  • Two Stones in my Pocket


    Baby crossed an ocean just to see what she could see,
    half the world beneath her feet, a rose between her teeth,
    spent her lifetime loving, spent her lifetime living fine,
    but since you broke her heart,
    yeah she needs a little time, a little time, a little time.

    Before we were old memories and I guessed that we'd be fine,
    shooting stars still break her heart and sunsets make her cry,
    watch the birds fly over head, you can catch them if you try,
    watch the planes fly over head, you can catch them if you try,
    if you try.

    Two stones in my pocket girl, I keep them for my dreams,
    I give 'em both to you now cause you need them more than me,
    your mothers arms will keep ya safe wherever you may be,
    your mothers arms will keep ya safe however you may be,
    you may be, you may be.


    Baby crossed an ocean just to see what she could see,

    a little time, a little time.

  • I'm a very sad little maggy right now.... 


    tonight on my way home  after a meeting from the 'online infrastructure committee'  from sigchi.nl I slipped on the tram and one leg slid right in front of me, the other one kind of folded so I bumped my knee and the big toe of that foot kinda got bend in the wrong direction.


    I was helped back on my feet by my male companions and told that I did it very elegantly... but after standing in the tram for a while I had to go and sit tought I'd puke or  something...... now I feel better but my toe is already blue......


    good excuse for wearing sneakers to work tomorrow

  • On this week's quote
    Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. - Dostoyevsky


    I noticed this in me and I also notice that this is very much tru when telling people about E. and me ... but I also found out that once you face your fear and take that step... you feel sooooooooooooo much better...

  • I should do some work... but I'm not feeling like it... only i don't have time for this at work... will do it later...

  • Like this song a lot... borrowed Macy Gray's first album (on How life is) from a friend... hmmm good music


    I Try


    Games, changes and fears
    When will they go from here
    When will they stop
    I believe that fate has brought us here
    And we should be together
    But wer,e not
    I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
    I'll keep it cool but I'm fiendin.
    I try to say goodbye and I choke
    I try to walk away and I stumble
    Though I try to hide it it's clear
    My world crumbles when you are not near
    Goodbye and I choke
    I try to walk away and I stumble
    Though I try to hide it, it's clear
    My world crumbles when you are not near

    I may appear to be free
    But I'm just a prisoner of your love
    I may seem alright and smile when you leave
    But my smiles are just a front
    I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
    I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin
    I try to say goodbye and I choke
    I try to walk away and I stumble
    Though I try to hide it it's clear
    My world crumbles when you are not near

    Here is my confession
    May I be your possesion
    Boy I need your touch
    Your love kisses and such
    With all my might I try
    But this I can't deny
    I play it off but im dreamin of you
    I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin
    I try to say good bye and I choke
    I try to walk away and I stumble
    Though I try to hide it it's clear
    My world crumbles when you are not near

  • On the way home from tennis... I heard on the Radio that John Thaw had died..... Maybe You know him as Inspector Morse of Kavanaugh..... I really liked him as an actor... and well let's admit it he had gorgeous blue eyes (for those who know Inspector Morse ever noticed that he always wore something blue). Also he reminded me of my (dead) grandfather.....

    two on line artikels:


  • I did go for option two...so went to pick up my pics first... some are OK I think.. will scan some this weekend.... later on to Antwerp to get my ring:


    Also took some pics of the trainstation which I think is quite impressive:





    I had good train karma and weather karma  so I had a nice relaxed day... tennis tournament was fun only one match got cancelled and the one we did see was over in no time but we had fun haning out drinking free beers and stuff...
