Remember years ago when I posted about Fox News trashing the Netherlands? Then later about the Dutchie’s response to the ridiculous babblings of Bill O’Reilly? I don’t think it’s any secret that I think Bill O’Reilly is a complete douche, nor do I think it’s an unpopular opinion. He’s a blow hard who hears nothing [...]
Well, fun for us anyway! It’s not so fun for Christiaan Van Vuuren at the moment, as he’s been in quarantine in Sydney Hospital in Australia since the end of last year. The info as of Jan 6th from his YouTube Page:
On Wednesday the 9th December I was admitted into Sydney Hospital… It wasn’t just [...]
I know you’ve probably seen this before I did, and I’ll spare you the Haiti talk. You can find that on pretty much every other website on the internet and if you are or aren’t going to donate nothing I say here will make a difference. I wanted to share this video anyway for a [...]
If you haven’t been following Shit My Dad Says on Twitter up until now, you’ve been missing out, it’s one of my favorite Twitter feeds by far. It’s some of the funniest stuff I’ve read in a while, and from the first time I saw it, I thought THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT SITCOM! There’s [...]
That’s right folks! According to Variety, Katherine Heigl is lined up to play Janet Evanovich’s claim to fame and everyone’s favorite bounty hunter – Stephanie Plum!! In the upcoming film, One For The Money, she’ll be hunting down the hottest cop in Trenton! One For The Money is the title of the first book in [...]
I’m a fan of Twilight, I don’t think that’s any secret around here. Even though the first movie frustrated me with Bella’s lip biting and head wobbling, the missing pieces and the bits thrown in that weren’t even in the book… I’ve still watched it again. Ok more than once, leave me alone!
While reading the [...]
Last night my friend Heather and I attended the International Film Festival here in Rotterdam. I have never been to a film festival of any kind so I had no idea what to expect. It was her idea, and in the beginning I was willing to go but wasn’t entirely on board. I’m not a [...]
Around this time last year I did a post about what my choices would be for Stephanie Plum Movie Castings, if she were ever to come to the big screen. There has been a lot of debate about it, but I still stand firmly behind my selections.
The other day I saw an article on the [...]
This is quite possibly one of the worst books I have ever read. A friend loaned it to me together with an entire bag of other books. She went through them quickly with me but she admitted she bought a few of them simply because of their covers. They do all have very cool and [...]
That’s a lot of meat for only four people but in our defense, we did have veggies too!
Last night Xander and I went down to Roosendaal to visit with our friends Penny & Yuri. A few weeks ago when I went to visit Penny for the day we walked by a restaurant that sparked my [...]
We all know I’m terrible for taking long, agonizing walks down Memory Lane, right? Well… I’m at it again!
Out of the blue a few days ago I started humming the theme song to The Littlest Hobo. When I told my husband about it he had never heard of the show so I started singing the [...]
I just saw the funniest video. It’s a parody of the X-Men films using a mixture of movies like Wolvrine, Max Payne, Batman Begins, The Hulk and Blade and then put together with bits from different Tim Allen films.
Generally I’m not a fan of spoofy movies that make fun of other shit. Scary Movie, [...]
Each year my husband and I each get our own gifts, but we also decide on one large combined gift that we share. Either something we want for the house, an activity we’d like to try or something we really need that both of us will use and enjoy. This year we have been undecided [...]
This video is so funny! If you can overlook the fact that Jack has diff clothes and hair every time you see him. Poor Jack, always on someone’s naughty list!
Last night my friend Laila and I went to the Old Luxor Theater in Rotterdam to see the Peking Acrobats. We weren’t sure what to expect but it was a mixture of wonder, amazement, disappointment and absolute terror.
Not my photo, we weren’t allowed to take any so I had to resort to looking for [...]
Back in May, my friend Penny got me a ticket to see P!NK for my birthday. I was SO excited but it seemed like it was ages away at the time. May to December, that’s a long time to wait! It got here in a flash though and I sat here yesterday saying “I [...]
I’ve now watched a full 11 episodes of Glee, and I’m perplexed. Do I like it? Do I hate it? I can’t figure it out! It’s a bit of both… I want to love it but all the little things that bug me keep piling up and putting me off.
It’s like when you [...]
I may very well be the last gamer on the planet to hear about these people, but I feel the need to share… just in case there’s someone more out of the loop than I am.
The Guild are a group of gamers who came together to make their own web-based show about five [...]
Yet another hiatus from my blog. Sometimes I find it hard to find things to write about because I’ve pretty much already told everyone I know what I’ve been up to via Twitter and Facebook. It makes the blog seem a little pointless at times. It sucks in a way, I miss writing here regularly.
This [...]
If you are like me and grumbled over shows like Lipstick Jungle, Swingtown and Samantha Who? getting cancelled, I might have found something else you might like. This is mostly for the other expat gals who, like me, have to download everything they want to watch and may not have heard of it. It’s called [...]
