See you later, no Goodbyes ...

Every story has an ending and altough this ends with departure I think it's a good one. We had one hell of a time partying, drinking, studying (juuuuuust a little bit =) ) and enjoying each others company. No doubt we'll see each other again because after all, it's just a small world isn't it? Lets see if we can get a container website going to keep track of each others plans and stuff. And remember, this is just a 'see you later', not a 'goodbye'.

Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures

Walter Moers - Rumo & His Miraculous Adventures:

"Rumo is a little Wolperting who will one day become the greatest hero in the history of Zamonia. Armed with Dandelion, his talking sword, he fights his way across Overworld and Netherworld, two very different realms chock-full of adventures, dangers, and unforgettable characters: Rala, the beautiful girl Wolperting who cultivates a hazardous relationship with death; General Ticktock, the evil commander of the Copper Killers; Ushan DeLucca, the finest and most weather-sensitive swordsman in Zamonia; Volzotan Smyke, the corpulent Shark Grub; Rolv of the Forest, a Wolperting who can pass through the White Fire; Yggdra Syl, the guardian of the Nurn Forest and its talkative animals; Professor Abdullah Nightingale, inventor of the Chest-of-Drawers Oracle; and, the worst of luck, the deadly Metal Maiden. Astonishingly inventive, amusing and engrossing, Rumo is a captivating story from the wildly fanciful imagination of Walter Moers."

It's been a while ...

I know it's been a while since I last posted something here. It's been quite busy for me these last couple of weeks and only now, at 6:30 in the morning I find time for myself to think. My period in Groningen is comming to an end. Soon I will have to wake up (if I'll be sleeping that is) to transfer the temporary mountain of accumulated stuff from my room in the containers to the car. I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to everyone and I don't envy the ones who stay for a little while longer. It must be sad to see everyone take off and get on with their lives back home.

But it has been a good 5 months and it's a period in my life I will not forget. I met all these great people here and I do hope I can see most of them one time or another in the future. Lets see what the future has in stock for us all ... I do hope it's good things.

I'm adding another link sections to the site referring to books I recently read or I'm reading at the moment. So if you want to see what kind of stuff is being read by this fellow just click on the links. =)

Long Lost Humor

It seems I'm rediscovering long lost things these last couple of days. Yesterday I bumped into a link that led me to the site of 'Wulffmorgenthaler'. The site has cartoons with just an absurd sense of humor and ... I like it. I liked it before as well though, but I can't remember why I stopped going to the site. Anyway, I found it again so all is good.
