Do you remember ages ago when I made a post about Fox News and their opinions on the Netherlands? Well, the bastards are at it again! Recently a video has come out where Bill O’Reilly gave his backwards opinions on Amsterdam. FU Bill O’Reilly, FU!!!
Sometimes I think this is more home than even I realize [...]
Growing up the child of a musician, I know how much their instruments mean to them. When I was younger I would never have dreamed of taking out my father’s guitar and playing with it, although I’m sure he would have loved if I’d wanted to later on. It’s their creative outlet and they choose [...]
If you had asked me a month ago if I had any space in my house I would have laughed. Between me, the pets, my husband and all our furniture I felt like we were completely crowded.
I SO wish I felt that way again right now.
My parents left this morning and if I’m honest, I [...]
There is something that’s been bugging me for a while, and I’m so about to rant about it.
At the moment the walkway in front of our building is like a minefield of dog shit. When we are going to the car or walking the dogs we have to watch every step we take because [...]
This is me.
This is me counting to ten.
This is me killing everyone in my immediate surroundings in a PMS Rage.
Today I am home having my turn to be with the plumbers and welders that are working on the pipes in the building. What started out as a leak in our bathroom has turned into a [...]
One (more) thing I love about where I work is the view. On the 10th floor in the middle of the city, I can see quite a lot. So if I have a minute it’s nice to watch people out and about doing their thing. It’s also nice when the sun is going down and [...]
Ok, enough is enough. This ongoing strike of the Writers Guild of America has got to stop! They are driving the viewers to desperate lengths, making us watch shows we might ordinarily avoid IF there was something better on to watch. Not only that, but they canceled our Golden Globes! Bastards!
Ok, I’m not totally [...]
This week I want Eneco (our current, and soon to be former, energy company) to FUCK OFF AND DIE! Argh, I hate them to the very core of my existence!!
When we got back from Canada we got a huge bill from them that we weren’t expecting, and the entire amount was taken out of [...]
Living outside of my home country, I download TV shows daily via Bit Torrent. There are a number of sites I belong to, some private, some public… and I depend on them to keep me up to date with the shows I am missing. Dutch TV leaves a lot to be desired so I’m [...]
Today I am FOADing the Canadian Embassy in The Netherlands, and possibly the Dutch influence on them. How friggin’ hard can it be to change your surname when you get married?! I mean, seriously!! These people make me insane!
I’ve been trying to sort out a new passport because we are going back to Canada in October on [...]
It’s thundering outside with some lightning but I never bother to look at the lightning here because you can’t actually see it. I wish we got really cool fork lightning here that I could take photos of, but we just get the white sky kind.
The closer it gets to summer the more and more [...]
I really wish I hadn’t already used my little Idol Voter Massacre Drawing for this season, I feel like I wasted it on that little fag Sanjaya when it would have gone to much better use today, after watching Melinda getting voted off.
It’s not because I really love Melinda or anything, I think she has [...]
Ok if I was a god I’d strike down on every person in America who has been voting for Sanjaya. Every year there’s someone who irritates me that for the life of me I can’t explain why he or she is getting votes. This year it’s him.
The fact that the American voting public are keeping [...]
This week’s Foad goes out to the British. Yes, all of them.
With my first month back to work almost complete, I have spoken to … or rather been hung up on or told off by more British people than I care to mention. In the most polite way possible, of course… they ARE British :P
Seriously [...]
It’s time for Foad Thursday once again. It’s been a few weeks since I took part and I just remembered that there was something I meant to bitch and moan about but was saving for a Thursday.
Spitters. I don’t like them and I’ll never understand them.
I don’t remember a time I’ve ever hawked up a [...]
This week I’m FOADing my husband and his World of Warcraft addiction. I am quickly reaching the end of my rope with it and I feel like a total hypocrite about it… but I don’t care. I’m sick to death of his gaming addiction.
Being a former gamer myself it’s hard not to feel like I [...]
There are any number of reasons I could be foading my body this week. I’m bloated, this cold and dry winter weather is making my skin dry, my hair is getting thinner and thinner due to that f’in PCOS and even though I’m not sick my nose won’t stop running. Oh yeah, good times!
None of [...]
This weeks FOAD is 100% dedicated to my cats. Don’t be fooled by the photo, they look cute but they are evil, pure evil!
By evil, I mean incredibly intelligent and crafty… and even a little insane.
In the past I’ve had moments where I was sure I was going to crack and give them away, [...]
I’ve been waiting for days to post about this because it is perfect for FOAD Thursday. It’s about those links, the scary ones. The ones people send you and say “Hey, can you see the difference in these photos?!” or “Listen to this song backwards, it’s funny!” or “Read this carefully, can you find the mistake?!”.
The [...]
This week’s FOAD is going out to the pancake makeup wearing, pissy attitude giving, hate-my-job-so-I-will-make-you-miserable waitress bitch I encountered yesterday.
Yesterday I went into town to meet up with a group of other expat women for a bit of shopping and lunch. After mass confusion and not being able to decide where to go for lunch, [...]
