Avanti!

No idea what that is but there you go. It's the word of the day.

Now. Suus is growing bigger and bigger. Luckily for her the holidays are around the corner and she won't have to think of work (outside the house) until somewhere in 2011. This is good for her. Let's face it: women get increasingly less interested and focussed whilst pregnancy goes on ... they've got enough on their mind and bodies as is so that the useless, everyday prattling of bosses and meetings are rendered a nuisance and utterly devoid of meaning.

Or so I am told.

Had a nice productive weekend though ... running, sporting, cleaning, breaking down stuff ... it's like a panic has taken hold to get stuff done. you know ... BEFORE THE BABY COMES!

Which, of course, is deeply ridiculous: the baby doesn't care one bit whether the room he's in has a Woezel&Pip theme or a pinstripe gray drab smear on the wall. But for some reason one comes to the conclusion that stuff has to be 'nice'. How and why this tendency comes to pass is a complete and utter mystery, of course, but you buy into it because it's all so fucking CUTE.

If and when there is a free way of getting one's head examined sign me up.

Leiden is fine. The work is still slightly ... muddled ... but there you go. Can't have everything. Although it's a lot like riding a bike in the dark. No way to know what the road looks like and where it is or when it ends but you cling to the fact that you at least know how a bike works and what one looks like and so you paddle on.

Unfortunately the block certain sites there ... how annoying. Less Farmville! Not exactly certain what their criteria are though ... I mean ... this: http://moonoverjune.com/ is still allowed ... and that is a comic mainly about lesbian sex. Which tries to be funny and sometimes is. I'll never understand company's IT department. You'd figure they'd scan for words like: 'cunt', 'fuck', 'ass', 'fist', 'tits' and any and all combinations of those ...
