So the choices were, a) working harder or b) prostituting myself c) being a golddigger. I decided on the last one. My boyfriend's in the money, thank god, so i hope we (and probably another friend) will be travelling to the south of France again in august. I had such an amazing time last year and this time it could be even better, because now a) i don't have a sunburn which last year caused me to wear a burqua...

Too tired for anything really. But when (if?) i have something usefull to say, i'll fill you in. For now, let's just say i'm working on a novel, still work in a giftshop, and got rejected for two courses (one masters, one just too expensive). http://flog.blogdrive.com/comments?id=20 http://flog.blogdrive.com/archive/19.html Wed, 23 Mar 2005 20:20:54 GMT Okay....now i have even less time on my hands than when i was in college. So that means no entries for months. But...finally i have found my own place. So i've been very busy painting, cleaning and decorating my two-bedroom appartment in the centre of Leiden. I think it's gonna be great when i move in monday, but jeez, i'm not moving for a while, can tell you that. Oh right, does anyone have a spare couch? Preferably a chesterfield, hardihar. http://flog.blogdrive.com/comments?id=19 http://flog.blogdrive.com/archive/18.html Tue, 28 Dec 2004 21:34:49 GMT Aaaaah, just when you thought it would never happen...it did! A new entry! Praise Jesus! Well, my excuse probably is that i am suffering from a major post-graduate depression type thingie. Altogether anguish, misery, fear, doubts, grudges, woe is me. I am not to be motivated by anything. Even reading a book is too much most of the time. I just can't figure out what to do with myself and my life, especially since the new year's resolutions are pouring in from everywhere. Oh my, have i turned into a typical blog-person? Am i lowering myself to a group of people who think blogging...

My friend Mieke and me were thinking about going to the US and drive from West Palm beach, Fl, through New Orleans, Fort Worth, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon to LA and San Francisco, Ca. Yes, a long trip indeed, but definitely worth it, no doubts about that. For now, though, we're putting our trip on hold till we're sure that it's safe enough. With someone like Shrub ruling the world, who's sure about anything eh? Especially since it is obliged to leave a digital fingerprint...

Remarkably though, people are predominantly searching on the keywords "candidates standpoints". It seems that people that are supposed to vote, most of the time don't even know what their candidates are defending. Sure, everybody knows their standpoints on Iraq, but what about the environment, social welfare and economy? Even more remarkable is that these standpoints are quite hard to find on the internet....

Most of the time based on a book, dutch movies tend to center around sex and drugs. The two things tourists want to visit Holland for (that is, prostitution and weed are legal to a certain extent). Problem is that most dutchies don't want to be known for these extravagances. If i'm talkimg to someone from for instance England or America, the conversation will eventually lead to him or her saying "Oh right, weeeeeed, You must be high all the time". I don't even think that much people use marijuana or hashish, surely not me, so they should stand corrected....

Didn't sip bacardi though, i've too much of a headache right now. Yesterday had dinner at a chinese restaurant with my parents, sis and all-over sweetness boyfriend Ruben. Lots of fun, lots of good food and even got a chinese teapot-frog-lotusflower-thingie which is supposed to bring me luck. Unfortunately, it leaks...bad karma, i guess. This morning i worked till twelve and then spent the day making pictures and eating cake and bruschetta with my friend Solange. At night i watched all the girlies programs on tv (Friends, The Gilmore Girls and Sex and...

Yesterday i officially graduated from the 3-year bachelor programme of Theatre, Film and Television sciences at the University of Utrecht. Received a diploma and all that, and threw a small party. After i knew that i was gonna make it in June, i actually wanted to go on with the master's programme at the same university, one called Film and Television sciences. When i was accepted and had an introduction in July, i decided that the programme was shit on a stick and i didn't want to go through with it (like i have written in an earlier post called "Life under construction")....

A short biography about Frida Kahlo that the writer incorporated into the text made me curious. Luckily, the release of the movie enhanced an exploision of a Kahlo-cult, with books and documentaries available almost everywhere. Having read the biography by Hayden Herrera (on which the movie was based), i became a "fan" and admirer. A few months later and i have read Frida's diary, have a picture book and have aspirations to go to Mexico. Most of all, i want to go there to see the houses in which she lived during...
