Verdi runs departed drinks…

Monday, January 29th, 2007

But first things first, let’s start to mention that Friday was “kei-goed”, did some nice shopping for .lu together with Ronald. Found myself a small spare bike, so all of you who are coming over once: you’ll have some transportation!

But anyway: after dinner (yes, I can mess up rice :) (nonetheless it still all tasted nice, and the dessert was cool) it turned out that Ronald did have some drinks with alcohol in them left… well, not anymore :) So the next day started out slow — woke up, gamed a bit on my newly acquired LotR: 3rd Age (cool gamecube game, I have been meaning to get that for ages, found it together with Ronald for an affordable price) and then went on to more active things.

In the evening, after a lovely dinner, me and Ania went to Verdi’s Requiem — impressive. Got back just after the start of Running Man, which is ok as far as Schwarzenegger movies go. And it ended just in time for us to catch The Departed in the cinema :) That was a cool movie. The night ended with chatting a bit and a taste of some russian drinks (after we managed to get the annoying bottle cap removed, it turned out that the drink wasn’t worthy of that effort… the company however, more than made up for that :)

Sunday I just checked out LotR: 3rd Age a bit (still cool!), Super Mario World (saving is broken in my copy :() and went to see Bro. We had a nice improvised dinner (greek yoghurt works very well as a sour cream replacement :), tried to check out a movie but were to tired. We got to 00:38 of resevoir dogs — further than any of us two had ever seen it before :)

And that definitely is enough for now.

Nintendo fanboy alert

Okay, got my gaming vibe on, and scrounging the Net and the shops for stuff. Found a wonderful deal on play.com concerning the wireless controllers for the gamecube — so bought 2. For reasons unknown to mankind in general, Play ships these seperately (even though I ordered them together), but maybe the next one will be in time for my move. Would be cool.

More gaming vibes: found super mario world for the GBA on ebay. Woohoo! Now my proud collection of GBA games includes Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Wario Ware and Yoshi’s Universal Gravitation. Actually, that comprises the entirety of my proud collection :) But anyway, I really like SMB3 and SMW, and now I have them for the long journeys to and fro.

Final gaming vibe: found a (used) copy of “Lord of the Rings: The Third Age” yesterday at Replay. I’ve been wondering on and off whether or not to ebay this game, but for this price I couldn’t resist. Just played the first tutorial of the game… wow, impressive. Hope I get round to enjoying it :)

PS: also found a Zelda minish cap on offer on ebay… bought it, let’s hope this one arrives soon too.

There’s no place like home (x3)

My new homeSo, Sjouke made some pics and now you can all see a bit of Luxembourg right from the comfort of your seat. I especially like the below view of my new appartment building :)

Wonderful weekend!

Such a wonderful weekend deserves a blog entry, so here is one to commemmorate it! Yeah, I could write what happened – but that would never do justice to it. So no details :P

Okay, in a nutshell: dinner at the Thai, movies, talking, sleeping, breakfast, open market, new saddle, fitness, cardio, dinner, zouk/samba/salsa, “bloody diamond”, sleeping, breakfast, climbing, dinner, work, sleep.

Started blog!
