What is this guy thinking?
What’s going on in the world? I really don’t think I’m that attractive. Even so, cars slow down in the streets to look at me every now and then, maybe open a window to whistle or shout out the nasty stuff to me. Why are men humiliating themselves like this? Can anyone please tell me?
My life has become incredibly boring. Well that, or my imagination has recently died a slow and painful death. I’m not sure which one I would prefer. Either way, here’s why:
Over two weeks ago, I wrote a post on being back in business and I haven’t even uploaded so much as a picture since. I want to, I really do. The problem is, I really don’t know what to write about. Every time I try my mind draws a blank, so I give up again. That’s why this post today isn’t so much a post as a cry for help to all of you people out there who still believe in me. Who still think this blog is worth reading. Who still think I’ve got it in me to produce some great stories on this or that. Who haven’t completely given up on me yet. Who, frankly, still remember who I am.
First off: thanks for sticking out with me! Now, for the help part, really anything would do. Just give me a topic and I’ll provide my opinion on it, as long as I have one that is.
I’ve got too many friends.
Why is that, you may ask? Well, one of them is going to Australia for half a year and we’re having a going away dinner tonight. I said I would make cupcakes for desert, with Australian flags on it. What a great idea! And what a lot of work! Damn, I like baking and all but I don’t like spending 3 hours decorating 9 cupcakes.If I had only 3 friends it would have been way less work! Australian flags suck (no offence to all the Australian people, nothing wrong with you, just your flag) Maybe I should have thought of this before but hey, it was such a nice idea! And the result is good I think, I’m actually a bit proud of my work here.
I’m adding a picture in this post but only if you won’t tell me what’s wrong with them (the color isn’t right, the stars don’t actually look like real stars etc). I already know all of this and I don’t want to hear it! Please just tell me they look incredibly cool and make my day!
And to my friend: please don’t ever decide to move to the USA. If you do, I’m not gonna make you cupcakes!
It’s time for my report on the second part of “the discovery of heaven”. Remember the first part I wrote? I told you I really liked the books, against all expectations. The second part was equally good in my opinion. It started again by the angel talking to his boss which I didn’tn really like but luckily that part was over quickly and the real story continued.
Again, I won’t tell you what hallend because, if you’re like me you don’t want to know 
I think the ead along is great, two weeks is enough time for me to finish the part of the book we are supposed to read. I’ve just finished it yesterday so I don’t have to wait long to continue the next part luckily. The read along is hosted by Iris, check out her blog to see what she thought!
What I can say about the book is that I really enjoy it, like I already told you after finishing the first part. The characters are nice and likable. I can really feel with them in what is happening. I’m really looking forward to the next part. I’ll update you in two weeks!
P.s. Sorry for not posting lately, I haven’t been feeling inspired to write something and I think I’ll take a break from my blog for a little while. I will respond to comments and read other blogs though, I won’t be gone completely!
I’ve finished the first part of the discovery of heaven and I have to say, it really is quite a good read 
I hadn’t expected this since for some reason I always thought the book was boring. I hate spoiling books for people who still want to read them so I’m not gonna give a summary of what happened up till now here. I’ll just tell you what I thought.
The book started off a bit strange by stories on finding the right people and getting the right DNA together top create the person “they” needed. After this we are taken to the real world and the actual story starts. The caracters described here are well thought out and it is easy to follow the story. Even though there are many words that are less common and I didn’t know the meaning of all of them it’s still a light read I think. I’m happy I started this book and I look forward to the next part of it!
A what, you might say? It’s a read along. It means several people join each other in reading the same book. And at the same pace too. There’s a set amount of pages to read for a certain period of time and then you can post your findings about it on your blog. I heard about this through Leeswammes who announced it at here blog. The read along is organised by Iris on her blog. I saw this and I thought it might be fun so I decided to join in. The book we will be reading is The Discovery of Heaven by Harry Mulisch. I’ve been meaning to read this book for a very long time now and I think this is a great opportunity!
A short summary of the book (by wikipedia):
The Discovery of Heaven tells the story of an angel-like being, who is ordered to return to Heaven the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments, given to Moses by God, which symbolise in the book the link between Heaven and Earth. The divine being, however, cannot himself travel to Earth, and on several occasions in the book resorts to influencing events, being in effect a deliberate personification of deus ex machina. He affects the personal lives of three people (two men and one woman) in order that a child will be conceived. This child would then have an innate desire to seek out and return the Tablets.
The book consists of four parts (dubbed “The Beginning of the Beginning”, “The End of the Beginning”, “The Beginning of the End”, and “The End of the End”). In between these four parts, the angel-like being discusses “The Plan” with his superior, who is supposedly an archangel.
I’ll keep you updated on the reading and who knows, maybe I’ll write a review of the book in the end. I’ve been thinking about starting a book blog next to this one for a while now and I guess this is a great way to give it a try before I dive in full speed!
As you might have noticed I’ve been trying to post something here at least once a week. Today I came across the post a week challenge of WordPress and I’ve decided to sign up. Who knows, maybe at some point my writing will actually improve!
I guess the hardest part of this challenge is to find something interesting to write about every week so I’ll say it up front: sorry if you’re bored by some of my posts I’m gonna do everything in my power to keep it fun for you!
Just a quick message to wish you all a very happy Christmas! Enjoy all the good food and happy family stuff.
