The Objects of My Desire

The Objects of My Desire

A few months ago I got a new phone, and I’m so incredibly in love with it.  It’s a HTC Desire android phone and I honestly don’t know what I would do without it.  It does everything for me, it’s my mp3 player, phone, camera, ereader, agenda… it’s my brain! Isn’t it pretty? My preciouuuuusssss… [...]

Tagged by Kara

I had mentioned on my post about the meme from Alison that another friend had tagged me in a different one as well.  It was Kara, my northern friend and weight loss buddy.  She gave me a few questions and apparently I am supposed to come up with a few of my own and pass [...]

Tag, I’m It!

Tag, I’m It!

Every once in a while blog awards and memes go around and this is one of those days!  This week two of my blogging buddies asked me to ‘pass it on’ so that is what I’m doing.  I’ll do one now and one tomorrow. First,  Alison from A Flamingo in Utrecht named me as one [...]

She Loves Me Too!!

She Loves Me Too!!

Yesterday Michelle over at Laundromat gave me this best blogger award.  YAY, I FEEL LOVED!!  I must say I was surprised and totally stoked to get it, as the whole little blog awards thing always seem to pass me by.   Over the past few weeks there’s been one going through all the expats here like [...]

Blogging By Mobile

Blogging By Mobile

Was wondering if I could write a blog with my phone. Found a WP app on the Android market and decided to test it. Here goes nothing! Adding some random photo I took months ago to test the camera. No idea how it will format it.

XBox vs Playstation vs Wii

XBox vs Playstation vs Wii

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 [...]

The Guild

The Guild

  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 [...]

Post It Insanity

Post It Insanity

You know you have a lot of time on your hands WHEN…  This is so freaking cool!  A part of me wonders if this is actually done with post its or if it’s some kind of  digital thing, but in any case it had to take a while and looks awesome!

Geeks In Love

Geeks In Love

On Wednesday night Xander and I were going out to see Star Trek – OMG What an awesome movie!!! – and I was getting cranky because he was rushing me.   Also because I was sleep deprived… AND PMSing.  Seriously, he should have known better. Anyhow, as I ran around getting dressed and brushing my teeth, [...]

Happy Easter-Birthday-Anniversary to Me!

Happy Easter-Birthday-Anniversary to Me!

I’ve always been really interested in photography but never knew anything about it.  I’ve tried looking some info up online but there is something about my brain that causes it to switch off when I get too much information at once.  I needed personal instruction and I never knew anyone here in NL who could [...]

We Wish You a Geeky Christmas!

We Wish You a Geeky Christmas!

Holy crap, can you believe it?!!  I remember when I started the countdown on my header, it was 68 days until Christmas and now it’s here! This is where Xander and I will spend Christmas Eve – in front of the tree, behind our laptops, just the way we like it!  Ok, I’m sure I’d [...]

The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth

The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth

I recently watched the first season of The Big Bang Theory and instead of laughing at the characters, I was laughing with them and wishing I was the one who lived across the hall from them. I think a lot of women dream about living across the hall from Brad Pitt or the guys from [...]

Gadget Geek

Gadget Geek

I think anyone who knows me and my husband knows that we are major gadget geeks.  Rather than clothes and shoes, holidays and whatever else people usually spend their money on, we are always on the lookout for a new laptop, PDA, mobile phone, etc.   My working has really made this easier for us. This [...]

A Gamer is a Gamer is a Gamer

One of the things I hated about gaming, and don’t miss in the slightest, is all the smacktalk that goes on.   When you play online games of any kind, you can’t escape the morons who use the games to make themselves feel like less of a loser and spend all their time mouthing off. I [...]

Touch Typin’!

This evening my husband got me to go to this website to test out my typing skills.  He is always curious about how fast I can type, and it irritates him to no end that I touch type and can type on my computer while watching TV or looking at him and having a conversation.  [...]

The Wii Ain’t For Me

This past weekend Xander and I went to visit our friends Penny and Yuri.  They are housesitting for Yuri’s boss here in Rotterdam and it’s been great having them so close.  They live in Roosendaal, about a 35-40 minute drive from us, so we get together once every 1-2 weeks if we are lucky. The [...]

Gaming Week

This week I’m playing Lord of the Rings Online.  Xander has grown bored with World of Warcraft and bought LOTRO to try something different.   It came with a 7 day free trial for a friend so I installed it on my laptop to arse around with it.   It’s been a long time since I did [...]
