I got praised at work today. I showed Sanne my work in progress. And she praised my choice of colour for the flyer and poster. "That's a very unusual yellow" she said. So I was thinking "oh great, she hates it. I'll have to pick a new one". But no no, she thought it was cool. So I was happy.

Yes, just trying to cheer up again. I had a dip in motivation but now I'm bouncing back. Focus on the nice things.

Like ducks.

And you know, just because life has come crumbling down and I am alone in the universe, it doesn't mean I don't want your panty pictures. In fact they would cheer me up. The page has been updated with Katherine's lovely snow greeting. Stuff like that is the salt on life's raisins.

Enjoyment also from wrestling. Smackdown? I think it's called. It's endlessly fun. Just to watch for a couple of minutes. It almost never fails to make me laugh. It's just so utterly insanely stupid. Wonderful. I can't watch it for more than a minute or two though. Which reminds me of 2 Fast 2 Furious. It was one of the movies I tried to watch when I was alone on vacation, to pass the time. I just couldn't watch it though. I kept saying things like "Wow, that was fast AND furious!" or "man, that was a fast and furious car" or "dude, that's TOO fast and TOO furious". It was just hard to take serious. I could imagine a whole episode of MST3K where they watched the movie and all they said was things like "fast and furious, that's what this is!" and so on.

Oh well, small things please small minds.

I am still swaying from the train rides. I can't stand absolutely still. I wonder if I have some sort of balance deficiency. I'm not sure I mind though. At least it's... different. It's not so bad to have the world bouncing around a little.

I'll finish off today with three pictures from the beginning of the year.

Fireworks a little after midnight on new years. It gets so cold outside and my camera gets slower and it gets harder to capture a good firework explosion. It's my continuing mission every new years to get a good firework picture.

Clouds. From above. Sitting in the plane on the way to the Netherlands. In space no one can hear you scream.

And the sunrise above it all. Unfortunately rain and greased windows sort of ruins the picture. It was beautiful though. Eating breakfast while the sun rose above the clouds.

Just be glad the vacation went to hell, otherwise there would have been another 50 pictures in this entry. But now it's sort of pointless. Don't really want to remember too much of it anyway. Only the sense of flying.
