The Dutch Files

Do you remember Robin? Who used to have a blog called “The Road Less Unraveled”? Well, she’s moved blogs, and this week she’s mah new Dutch-A-Pimpin’ bitch!

Robin’s got a new blog called “Life is Not a Movie” and well, I couldn’t agree with her more! Hell, it’s not, is it? Her own description of it is like this: Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose your future. Choose life…

What more can I add to that? It’s all about choices you make and what you do with your life (well, and then some of the shit that life throws at you, of course). Other than that I think that Robin is an awesome blogger, and a great chick! That of course… And that you should reaaaally go over to read her blog… that too… Because she does have shit to say… important shit, funny shit, great shit… that as well..

And not the least important thing, that you are supposed to come back over here… The regulars already know and you can see from the whip scars who has defied that order once or more often… The newbies… beware… I’ll be expecting you back here after visiting Robin… Just sayin’

Now click that thumbnail in the sidebar and go over to visit… tell her I sent ya! Skoot!

There is still vacancies in the pimpin’ quarters for the upcoming weeks. Wanna be pimped? Don’t be shy… It won’t hurt… much… I promise!!! Go HERE for information!

I don’t know what it is but it must be my karma finally changing… Or my lucky laptop mouse… or whuddevuh… but I manage to be the 999,999th visitor at almost every fucking website I visit… And I could apparently be winning prizes all around… at least that is what the website image always tells me…

I am pretty sure none of you have very often seen this happen, as *I* am always the one to be that lucky 999,999th visitor, so you can’t possibly have been so lucky to see this image displayed on your screen… I mean, ya know… if I get it all the time… what are the odds that you get it every once in a while… 999,999 to 1 or even less?

Yeah, so I figured that that wasn’t being fair on you guys. I am taking away all the prizes and shit… so I will step back from surfing the web for a bit and consequently increasing allaya chances of being the 999,999th visitor, for once, instead of it being me all the time.

Pay attention, as you have probably never seen it before: this is the kind of thing you should look out for… Don’t miss it!

Dear all current and future K2-expedition teams,

That K2 thing that you are climbing or getting ready to climb. That one that you are trying to reach the summit of? Yeah, that? It has re-located… It’s not in its usual location anymore.

It has re-located to my laundry room. It’s there now, disguised as a huge pile of laundry.

So, if suddenly you find yourself without a K2 to climb, if that mountain that is suppósed to be K2 doesn’t feel “right” to you, that’s correct. Pack up your stuff and get over here.

For your convenience, I’ve put up basecamp at the red sock.

Just so you know…

Sincerely,

OK so the one application on Facebook that has been able to hold my attention so far is Parking Wars… I know, y’all are getting frigging bored with it. I know! I’ve seen my list of friends on there diminish… I thought I would be too, but somehow it’s got a hold over me…

At first I thought I would be ok just getting to the 1,000,000 mark and getting a new car… No such thing… Me wanna more! On Saturday I finally topped the one friend that was above me in my Parking Wars list: Shelli (sorry Shell, I hád to take advantage of you being away from Facebook that one afternoon. She’ll be beating my ass again as soon as she’s back on there but at least I’ve seen my face at the top of the list just once!

But THE best part about Parking Wars is actually the fact that one of my colleagues -SLASH- girlfriends is on there. We try to beat one another all the time and though I am on there all the time, trying to save my cars from getting ticketed, if she gets the chance to ticket my ass, she does! Hard!

And ya know… that requires some retaliation… Nah, not ON Parking Wars, that would be too easy (besides, she’s too fucking smart and doesn’t park on “my street” that much anyway).

What happens is that I check Parking Wars in the morning, before going into the office. Yes, I know, I am pa-the-tic, but we’ve established that already on several occassions in the past years. So no news there. Anyway, if she has ticketed me I will be like “Godfuckingdammit! She did it again!”. Then drive to school to drop off The Kid, continue to the office, get to my desk, put away my handbag, start up my PC and while the latter is starting up, I will traditionally walk over to the office that she’s in (which she shares with 2 other post-doctoral researchers), open the door, peek my head thru it, look at her and say: “Ehm.. BITCH!” and walk off again…

Usually leaves the 2 other occupants of the office and several other colleagues that walk thru the hall coming into the office for the day looking puzzled… Especially as it happens fairly frequently and they know we are bestest friends…

I love being enigmatic at the office… Nothing like being a total mystery to people, heh
