If blogging was a class, I'd fail it.

Lately I've become too lazy to write anything, as some of my readers (or simply "reader") have noticed. It doesn't really help that Blogger has become laggy as hell, either. Took me about 3 minutes just to get to the writing new posts area. I guess that's one way of 'persuading' everyone to change to the new Beta... Sooo anyway, since I find it harder to post lots of stuff, I thought I'd just put up some stuff to keep you guys busy as well :P

There's a Dutch saying that goes "Het beste vermaak is leedvermaak", meaning: there's no humor like painful humor (watch Jackass and see if you can keep a straight face). It's not just pain but simply bad things that happen to others. Well, I can tell you that my current habitat is getting really annoying to live in. I'm only here for three months, but exactly during this time the city has decided to do some maintenance at the streets in front of our house. Not only are they extremely noisy in the morning, but the streets are a mess too. But that's nothing compared to the pipe they hit a couple of days ago. The pipe that provides our shower with hot water.. Not only that, but the light in there got busted too a day earlier. Taking an extremely cold shower in the dark is no fun, I can tell ya.

There's this mosquito problem as well, they just don't seem to understand to stay away from me. Unfortunately, this current room provides enough hiding places, so I can't do a proper inspection before I go to sleep. Add to that a loftbed (a bed you have to climb up in to) and you'll find me falling off the stairs sleepily occasionally while trying to get the mosquito zapper.

But it's not all bad. I've recently discovered Whose Line Is It Anyway, the show that our Dutch program de Lama's was based on. It's an improv comedy show which is extremely funny, it takes some getting used to, but once you're familiar with how they do things, it's simply hilarious, especially the games that require singing. Just look for 'Whose Line' on youtube and don't forget to take the rest of the week off. There's a sample below: someone from the crowd is selected, and Wayne has to make up a song about her in a certain style. He doesn't know what topic it is about or what kind of style he has to sing it in, so he has to make it all up as he goes. Talk about adaptability.

Ah yes, I forgot the occasional water works.. Sometimes they have to shut down the water completely, meaning we won't have any water at all during a couple of hours in the morning..

And then non-usable water some more hours after that, since the water will be affected during the works (dirt, rust particles and that sort of things).

Yes, never a dull moment here, I can tell you that..

Hahah, well the part about Whose Line was supposed to keep everyone busy in the meantime :P

But yeah, I'm not like Boss Stewie who can chunk out blogs like he's got them stuck in his nose or anything.. ;)

But I do have some new pics (well, I have to get them first), I'll put those up soon
