1. Vandals mutilated a 16th century painting in the St-Baaf Abbey in Gent. I do not get how you can be so disrespectful towards your heritage.

2. Just watched "Chasing Amy. I'm not a Ben Afflick fan, but I liked the movie. Huldon is an idiot though! How could he be such a dumbass and propose that to her? Geez! How thick can you get? *sighs* Poor Alyssa.

3. Excitment about the Europian sattelite finding water on Mars. Bwah, a nice snide remark about how they weren't running ahead of themselves with big ideas like going to Mars. It's still in our far future. But yeah, chances are the US will try to come up with something bigger, will look good for Bush's campaign. The scientist said that a project as big as Bush has in mind is something that could only happen if everyone puts their heads together instead of being chauvinistic. But he said of course people felt proud about Europe discovering the water. My guess; that cooperation is still a while away.

4. I'm itching. I want to write. I can feel it tickle under my skin. A feeling of expectancy is building up in the pit of my stomache and I wonder what lies within. Sadly enough, the muse has no idea what to put on paper.

Whoops, hope I'm not too late (I probably am, sorry!)

HAPPY
BIRTHDAY

Let's just get some things straight

Quoted from Michael Jackson, no the other one!
(Hey, if you're an investigator, you can find out where I live cause my hometown is mentioned somewhere on the site. My sisters have both worked at the restaurant of one of the local breweries and I have been in the brewery as well.):

Belgian beers have become fashionable, yet the pleasures they offer have been truly explored by only a discerning minority of drinkers. The rule, never ask for "a beer" applies especially in Belgium. Such a request will bring forth a perfectly acceptable lager of a type, but one that could just as easily be found in many other countries. The great beers of Belgium are not its lagers. Its native brews are in other styles, and they offer an extraordinary variety, some so different from more conventional brews that at the initial encounter they are scarcely recognisable as beers. Yet they represent some of the oldest traditions of brewing in the Western world.

No other country (even those with far more breweries) has among its native styles of beer such diversity, individuality, idiosyncrasy and colour. Nor does any other country present beers so beautifully. Belgian brewers often use wired and corked Champagne bottles, and serve each beer in its own shape of glass, ranging from flutes to snifters and chalices. It is something of a Belgian speciality to bottle beers with a sediment of live yeast, so that they can be laid down to mature. This technique is usually indicated on the label by the phrase "re-fermented in the bottle" (Refermentée en bouteille / Hergist in de fles ).

The most beautiful thing to wake up to in the morning;

Hya!Spam! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Letter from a reader in the paper

The headdress is discriminatory towards men. It implies that the mere sight of a pluck of hair, a knee, or any bare skin of a woman will drive the man crazy. It's saying that men are controlled by their hormones instead of their reason and are incapable of controlling their sexdrive. Isn't that discriminating? Isn't that implying that men hasn't evolved over the centuries and is still driven by an animal instinct that determines their behaviour completely?

So all men should rise up to this injustice and prove that they are more than just a bunch of hormones!
