Oooh.. Markting can be SO much fun :)
especially if you are allowed to throw 250000 rubber balls down a street in San Francisco.. WHEEE!!!!
look here for a video of the advertisement SONY has made recently:

Truly like.no.other
*bows in respect*
Because I felt like it I lit myself a cigarette just now.. it was awful! :D
Anyway:
For these cold and wet days there is only one solution to make yourself feel cozy:
Get your favourite cat/human on your lap, hug him/her/it tightly and listen to the music of Jack Johnson, I recommend “Brushfire Fairytales”
…and the day will pass just like that, unnoticed and warm like a hug.
Well, the plan was to get up early, get my ass on the bike and go to the station, taking the train at 8:30 and being in Amsterdam to meet Anna at eleven.
Training was quite hard yesterday so I overslept. Nothing new, yea.. but then, the part with the bike got difficult. It wasn’t there anymore.
And of course it was raining hard. Well, whoever god is responsible for this is not nice.. but he/she has style and takes care the setting is correct. :(
— 3 days later —
well, I have to take back some of the things I said :)
Amsterdam is the most crazy, colorful, intense.. I don’t know what else museum to walk in that I have ever seen. I wonder if you can get bored there at all…
It was an incredibly beautiful weekend with Anna, I wish we could walk there more often.
Monday I was depressed ;)
As of today, we have a new Doctor in the family.
Anna today successfully defended her thesis and has been awarded her Ph.D.
Cheers~! :D :D :D
Sander, thank you for the B/W picture, it’s just wonderful!
today after work/university I went to the parking and startled: no car!
First I thought, I’d gotten into the same situation as Matt some weeks ago but it turned out that I have parked it on some “University parking” which for me was absolutely correct to to…
Well, the people from the towing service then told me that only employees of the university can park there, not students…
100,- Euros, the most expensive ticket I ever got.
And to end the story with a quote of Matt:
“That is a lot of money” :(
About the Sharp Notebook..
I am sorry but we can not sell our notebooks outside of the US.
How booooring these people are ;)
aren’t they sweet when they are asleep?
Be careful when saying “yes”, people tend to take it for granted and demand afterwards.
maybe I should say “maybe” more often… :P
It seems that I am not that indestructible after all.
My body tolerated everything that I did to it the last weeks but now that I had a relaxed weekend, I finally got sick. With a vengeance. My head hurts, my throat is sore and I can’t focus a single idea for more than 5 minutes.
Well, apart from the throat and the headache this is quite normal for me I’d say ;)
Seems I will spend another day lying in bed and drinking tea. I have the best company possible with me, Siepke. He basically does not care how I feel but I seem to make him feel comfortable lying next to him and radiating warmth :)
Besides, I just finished reading 1984 and my mood is partly rebellish, partly depressed. Have to think about that one deeply.
Edit: just has a nice conversation, the following seemed worth noting down:
Was hilft es, über das Meer zu setzen und den Wohnort zu wechseln? Wenn du dem, was dich drückt, entgehen willst, so musst du nicht an einem anderen Ort sein, sondern selbst ein anderer sein. Deine Reisen werden dir keine Erleichterung schaffen; denn du reisest mit deinen Leidenschaften, und deine Übel folgen dir nach.
-Seneca-
God, I am so happy this cat is back.. I don’t know what I would have done without him.
Anna is writing another summary of her thesis for the press and I am typing my thermodynamics-lecture into the laptop. I decided to do this from now on to memorize the lessons better.
My friday night I spent in the biology-department setting up a new webserver because I accidentially deleted the whole /dev directory by issuing rm -d -r /dev/ instead of ./dev (note the small but fatal dot!)
At 0:00 I arrived in Maastricht, Anna being very mad at me having spent the evening without me once more.
Lesson of the day:
“Never touch a running system!”
Or as the IT-department says:
“Never touch a running system on Friday after 14:00!”
