Just a few minutes ago I got an SMS from my bestest friend Menno who's on a rock climbing holiday in France.
Hey how you doing? I'm fine, again. Had two very exciting days. We were caught unawares by a thunderstorm while on a wall. Had to bivouac on a ledge 80m above ground. Tried to climb further after a very cold night but was dehydrated, malnourished and exhausted. We called for help and were extracted by a rescue chopper. Now I'm leaning back, relaxing and enjoying the sun.
Holy shit dude! Don't scare us like that! I'm glad you're okay though... Wouldn't miss you for the world! ^_^

*phew* What a weekend...
Yesterday and today were spent shopping, shopping and shopping some more. We bought at least four hundred euros on essential baby stuff, like clothing, other textiles and bathing goods. Aside from that we also went to check out some better fitting clothing for Marli, though that didn't turn out too well. Our lunch at Ikea was alright though :)

I just took a test drive in the
Honda Civic Hybrid and sweet Jeebus is that a great car! It's good looking, it's spacious and it's very feature-complete.
Things that I noticed:
* It's very quiet.
* It's very easy to accidentally drive faster than you were planning to.
* The controls are quite sensitive, much more so than those in our VW's.
* The dashboard may seem very deep/huge, but it doesn't bother you one bit while driving.
* All-round visibility is excellent, although the side mirrors could be a bit wider.
* Even though it's a 1.3l hybrid, it's got energy to spare. This thing wants to go!
And all of this can/will be ours to drive in a few months :) My new employer will get one of these for me as part of my benefits package. Nice! ^_^

Ho. Ly. Crap.

This is the first anime that I knew I -had- to own after seeing only five minutes of it.
Imagine if you will a drama loosely based on Shakespeare's
Romeo and Juliet, set in a Renaissance fantasy setting. A story of treachery, of cruelty and of impossible love. A story of warring families and of fantastical scenery.
That is
Romeo X Juliet.
I watched the first episode without any subtitles. I didn't care! The characters are so vivid... They speak to you. Or at least to me. The designs are very clean, but never boring or harsh. It's all rather overwhelming. Or maybe I'm just tired :D
But seriously, if this stuff ever comes out on DVD with english subs... I'm -so- getting it. It's beautiful.
Trailer for Romeo X Juliet.

Menno, I don't know why it took me so long to go and watch
this movie (seeing as how you gave it to Marli for her birthday almost a year ago), but I did tonight.
Wow...
That is all.
