Its a zoo out there

An intensive meeting turned out to be a slow motion visit at Amsterdam's zoo, Artis, on one of the hottest days in July.

Here an impression of rabbits, little monsters and lazy lions.

Lords of War

There is no difference at all between left wing or right wing extremists. They all sing to the same tune "the right side won, the right side won 'cause god is on our side" and are too blind, too ignorant or flat out: too stupid, to see that they are equally dangerous to peace on this planet.
New candidate for Lord of Wars part II, Afshin Ellian, would love to start another war; against Iran this time - ofcourse, he is on 'the right side'.


Another ex-warrior 'held a kalashnikov' in Nicaragua - when fighting the contra's, socialist Hans van Heijningen. It is not known if he still thinks that it's okay to kill other people, as long as you are on the 'right side'.






What was that phrase again - the intro of Lord of Wars: "There is a gun for every 1 out of 12 people on this planet. The question is: how do we arm the other 11."

SATC

SATC - the movie was a good excuse to wake-up our ladies-film-night out. Usually followed by lots of Cosmopolitan's and other happy drinks. Not this time, I had night-duty and ofcourse, just at the start of the second half something happened and I missed the misery and happy gran finale... So I have to go again to watch the other half...

Paint it white


Monique's new office is at a beautiful and quaint corner of Amsterdam's oldest center. Helped her paint (read: drink coffee) on a sunny Saturday.

Life is good - part 2


Had been ages since we went out together on a woman's night out - talking about life, love, good old times and good new things to come
