you wish you'd have a camera when

since I still have to use a camera to take a proper picture, oh... the times I have been swearing cause I didn't have it with me...
and my cell phone camera won't do the trick... it's one of the "4 pixel"-generation

1- when a new generation worker's men gives its best (read: one handles the shovel, three others watch and delegate)
2- when you spot an oldtimer mini cooper... with dito passengers and driver
3- when the cat goes acrobatic during its siesta nap (from 8.30AM to 7PM)
4- when there's a rainbow... oh wait, I did have one last time :)

5- when the cat is ambushing a mouse and wiggling its butt
6- when the cat fell in the pond (a gust blew over the sun screen, which landed right next to the poor thing who didn't see it coming... he jumped up... and landed in the water)
7- when the fish in the pond suffer from megalomia and start making dolphin jumps
8- ...

it's all about the view

seeing the world from a different perspective... it's refreshing

1. on the floor: usually you see everything from eye-level (1.50m to 1.90 depending on your height)
yesterday night I was lying on my floor, feet up in the air (very therapeutical to long legs like mine)

things you see from that position:
in the "oh shit" category:
- still some dust after vacuuming, swiffering and mopping
- stains of humidity on both sides of the upper roof beam (oh crap)
- the roof (of course) that is dirty
in the completely useless category:
- the awesomeness of the green paint on my wall
- the failed attempt of drying the bridal bouquet of your best friends (I caught the bouquet at my best friend's wedding - angelic patience for the next wedding (mine that is) will be necessary - the thing is now hanging upside down from my closet and looks sad)
- the end of the neighbours' beams
- the roof windows

2. from the sky: under construction... (skydiving is on my to do list - if any of my friends feel called upon... we still didn't really celebrate my birthday ;))

3. immersed in creativity: I don't wanna sound lazy but... under construction...
the quest for a thesis (check what a week) and more in particular for people willing to help me turned out to be a full joke...
the last update I gave you all is 4 months later massively outdated (an update will follow shortly), but to give a sneak preview, I REAALLLY need(ed) to change my tactics to advanced creativity
not just creativity in writing text, inventing research questions and conservation guidelines

to be continued

facebook vs supermarket

every once in a while you walk into your supermarket
you enter, you stop, you observe... and you think... f*ck, they moved everything again
behold the quest to the things you need
after 30 minutes you're out (25 minutes later than you had hoped) but you stood the test

every once in a while you open your facebook (ok, you do it often, but that's not the point)
you sign in... and you think... bloody hell not again a full change of interface
behold the quest to the right buttons
after 4 hours you're still not out, you still don't get the f*cking interface, or more importantly WHYYYY

tip to facebook: have a full size inquiry amongst your members
not only the nerds
