Chaos


[Oorspronkelijk bestemd voor protected, uiteindelijk toch maar public. Dit kan wel hier terecht.]
Gedachten die de ene seconden heel belangrijk lijken vliegen de volgende seconde ineens mijn hoofd uit. Wel weet ik dat het iets belangrijks was. Ohja, dat was het. Zo belangrijk was het eigenlijk toch niet.

New tiles


They finished laying the new floor tiles. It’s still a big mess but it’s starting to take shape. They still have to change out the entrance itself. And after that I think there’s still a lot to do… put in new doors on all floors (I think I saw that in the other buildings), paint [...]

Another one?


Oh no, and another one of my favourite books (Red Mars from The Mars Trilogy) will be adapted. This time into a television mini-series. Back when I read the trilogy I felt it was very suitable for a mini series, but now that it’s here: yuck. The problem I have is simply the people working [...]

Stripped


It almost seems like an abandoned building… you might guess nobody was living here by the way it looks Hopefully they’ll start the renovation soon, but since they’re doing several other entrances/hallways at the same time I suspect it’ll take a little while longer before they actually start here However, in [...]

Retro-futurism


One of the subjects I’ve been wanting to write about is Retro-futurism. If you don’t know what the term means, exactly, you can read up on it here.
As I’ve mentioned before, when I started reading sci-fi the first books I read were written by Isaac Asimov back in the 1940’s and 1950’s. The first sci-fi [...]

De 3e Verdieping


Voor het helpen van het buurmeisje kreeg ik gisteravond bij thuiskomst een taartje. Was wel lekker! Ik ben erg blij dat de bewoners op mijn verdieping best aardig zijn en redelijk met elkaar kunnen omgaan.
Ik kwam net na het boodschappen doen mijn andere buurman Hassan tegen, en volgens hem gaat het nog steeds flink door [...]
