HWH was bugging me  way too long to blog this. So here it goes. I did some garden renovation. You can view it on my picasa.  The garden is almost finished, I probably need more plants. But lets see first how the ones I have now grow.

But my garden is really finished when I have my first barbecue in it :P

I was supposed to go see Avatar 3D  with my department 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately I just got back from Egypt and had to stay very close to the bathroom if you know what I mean. Yesterday I had the opportunity to see the movie with friends. Also in 3D.  The 3D glasses is something I really need to get used to.  If you are wearing glasses yourself they can be a pain. Especially when the movie is 2+ hours.

Is it really a plus to watch a movie in 3D? I would say yes and no. It looks awesome in a lot of scenes when you pay attention. For example scenes like the jungle shots in Pandora. But when you are in a movie, you are in the movie. 2D or 3D to me it does not make a difference.

The movie itself was quite awesome. Something completely new to me.  A very good mix between animation and live acting. When you have a chance go watch it. 2D or 3D… whatever :-)

Lots of things can happen in 48 hours as shown in the pictures below…

It has been a while for me to go to a concert. Fortunately I have two juicy ones on their way:

Especially looking forward to Anneke’s concert. I seriously hope Epica is making up from their last concert in Hedon in Zwolle which was for me way to loud. (in volume not in music style ;-) ) But that can be fixed with ear plugs.

Being offline for about a month taught me a couple of things:

1. An ISP’s help desk does not know a thing
2. Ranting at the help desk does work!
3. There are  a lot of companies involved to give me and maintain my Internet (4 to be precise)
4. Verminators on Discovery is a cool show
5. Dirty Jobs also.
6. I prefer Les more than Bear as a survival guy.
7. Dutch TV is horrible.
8. I am very edgy when I have no Internet for three weeks. Not good for my neighbourhood. In the fourth week I was more laid back.
9. Call with the mobile to an help desk is expensive
10. And again: an ISP’s help desk does not know a thing

After crashing our Reely toy plane. We managed to patch it up again using Styrofeam. The nose is completely replaced. See the photos:

After the crash of yesterday we bought special glue. To test the glue we patched up our broken Silverlit Boeing plane . (It broke in pieces last year after 2 flights). It flies again. Nose broke after this flight, but the glue can fix that.

Two videos of our 60 euros Toy Plane.

A good flight:

and it’s last flight:

After Brasil in September it is time for my next goal: visit the pyramids of Egypt. I am very fascinated by the rich history of Egypt. Fortunately a friend shares the interest. We will be going on a 14 day trip visiting all kind of tourist places like Cairo, Gizeh, Alexandria, Luxor and Aswam. I have to wait a while though. We leave December  3rd.
