Echo
Gisteren hebben we nog eens een echo gehad bij dokter John. Ons kindje meet nu 34 cm, allez tis te zeggen: de dokter denkt dat ze 34cm meet, want ze ligt in een bolleke gerold. Lengte, gewicht, groei, alles is mooi in proportie en op de groeicurve liggen we nu op 55%. Dat is dus net boven het gemiddelde. Baby is gezond en wij zijn gelukkig.
De goden lachen, de goden fronsen en wij hebben het goed.

Weekend Review
Het weekend was hard. Vrijdagavond onze tent gaan zetten bij de Steven, zaterdag ochtend de container gaan vullen bij de familie Mertens-Sterkendries (die hadden ne getemde beer vastgekregen om te helpen), dan gaan werken en dan aan het kampvuur gaan zitten. Dat kampvuur bij de familie Eulaers-Verbeeck was een ongezien succes: 20 mensen rond een gezellig knisperend vuurtje, gitaartje erbij... was erg leuk! Het was al een tijdje geleden sinds we nog in de tent geslapen hadden, maar het was nog even comfortabel. 's Morgens was het iets minder: zon op rond 6 uur, te warm in de tent rond 9. Met 4 uur slaap aan de ontbijttafel rond 11 uur: priceless :)
Ik heb de zondag niet veel meer uitgestoken tot mijn mama me om 12 's nachts wakker belde. Onze Stef zijne auto was aangereden in Aarschot. Een of andere klootzak was van de baan afgeweken, had de koffer geramd, een stuk van de haag meegeschept en had een vluchtmisdrijf begaan. Het was zondag mijn broer zijn verjaardag. Hij werd 22jaar. Ik kom daar aan, onze Stef was wat door elkaar geschud maar thank god niet gekwetst. Samen gewacht op de takelwagen, op de flikken, dan naar den buro en dan heb ik hem naar huis gedaan. Ik vond het nogal klote voor hem: nieuwe auto, zijne verjaardag en dan zo'n laffe daad. Shit man, ik was lastig. Dus ben ik nog een beetje in Aarschot blijven rondrijden. Ik bedoel, ge doet niet zo'n accident om dan op het gemakske naar huis te bollen. Als de vluchtmisdrijver zat was, moest hij nog in de buurt zijn. Na een paar toertjes in Aarschot had ik hem gevonden: Bordeau Renault Megane (de oude megane). De hele flank was er af. Nummerplaat genoteerd, flikken gebeld. 5 minuten later stonden ze ernaast. And justice for all. Ik hoop dat ze em diezelfde nacht nog van zijn bed gelicht hebben.
Toch nog gelukkige verjaardag kleine. Ik ben blij dat ge ongedeerd zijt.

De foto uit de Lorre zijn comment. Commodore 64. Heb ik maar erg zijdelings gekend, ik was nog te jong in die tijd. Ik kan me wel nog herrinneren dat ik het erg vreemd vond dat ge cassetjes kon gebruiken die ook in uwe walkman pasten.
Die grote flappige floppies kwamen hier net na denk ik.

Angstige berichten
Gemiste oproep om half 4, Laurent was aan de lijn: "Sam, Sam kunt ge me terugbellen het is nogal dri...." en dan niets meer. Precies alsof er iets verschrikkelijks was voorgevallen. Ik bel, half in paniek terug om een koor van collega's te horen "Happy Birthday" te zingen.
Daar hadden ze me even. :)

Stripboeken
Jahaaaa! Vandaag is mijn verjaardag en Kristin heeft met in het Besloten land losgelaten. (Vandaag ook nog de laaste HP gekregen, dus mijne hof gaat efkes blijven liggen zenne.)
Nieuw in de cataloog:
Leo en Icar - Verre Werelden
Nieuw project van de meester himself: Leo. Icar is een stevig tekentalent, maar ge voelt toch het gewicht van Aldebaran, Betelgeuze, Antares en Kenya wegen op zijn hand. Veelbelovend ding, niet zeker hoeveel titels daar weer van gaan volgen.
Duval, Gioux, Quet & Beau - Hauteville House 5:USS Kearsarge
Hardcover only natuurlijk. Ik dacht dat de cyclus afgesloten was na de vierde editie (Atlanta), ik had het bij het verkeerde eind. Echte Steampunk in de trant van HellBoy, Golden Compass, Van Hellsing (het gaat om het magisch realisme, niet de verhaallijn, natuurlijk) Echte absolute aanrader (maar ge moet wel de hele reeks ineens in huis halen)
Leo - Antares 2
Tweede deel in de derde cyclus van de Leo's magnum opus De Werelden van Aldebaran. Ik volg de serie al van 1994, toen de Nederlandstalige vertalingen nog niet op de Vlaamse markt beschikbaar waren. Ik heb een hele tijd geleden mijn originele Franse exemplaren op ebay gezet en met die centen de hele eerste reeks in het Nederlands gekocht. Vandaag, 5 jaar later kan ik me daarvoor wel voor het hoofd slaan :)
Leo's werk is zo uitgespreid in de tijd omdat hij zijn zeer uitgebreid universum tot in de kleinste details bespreekt, weergeeft en verklaart. Zijn werk is voor de 9de kust wat Tolkien was voor de Hoofse fantasy.
Bec & Henninot - Carthago 2: Challenger Deep
Tweede deel uit een stevige cylcus die momenteel uit het Frans vertaald wordt. Het is weer een tijd geleden sinds ik het eerste deel gelezen heb, dus ik moet hier wat info schuldig blijven. De tekenstijl is angstaanjagend, de dialogen zijn beklijven en het speelt zich af op de plaats waar de zee het diepst is, wat wil je nog meer?
Arleston & Floch: Ythaq 6: Pionnen in opstand
Scenario is van Arleston, mijn allerfavoriet in de hele wereld :)

Twilight
Ondanks het feit dat Kristin en haar zussen kompleet geobsedeerd zijn rond alles wat met Twilight te maken heeft, heb ik toch getracht er hier zo weinig mogelijk over te spreken. Ik wil nog getrouwd blijven.
Ik wil het volgende wel met jullie delen:
1. Vampieren glinsteren niet. (Ook niet in het fokking zonlicht)
2. Wat gebeurt er als Bella haar regels heeft? Seriously?

Harry Potter - De Halfbloed Prins
Ik ben een fan, ik ontken dat niet. Dus verwacht van mij geen comprehensieve vergelijkende studie. Hij was KEI goed. De franchise draait vlotjes en de acteurs, net als hun characters evolueren wonderlijk vlot.
Leuk. Nah.
Leuk. Nah.
