Rerun of FightNight CSI (S3Ep7) on tv. Missed Warricks-boxinggloves-test, but did enjoy seeing Greg deliver the 'Because you make me nervous' speech to Grissom (heh)
Okay, so I was bored and spent the night in front of the tv, at least I have an excuse to post this picture;-)

Started the rewatch of CSI S5 on the big screen.
Loved how Sobell (Television without Pity) described this part:
Enter Prisoner 24609. Behold the impersonal navy jumpsuit, the punitive crew cut, the enraged voice as he shouts, "Man, if I ever have to search another torched car --!" Liam turns around and, hey! That's Nicky. Taking his style cues from that Ridley Scott commercial introducing the Mac, I see. [...]
Anyway, Liam introduces his lady love as Chandra Moore. Nicky extends a greasy, sooty hand in introduction as he exposits, "Oh, yeah! The DNA girl." Chandra recoils, [...] acting like [she's] too clean to shake Nicky's hand. Nicky settles for a friendly knuckle-bump. Chandra rattles off her bona fides: "B.S. in biochem, M.S. in molecular biology, five years of service in DNA at the C.C.L." Nicky and Liam act impressed, because their mommas raised them to be polite. Then Nicky takes his leave by announcing that he's going to use the "no-pressure, no-A/C, stinks-of-feet shower. So, welcome." Nicky, if you want her to join you, you're going to have to work on making the offer sound a little more enticing.

heh. More scenes full of not-very-subtext in Ep2 btw;-)
fyi: Liam = Greg, aka the labtech

Washed my windows today.
Here's the before and after picture. (no comment;)

(more on the new couch in my cotw)

AU!
Hit my head on a shelf in the kitchen and am bleeding :-(



(ok, the detail is a bit overdramatic, but it is a rather large cut (nearly 2 cm!)and it stings a lot)

Mental preparation for the last week of vacation, sigh.
Hung around and did some thinking (ouch) Thought about that whole bi-thing and made an interesting discovery, ehm... never mind;) (not ready to share that: tmi)

Trendhopper called: my couch has arrived! Unfortunately there is no picture on the website, but it's big and aubergine, use your imagination;)
(Now I have to find a way to get it up in my apartment...;)

(Window) shopping in Amsterdam with Gayleen: touched a 1500+ euro coat at Dolce & Gabbana. We both scored some good stuff at Lush (Sonic Death Monkey) and bought books at Waterstone's (Until I Find You by John Irving and short stories by Dave Eggers). Ended the day at the movies: missed the beginning of Mr. & Mrs. Smith and watched The Island. (reviews will follow in the movielog;)
Said goodbye at the trainstation, where I found my platform closed off. Staff didn't give any information to the waiting crowd, but there were rumours of a -whispering- b-o-m-b-t-h-r-e-a-t.
Dear railway-employees: when people don't know what they're waiting for, they get pissed off. Next time just tell us what the hell is going on. Besides: Bombthreat-Schmombthreat, I'm pms-ing and a lot more dangerous than any would-be-terrorist. If I miss my train, you're in big trouble. I'm not kidding.
Lucky for them, passengers were allowed on the platform just in time and I also managed to catch the connecting train home.
To whomever 'caused the situation: don't try this again.

Exciting day:-)

Moved the icons to the special Icon Corner: see link!

Finished painting! Here are the final results of livingroom and shower...
(click for larger picture;)







Diner with Gayleen and Jaap in The Hague (G is a great cook: I didn't know you could make pizza's from scratch;)
Night at the beach for the fireworksfestival in Scheveningen. Second day of competition: Croatia and Italy. I liked the rhythm of the first, but the second display was more spectacular.
It was fun (also enjoyed the comments of the people on the beach: 'it was a fucking shooting star' heh:)

11 am-ish: Getting ready to paint the wall in the 'bathroom' (there is no bath). How in the #*&%#& do I remove that shower-tube? Aaargh, I'm gonna get something to eat first, grumble.

15.30 (three thirthy;) Finally found a way to get the shower off the wall:-) Been painting most of the afternoon, result so far:




Last picture with superflash I guess, on the whole wall the color is the same pale-blue;-)

Also started on the windowpane in the livingroom, but had to take a break from having my arms up in the air. Will continue after posting...

Done:-)

Still painting my livingroom-wall... Got shocked once yesterday and once today because one of the sockets turned out to be connected to another fuse (I think it's called a circuitbreaker now) than the one I decided to switch off after the first shock... Put a second layer of paint on half the wall today.
Hopefully I'll be able to finish the rest before I go on my tiny-trip down south tomorrow... (only one socket to avoid on the part of the wall that's left;0)

'I can't believe BeeLikeJ watched this entire movie'
'Me neither'

;-)


['See Jane Date' with Charisma Carpenter and Holly Marie Combs was on tv, screencapture by hollymcombsfan.com]

No Sneakpreview, big change for my Monday-evenings; no cinema, but staying in.
After hanging around I finally got up and went upstairs to watch Buffy...
(why did it take me so long? Sigh)

'Shht, I'm undercover'
'Not under much'

Heh: Xander in sexy speedo's :-)

Happy B-day
Big Three-O for Eric Szmanda:-)

('and the mind gets dirty, as you get closer to thirty';-)
Blur-End Of The Century

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince
11.00 started reading
22.00 finished the book

Wow, just spent three hours writing a rant in my live journal. Hope I don't get banned from the community...

Lazy-->See Live Journal

PMS...

not that one unfortunatly

but the girly kind, grumble

TMI? I'm not apologizing :-p

Woohoo, apparently mom can go online now. According to a comment 'Anonymous' left at my cotw and at Hans' weblog her computer is able to use the cable (heh, made it rhyme:) Now we only have to convince mom to go surfing and to use msn... We are building a religion;-)

Another woohoo: two comments on the test: no surprises so far... What do you score ?

(going for a record number of links today, you can have some cake when you're done surfing;)

Hmmm, I finally figured out why I really like to see CSI-Nick with his glasses on: the first guy I had a major crush on in highschool had glasses, so I guess it brings back sweet memories:-) Weird that I didn't make the connection earlier, they also share the same name... (repressing much, 'cause the memories may be sweet now, it really was hell back then, unrequited love is a bitch;-)
