It's Tuesday and that means Blogging! I had an interesting weekend. On saturday some friends came over to BBQ with Myr and me. Homemade burgers, asparagus with sesame oil and seeds, garlicky tomatoes, bread dough with knakworsten, aubergines, sausages and lots of other meat things i forget about now. There was plenty of beer and wine and it was a very fun night! We later had a fire where we toasted marshmallows.
Sunday was hot! Eddy had slept over the night before and he spent the day hanging out with us. Myrna felt like hapjes somewhere in the afternoon so me and Eddy loped off to the snack bar where we bought raspatat met pindasaus and bitterballen. I have no clue what raspatat is in English, nor do I know how to translate bitterballen except to say I don't think bitterballs quite sums it up!
Sunday evening was very weepy and meepy on my behalf. I near bit Myr's head off several times during the night when she would remind me of things I had missed or had not done or had forgotten about. That wasn't fun!
Monday was a much better day because in the evening, I met Myr, Sipke and Roland at a restaurant called Four Roses, a mexican restaurant and there I ate enchiladas with cheese. Way too much cheese! An overload of cheese. After there, we cycled to the nearby cinema where we met Olaf, Rinse and Michiel and watched 'Paul'. It was not my favourite Simon Pegg film but I enjoyed it. Some of the humour was a bit repetitive after a while but I very much enjoyed all the geeky injokes. I also like that you can buy big bottles of Grolsch and take them into the screen with you! I made some vague plans with Sipke to go see Insidious when it comes out and somewhere this week he'll come over to watch the fourth episode of Game of Thrones.
For those of you reading this who don't know, A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin is my favourite fantasy book series of all time. It's great. Great characters, great story, and he is very cruel to his characters! So I was beyond excited about the new series. I have now seen three episodes and I had assumed it would sort of be my new addiction and I'd be totally hooked from the pilot onwards! However I thought the acting in the pilot was a bit wooden and of course there wasn't the same depth to the characters that I had come to love and hate in the books. But okay, it was the pilot, things are just warming up. The second episode was in my opinion a lot better. Even the acting was better. (Anyone else think that Kit Harington as Jon Snow is just another Legolas type?) But it hadn't hooked me yet. Sipke pointed out that it was because we know the books so well and the series is so faithful to those books that it feels like we've seen it all before. I'm interested to know what people who have never read the books think. Does it still make sense without all the backstory? The third episode was great and the scene between Arya and her dancing teacher was even better than in the books. I think it's beginning to reel me in now but it's taking its time to do so.
Today I have been to work at the restaurant and done the things on my schedule (this blog being the last thing to do) and then at 15.30 I cycle to my other job at the mercedes place. This evening Myr and me are going to her colleague's place for dinner and boardgames so that'll be fun.
The above clip is of Blizzard and Gizmoo play-fighting. Well it was sort of play-fighting, but Blizzard was also having a 'I'm The Boss' day. Ooh my Dad was very cool in that he sent me some videos of my little sisters dancing to Lady Gaga's Born This Way. It was very fun to see!
Now I have a Myr's shoulders to massage. Until Friday, folks...
