From Boo to Boost

I am really grateful that Joanna over at A Cup of Jo posted about this website with very very very awkward family photo's. Because the pictures on this website have been giving me laughing fits for two days already now.

Go check it out.

It's hysterical.

I just wonder where they get these pictures from. Who would send in such pictures??

Annoyed

I am SO annoyed with Blogger because it doesn't do what I want (add some hard returns to last post)

PPFFFF

A bite of cheek

I have returned to normal life after finishing Twilight in a single day. Let me be clear about this: it's not a "good" book. But it is very addictive. Very entertaining. I can't wait to read the sequels.

I have to tell you about this really weird thing that happened to me while reading Twilight on the street though. This guy came up to me. He was maybe 45 years old, had a ponytail and was eating pistachio nuts.

- start -

Guy: Bonjour blablablabalabllaa

Bee: Parlez-vous Anglais?

Guy: Yessss... I was just saying you have beautiful eehh... cheeks! Cheeks! One like a tomate.. ehh a tomato... the other like a flower...

Bee: ????

Guy: Yesss... beautiful... where are you from?

Bee: Holland

Guy: Ah beautiful. I know Rotterdam. And Amsterdam. You know my friend told me I should act on my instinct and so I thought this girl has nice cheeks and I thought I must tell her!

Bee: Right

Guy: I am a poet. [Breaks out into French poetry rants] Would you like some pistachio nuts?

Bee: No thanks, I should go

Guy: I go to movies a lot. I get tickets because I am a poet. [Some more French poetry rants] Do you want my phone number so we can go to the cinema?

Bee: I don't think that's such a great idea, but thanks

Guy: Or my email?

Bee: No that's ok. I really have to go. Bye!

Guy: You know in French it is normal to give kisses on the cheek. But with you I would like to do something different.

Bee: ??

Guy: You know Transylvania? You know Dracula? Because you have cheeks like tomatoes and flowers, I would like to bite your cheeks. Let's do that.

Bente: ?!?!?!? No.

Guy: Oh but I am not crazy. I am not weird. It is not just because I want to bite your cheeks. But it rhymes with the poem I write about meeting you. [Another couple of lines of French poetry]. Only if I bite your cheeks it will rhyme. So can I?

Bee: ?!?! No!

Guy: Oooooh... Really? No bite? [Sees my face] Oh but then next time we meet, if destiny allows us, if fate allows us, then next time I can bite your cheeks right? [while grabbing my hand]

Bee: Um. I don't think so. Byeeeeeeeeee!

HOW WEIRD IS THAT?!?!

Well he sure wasn't the vampire boyfriend I was longing for while reading the book. Pff.

I'll stick with MrBee.

Cheese Love

I watched this guy on the market for a couple of minutes. He was picking up cheeses, pinching them, rolling them around in his hand.... Maybe it's a way to test the quality of the cheese. Or maybe he just liked the feel of it? I think I would...

Spring

When I walked out of the appartment building this morning, the sun and blooming trees made me so happy...

Too bad I have to work all day today. Inside. Because of security, windows cannot open and when the sun is out, my office is like a little greenhouse. But I think I'm just gonna sneak out around lunch time to go to a nearby market.... Might be able to get me some good French cheese there to take home to Dutchland this weekend. I will report later!
