Finally finished my long weblog-entry in my 'normal' log, so it's time to update this corner of my world;)
Work is slowly building up. These past few weeks with Xmas and NewYears have been unusually quiet. For the first time in a year I had time to clean up our archives and it has been over seven years since I spent more than 2 days between all those old files. I got a little nostalgic between the folders and found it to be very relaxing to not sit in front of a computer all day;)
A very good thing, since the days before the Holiday-season were very busy and stessfull. Not only because of the workload, but also thanks to the annoying changes in the bussystem, that forced me to make a lot of phonecalls to buscompanies and other 'authorities'. I do not want to get into that again, I've just been writing it all down in Dutch and that was depressing enough, so here I'll just type that I finally got my new buspass today and will be able to show the hilarious picture to busdrivers from tomorrow...;)

I started a new work-out schedule tonight, got a little bored with the old exercises and machines, after two years of using more and more weights and repetitions it was time for a new challenge:) Tried the rowing-machine again, which was a little intimidating after my first experience about 3 years ago. The idiot-substitute trainer didn't give any instructions then and I hurt my weak back after only two strokes. Have been avoiding the machine ever since. But now my back is stong enough to try it again, so I told Carolien to write it down on my new schedule:)
I did kind of okay, still a bit wobbly, but I'm sure I will be much better next time (and the week after that and the weeks after that;)

More big news: I'm learning to handle my regular dvd-player! (as opposed to the one on my computer, that I figured out a long time ago;) Thanks to the Seinfeld Series 1-3 my mum and her boyfriend got me for my birthday I'm starting to get used to actually using the video/dvd combination for more than just recording (which reminds me: forgot to tape 'De Band' tonight, grumble) and am discovering more and more useful buttons, woohoo.
Also managed to make my DVD/DivX player work for all regions, so in my Attic-turned-Cinema I'm able to watch discs from all over the world:-)

Enough with the log, I'm gonna play with my DVD-collection!
