I should know better.

Every day – and I literally mean every single day – I do things that can only be qualified as ‘stupid’. Actually, plainly and undeniably stupid. For no other reason than me, apparently, being a stupid person. Yet, every time I undertake one of these stupid endeavors, I am well aware of the fact that

Personal Blogging – The I-thing

One of the lessons about writing that’s stuck with me throughout my entire writing career (even though calling my writing endeavors a career is very ambitious) is a very simple one. You should not start a sentence with I. Not only does it apparently feel like an eyesore – it also quickly turns repetitive, is

Wee smirk

Man, I’m a sucker for accents. Totally and completely smitten with people who take sounding charming-as-fuck to the next level by putting a special layer of awesome on every word they speak. It’s probably a remnant from my youth-trauma, growing up as ‘a Limburger‘. Limburg, for the Non-Dutch out there…is a province round here in

Resolutionizing – May

Did we make it through the snow and drizzle? I sure fucking hope so!The massive sunburn I got yesterday when playing my first baseball-match (a 10-3 victorrrrryyyyy!) of the year-post-corona definitely suggests we might be on the road to better weather. And with better weather, come better moods. At least, for me. I’m a total

Nostalgia Googling

Every now and then I get these moments where I suddenly see something that takes me back, way back. Moments where old memories come rushing in and where I’m flooded with nostalgia. Not saying that I’m THAT old, looking back on a life well-lived, but I just apparently have one of those brains that makes

Defuse

Everyone gets angry sometimes. Even the people who never seem to get angry. Those are apparently the ones to watch out for. You don’t have to watch out for me. Except for when I’m wielding a baseball bat. Or am unfed. And you proceed to piss me off. To be fair, that’s not TOO hard.

Roots.

Just so you know – I dreamed the newest Disney movie today. A lovely girl, pride of her village of birds, is taken to flight rock as a part of growing up. She is the kindest, most beautiful, loveliest of all the birds. And it’s her time to learn to fly, and unite with a

Relative anonimity

Do you remember phonebooks? The paper kind. Huge thick books that got delivered to your house every year containing the names, addresses and landline numbers to everyone you ever knew. Conveniently sorted village by village so that you could know pretty much everyone in your neighborhood without ever meeting them. And everyone was fine with

Juicy buns

I’ve had a couple of workdays in the office this month. HIGHLY EXCEPTIONAL. And thus…sorta special. I dress up for the office. I do. When I go into work it’s pencil skirts and curvy dresses. High heels and blazers. You dress for the job you want, not the job you have. And I wanna be

Good enough

They say we’re not strong enough. Cause we’re women. And I get it. They didn’t make us strong enough. They say we’re not smart enough. Cause we’re women. And I get it. They didn’t make us smart enough. They say we’re not forceful enough. Cause we’re women. And I get it. They didn’t make us
