Today Marion and I had the super lazy day we had planned the first weekend of my vacation and which was ruined by me becoming ill. So yesterday evening we dropped the mattresses from our bed in the living room in front of the TV-set. And there they are still. If I not needed to…

Christmas, some thoughts about it…
Today I saw a discussion about Christmas on Facebook. It was about “Keep Christ in Christmas”. Rather some reactions were claiming that Christmas should not be a commercial celebration. With that I agree. Funny fact was that the “Keep Christ in Christmas”-statement was coming from a webshop where you can buy all kind of things…
Tenderloin (pork) with brie and oxheart cabbage with mushrooms and bacon
I had promised to write about the dinner that I made yesterday from Marion and me…. tenderloin (pork) with brie and oxheart cabbage with mushrooms and bacon… The tenderloin (“varkenshaas”) needed some preparation… In some olive oil I mixed some chive, thyme, cayenne pepper, marjoram, salt and garlic. For an hour the tenderloin (cut open…
An old movie from 1972….
My brother sent me a link to an Youtube-movie of which he thought that would be nice for me to watch. And he was right… It was a movie from 1972 and it about the blood transfusion campaign of Dutch Red Cross Haaksbergen. In 1972 I was 9 years old. The nicest thing about the…
Delusions of Gender
During her holiday on Hawaii Marion has been reading the book “Delusion of Gender” written by Cordelia Fine. She really liked the book and suggested that it might be interesting for me to read as well. The book is about the supposed differences between genders. Yes, supposed differences, because the author claims that there are…
A note from Hawaii….
During the day I got mail’s, SMS messages and even some phone calls (*snuggles Rob, Sanne and her parents*) to hear if I’m all right and if this Tsunami that threatened Hawaii today was of influence for me. All rest assure, there is no danger for me at all. My main luck was that I…
Tron
Yesterday evening Marion and I have been to the movie “Tron: Legacy” in the Pathe cinema (Amsterdam). The movie we watched yesterday is a follow-up to an movie made in 1982. In the 1982 movie a computer scientist is literally abducted into the world of a computer and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where…
Christmas tree…
During the breakfast-up-bed that Marion and I had this morning (and I was the lucky one who could stay in bed all the time) we suddenly realized that this weekend was the last opportunity to put up the Christmas tree in my apartment together. And because it is the first time for me to have…
Oh yes, finally… Apassionata!!!!
For several years now there was something I wanted to visit so dearly…. and I know that this was a wish for Marion as well. But every time there was something that made it impossible to go there together. Last year Marion was in the US. The year before that I could not made…. but…
Jean Michel Jarre
Today there was a very nice article about Jean Michel Jarre in “De Metro” (a daily free newspapers that is spread on the rail-road stations). The article is about the tour Jean Michel Jarre is going to make. It is hard to believe, but this is the very first tour his going to make. Sure,…
