Instead of making new year’s resolutions I like to look back at the year gone by and count my blessings. I’ve made a habit of keeping my photo collection properly organized, and at the end of each year I browse my photo harddisk. This is an exercise I can recommend to anyone. I think in these modern and fast times we live in nowadays, we sometimes take too little time to appreciate the events that happen in our lives. (continue reading…)

Sini and me visited Holland for the weekend. Worked at the Ericsson office in Rijen for a day. Drove on ice without spikes. Had some beer with friends in de Stichtse. Had a nice breakfast with Jasper, Mika and my mum in Utrecht. Met up with Jan and visited Marco and Jasminka in their new place. Ate some chocolate letters and pepernoten, ran into some Zwarte Pieten, and seen the new Dick Maas movie, Sint, with Graat.

Of course the weekend was again too short to do all the things I would have liked to do, but very cool nevertheless. And I have a fresh supply of Senseo pads

Snygga frilla eller hur?

Spending the weekend in Örebro with Sinis parents. Yesterday we went hiking in Kilsbergen, a beautiful Scandinavian forest area with mountainbike roads and stuff. At night we went to see the second movie in the Stieg Larsson Millennium trilogy called Flickan som lekte med elden. Cool movie, though there was something weird about it. Some parts were slow, others were suddenly fast. First time I ever saw a movie in a cinema which was completely Swedish!

In other news: Rutger and I started blabbing about our punk rock ambitions yesterday, and it’s made us ambitious again. Next weekend I’ll be recording some live drums to Welcome to Sanity and I’m on a Roll. You can find an earlier recording of the latter song here, but it’s got a dodgy drumtrack which basicly came straight out of the sampler. Will be fun, I’ll finally get to try out Logic Pro 9, it’s been sitting on my desk for a week…

Last weekend was action packed! Me and Sini flew to Holland for a weekend. I had to open a bank account, but since I was going over there anyway, I paid some visits to friends and family. Strawberry picking, visiting mum and Jasper, coffee at grandma’s, Joost’s party, jamming with Zenn & Math @ the Hekellaan, Sini’s first visit to a 5 minute Goa rave – too much to mention, really, so just look at the pictures.

And on request, here’s a short video that captures the last part of the ride to Weeze Airport, including the prices of the parking lots, if you can read it….
