Letter meme

Posted by Rob (#1) on July 31, 2006 07:57 CEST

This is a meme I saw at Inge's LJ some time ago. How it works:

Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation what the word means to you and why, and than pass out letters to those who want to play along.

Inge threw an E at me. Quite a tough letter, so it took me a while. Here we go:

Eindhoven. I studied there and the city hosts my favourite football team PSV Eindhoven. And let's not forget Eindhoven is close to Veldhoven, where Inge lives!
Epitaph. Home to The Offspring, Heideroosjes and HorrorPops, to name but a few of my favourite bands on this wonderful label.
England. Sort of my second home, or at least London definitely feels like it.
English. Not quite the same as England, but I like the Anglosphere and feel quite comfortable communicating in English. (Six more words, damnit!)
Ezri Dax. I have a geeky side (I am engineer after all) and openly fancy Ezri Dax, fictional character from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, one of my favourite television shows.
Eveline. My sister. :-) Note to Inge: no, I'm not referring to Eef as my sister-in-law.. Feline's my step. Soz.
Engineering. Hey, engineering. Glad I mentioned being an engineer earlier, I'm seriously running out of steam here. Well, my job description says software engineer. So engineering seems to be be meaningful to me!
European Union. I'm not always too happy with the bureaucratic bunch in Brussels, but I am considered a citizen of it.
Eliza Dushku. Hot women never bore me, so I suppose I'd better mention a celebrity whose name begins with an E.. and I think that out of those Eliza is the hottest and not just because you can play some Tetris with her, but because Faith was cool.
Emmaus College. First high school I attended (we moved so I had the pleasure of experiencing two different ones).

I made it! Thanks Ig, but next time please throw me a freaking Q or Z because I'd probably be finished sooner.. this took me how many weeks? Too many.

As the meme said, drop a comment if you want to play along and I'll assign you a very nice letter. Most likely the ß, ø or š for anyone who's going to be mean about the fact that I used to be a Trekkie. ;-)

Holland 1 - Serbia and Montenegro 0

Yay for Holland! I went to Eindhoven today. Rail works made the travel parts of the trip somewhat annoying as I had to take a detour over Utrecht which almost double the Rotterdam-Eindhoven journey, but other than that I had a wonderful time watching the Holland game with Inge. Both dressed in regular black, but check my photography for some of the orange silliness currently affecting this country.

Cheap Thrills tonight

Gigs

Posted by Rob (#1) on March 10, 2006 19:46 CET

No more fever and the weekend has started: time for a gig! Cheap Thrills tonight, at Eurodusnie in Leiden. Should be a good opportunity to catch up on their lyrics before the video recording in Haarlem on Sunday.

And it's a very good excuse to finalise that MMS update feature if not solely for the reason I almost never manually transfer pictures from my phone to then post them on my site. Maybe tomorrow, even though I'm going to Eindhoven for Inge so I don't know where to find the time.
