Intro post: I can be pretty random. Also mostly friendly - even if I sometimes have a darker sense if humour. Oh, and I prefer UK spelling. You'll find me showing off my cat and chihuahua, talk about games, Star Trek, language and making websites. And I love conversation. ☕

It's so hard reading the news. It's never been full of puppies and flowers, but it's hard these days. But I'm not turning away from news.
It helps to actively search for good news. Because it's there. And it gives strength. So I watch the puppies, the cat videos, local news on the new Friday market.

Four years ago, I recorded short material that I pulled from the public domain. I did my best to release one a week, as an experiment that lead to It's Storytime.
This is Umberto Eco’s essential 1995 essay, Ur Fascism. It was shockingly relevant in in 2020, and it remains so today.

Book 1 of 12 this year. It's a start, right?
Granted, lots of photos and illustrations. But I read it and loved it. Fawlty Towers will always be one of my faves. So much so that if I was allowed only one tv series to watch the rest of my life, this would cover it.

I'm struggling to understand. How to be tolerant and encouraging of diversity, when there are those who are not? How does one deal with that, when I'm all about letting people be who they are?
I think the first step for me is to understand the difference between intolerance and malice.

I bought ... 5 books. From the bookstore I used to work. And that means I have half the books I want to read this year. 12 was my goal. I feel I might actually make it.

Sometimes I remember meeting this American couple in 2024, in a middle eastern restaurant in Belgium. Nice chat. Regular people. Convinced Amsterdam was a cesspit, unlike gentle Brugge. And as we walked away they stated who they were gonna vote for. That sticks in my mind.
Regular people.

Gotta go lay out my outfit for tomorrow. I'm so my mother with that. Mostly because I can't put together a good outfit in the morning.
Looking forward to the non-office days.

Okay. So Saturday is usually pizza with Star Trek Lower Decks on disc, because it's not showing in NL.
But we'll try to watch Star Trek SFA on YouTube.
Whatever happens, pizza and Star Trek night is upon us.

Let's not dwell too much on how stupid the world is right now.
But let's take some responsibility and at least be aware of the control we do have.
Ultimately how you treat people. The choices you make. The permission you give yourself to also relax and have fun, to recharge. That's it.

#Coffee time again. First coffee morning in the new year. Look! Free mini slice of cake! I love Coffee in the Netherlands. Listening to 1980s French pop music. Good company. Mixed patrons.
No laptops.

I just think. If you're still looking forward to the world cup and not worried about your national football team going to play in it...
There's something wrong with you.
There really is.
Why arent we boycotting?
