R's birthday is done now. We had a flower power themed party called "Temple of Love" - complete with Ravi Shankar and Summer of Love music + a home-made curtain made of straws. Indian food was on the menu and I got some new recipes that will stay on my repertoire like potato-curry, Jamie Oliver curry and banana/chili-dip. Yum! My milk allergi of course is totally out of control after an evening like this, but it was definately worth it. Now it's back to the study books - I'm still struggling with the dutch language and a party like we had this saturday only spurs me to get it learned faster. It is hard for me to understand dutch when many speak at the same time, and even harder when I'm being tested in my language skills too ("do you know this or that expression?"). --- We bought a new lamp the other day which I simply couldn't resist buying when we saw it in the lamp shop downtown. It's made to look like a fly, and that is accomplished with a few materials of which the tea maker is the most prominent. Ckeck it out here - it's created by Sigi Bussinger. Be sure to check out the love story (requires Flash)! --- I got done with the newest addition to our PS2 collection Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II. It's a very cool game with great graphics, humour, level design and environmental design. It also has a pretty steep learning curve, so it doesn't take more than one try or two before the options in the game becomes obvious. BUT...it has a re-playability around zero. It simply becomes boring to re-play with another character. It also lacks a better differentiation between the three different play modes (easy, normal, hard). All in all: I loved it...until I wanted to play it again. *** - | posted by Tommy on 2:37 PM ---ooo--- |
