I have been so busy, weeks fly by and turn into months. It has been crazy, at work and in general busy busy busy is all I can say. And when I am behind my computer I am usually doing some writing. But there are some things which I just don’t seem to get around to. I hate that but I am doing the best I can, and in the end that is all I can do.

Though I have taken up an old hobby, I am skating again. And I love it just as much as I always used to, and it makes me wonder why the hell I ever stopped. The answer is pretty simple if I think about it. I moved out of my parents house and in the part of the city where I used to live they only had these road with small stones and really uneven sidewalks which is only good for breaking your neck.

Here this new place where I moved to is never, the roads are mostly asphalt or at least a lot better. And just around the corner there are multiple parking places to choose from if I want to skate.

I have mostly been focusing on cone skating, which rocks. I love it! Plus it really helps that nowadays we have youtube which is a great source of tutorials.

Oh yes I have bought new skates by the way, the best skates I ever owned and not even that expensive. And I have some new wrist guards and cups so that I can practice some tricks. And I am not saying that I am any good at it but I have been learning a couple of different moves.

But as it is with all things there is still lots and lots to learn.

This is one of the tricks that I have learned myself, I mean well I might not do it as stylish as that yet but I am getting there, give me some time.

But this second video is the thing which I really would like to learn, make endless combination which will make your head spin. I am not sure if I will ever learn it but I will at least have fun trying it. If only I could learn how to skate backwards that would be helpful but I just don’t seem to be able to get the hang of it.

I was listening to the radio today and they where talking about this very special live performance that Lady Gaga did on ‘Mooi weer de Leeuw’ a dutch television program. Since I absolutely love Lady Gaga’s music … it is so not the type of music that I usually listen too but hey I like that song ‘Pokerface’ a lot.

I know it has been a while again, and what can I say. It is as if I can't get a break. First of all I thought that I had everything figured out and that I would finally get it a little bit easier that I could focus some more on my creative goals and that I would be able to write some more. But unfourtunatly nothing is more true. I in fact had it so busy these last couple of weeks that I hardly could do anything besides the things which I needed to do.

Let me start at the beginning.
A couple of weeks ago my boss asked me if I could help him out with the design of the company website since we are in desperate need of a new website I of course said that I wanted to help him. So these past couple of weeks a lot of time at work and at home has gone to the website so that I could help him out. Which is good and I really don't mind but it is a lot of work especially because things keep on changing all the time which means that I have to change the files all the time. So that has been what I have been working on these past couple of weeks.

And then there is some asshole who hacked my blog twice in one week. So once I asked my hostingcompany to put the latest backup back for me and before I had a chance to change all the passwords and stuff it was hacked again which leads me to believe that there was already something in that latest backup which screwed it all up. So between all the work that I already had I am now also trying to put my website back online. Something which always costs more time then you first think. Especially when you ask the hosting company if they can help you and their answer is simply to aks the webmaster …. ehm yeah I am that webmaster. I am the one who codes, writes, designs and makes this website and I need help. My email stating that I was that webmaster received no reply whatsoever. So in the best way I know I have changed, adjusted and fixed my website and kept it online but hidden for the general puplic for over a week to see if something would happen. So far so good, but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I am actually so far behind that I already should have written a piece for Eurout weeks ago and I just can't seem to get it done. Each time I sit down to work on it I am interupted and I have to do something else. And then there are of course also my reviews which I write for NCIS and Dollhouse. I am two weeks behind on NCIS and actually only a day behind with Dollhouse. But now it is Eastern and it won't get done till at least tomorrow evening. And that is exactly what I mean when I say that it seems as if I can't get a break.

I have just been incrediby busy with all kinds of things and the few hours of spare time that I have I have been skating. Which used to be an old hobby of mine. But I actually stopped doing it when I left my parents house. Why? I don't know, I loved it. But well I guess that first of all it has something to do with the neighbourhood where I lived. The roads where bad and the sidewalks too, they where much too uneven to do some good skating so I basically stopped skating.

A few weeks ago I was thinking about what I wanted to do. I hated going to the gym, in fact I never liked it and I never saw the results of working out in te gym. So I was thinking about it and I called up my parents and asked if they could give my skates to my sister and asked them to bring them with them for me. So I tried skating on my old skates but they in fact have been lying in the gardenhouse for six years is not a good things. So I went out and bought some new ones. WIth soft boots and a metal frame. And three different manners of tieing them up. All the things I was looking for in new skates and only 59 euros.

Luckily for me I bought those skates the week before the spring started. Only one week later the exact same skates costed 89 euros. So I am one lucky gal with new skates and a new way to improve my health. So as I have said many hours have been spend on my skates already and many more will follow. I am determined to learn myself how to do some nice cone skating/freestyle skating tricks. It is a lot of work but I can do it, maybe not as good as I wanted to but I will manage to at least learn some new tricks.

Youtube by the way can be a very helpfull source since there are many movies which show you how to perform the tricks and how not to. I really like that we already had some pretty good weather even though it still is so early in the year since that means that I have a lot of time to skate.

I am gonna stop now. I want to write some more soon but this is all for now. It should be the first thing that you see when I am finally opening my website back up to the public.

See you all soon!

So I heard about this new thing, well maybe not new per se. But I
never heard of it before. It is called posterous and you can use it to
update your blog through email. Which can be quite a nice feature. So
that would explain why I am writing this post, I just want to check if
it works and what a post will look like on my regular blog.

Yes, Richts is right! It does work which is good cause that could mean that it would be easier to update sometimes in certain cases.

I got the ticket to see the three day festival this year again, May 30th, 31st and June 1st. I am so looking forward to it!!! I just love it, I am glad that I got the ticket they are selling out fast, really quickly.

The line-up is great, really something to look forward to. Man! I wish it was May already.  Damn! I want it to be May already but then when it is May it all goes way too fast. It is always something isn’t it!

Chantal tagged me to do this, I have done it a couple of times before. Just get your Itunes to play a couple of songs and add them to the category which is next on your list. That’s all, you can try it too if you like. Here is the result of my latest list;

Waking Up: Holiday in Spain – Counting Crows
Falling In Love: Runaway – Avril Lavigne
Fight song: Nobody knows – Pink
Break up song: Out is through – Alanis Morissette

Happy Dance: Imaginary – Evanescence
Regret: Our battles – Maria Mena
Final Battle: Would that make you love me – Robin Thicke
Death Scene: This time around – Hanson
Final Credits: It’s all your fault – Pink

That should be an interesting story … lol if I look at these songs it just make me wonder.

If you know me then you know that I love witing, and of course you wonder and say; But you haven’t been writing in a while. And at first glance that might seem right. But I have been working about some things. Even though it might not have been so visible for you.

I have been writing for The Two Cents where I currently cover two shows, one is NCIS and since three weeks also Dollhouse, Joss Whedon’s new show. Which I love by the way, who doesn’t like Eliza Dushku and Amy Ackerman.

And as off last week I will also be contributing to Eurout.org, so far I have only written one piece but I am looking forward to writing more. My first piece is about a singer named Justine Electra.

And deleted the database to my blog … oopsie! I was supposed to be deleting something else a different database. But I didn’t and since I didn’t back up the last for posts they are gone forever. Unfourtunatly, luckily I still know most of the things that I wrote and I will make a similar post later this week about the past two months.

Hopefully you guys will still read my blog even after some of the dumb stunts I pull. Anyway, since I lost the database of the last couple of posts I thought what the heck and I deleted everything on my website and reuploaded everything, including after a long struggle with my database I was even able to put the old database back up. I had already tried up but when I first restored my website I wasn’t able to do it.

Well it worked this time around so all of the old posts can be read again. I am so glad I haven’t lost them. There are some important things on their which I like to keep.

Aparently the concept of moving is very hard to grasp for some people especially when you are moving from a place where you pay everything included to a place where you have to take care of everything yourself. I am doing that right now so there is lots of stuff that I have to take care of. Making sure that I am receiving water, gas, electricity, internet, television. Making sure that everyone gets my new adres especially companies like insurance agencies and more like that. Making sure that family and friends receive your new info. Believe me it is a fulltime job.

Add to that the fact that I am moving into a new apartment as the first renter which is great it also means that I need wallpaper for every room, flooring for every room. Furniture not to forget and that I have to visit a lot of stores to buy or order all of those things. And then when you have bought it or ordered it you have to work a lot of hours to get everything the way you want it.

And not to forget it is also December which means the busiest time of the year so I could only get one day off and I had to work overtime. And each day after work I either went to the apartment to work there or went to stores to buy or look for things that I need.

There hasn’t been one day where I was home before 8.30 PM most days it was a lot later. And if I was home at 8.30 PM I was home to pack up my belongings or to send out requests or orders through the internet.

So no of course I haven’t been online … there is too little time to do all the things that I have to do. And since my own internet/television connection will not be before the 22st of January I am pretty sure that I won’t be online much either in the following month.

Merry Christmas to everyone and a happy new year.

Angelique

Damn! I got it!!!!

My own apartment, I can’t believe it!!!!
It is so nice, and big and beautiful! It is completely new … and it is mine! 50 meters for me and me alone, with my own kitchen and bathroom.

On December 9th I get the key.

This is the floorplan of my apartment, it is huge compared to what I have right now.
Picus Park, the new living area in Eindhoven. Five minutes from the city center by foot. Ten minutes from the railway station and about seven minutes from the Effenaar ( the concert venue ) where I often go to for concerts.

This is the first part of ‘Picus park’ which is done. Fase 1 includes the building which I am going to live in for young people mostly people who are living alone. A building for older people and several types of houses for families ( with or without kids ). The building which I am going to live in is the grey building at the left side of the drawing.

And here is an image of building. On the right side not on the ground level but on the first floor will be my apartment. The window on the side, the two next to it and the glass build-out are mine.
