Aw, RIP Angela Lansbury. 96 years old is a pretty good age to reach.

She's played some very nice roles, though most I'll remember her by is as Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote.

Whew, my teeth are fine according to the dentist.

This is in the Museum of Human Misery in the Bad Place. 😛

Seeing more and more birds flying in V-formation. That's when you know it's not going to be warm for much longer.

I've finished reading 3 Dutch books in the past bunch of weeks, trying to figure out now what to read next.

What I've read:

- Huize Volverve (House Volverve) by Monique van Roosmalen. Reasonably entertaining story about an elderly home where you see the flashbacks of those old people and how they interact with each other and how connected they are after all from the past. And no, this was not a murder mystery, heh.

- Het huis met de rode luiken (The house with the red shutters) by Marja Visscher. A historical fiction. A few people have actually existed, and this story is partly based on history, about when the Dutchies were trying to decide whether they wanted to support royalty or become a republic instead. And later a bit about the colonisation of Indonesia. But that's not the focus, just the backstory. The focus is a woman married to Herman Willem Daendels, about how she experienced her life with this unpredictable man. Not bad.

- De atlas van overal (The atlas of everywhere) by Deniz Kuypers. About the writer who's half Dutch and half Turkish. He's not understanding his own feelings and his relationship with his Turkish father very well, and tries to write this off (this book basically) in order to try to understand. There's a lot of (made up) stories about his father. Interesting mixed memories.

So yeah, that's some variety there. Other books I tried but dropped were:

- De Zwarte Wolvin (The black she-wolf, Loba Negra) by Juan Gomez-Jurado, the Dutch translation was awfully dry and felt out of place. A shame because the premise wasn't bad.
- Perfecte moord (Perfect Kill) by Helen Fields, I might actually read this someday but it is NOT recommended for reading before bed... Way too intense in the first chapter already.
- Ik zal je nooit meer (I will never you...) by Tatjana Almuli, totally not interested in this topic. Writing style's not fully to my liking either.
- Herinneringen aan hem (Reminders of him) by Colleen Hoover, still undecided, might try it a bit further but I want to read something completely different.

Maybe I want to read a StarTrek book now, or some other scifi. Time to search my library I guess.

I'm still pleased as fuck that I found out a few days ago that I do have a thermos teapot after all. It'll be pretty useful the coming months.

Whoopitidoo, that was a fire alarm test. Thankfully it's nice and sunny today.

Whelp, theme at my job today is 'GIGA GREEN'. I've got a somewhat greenish tshirt and and a dark green cardigan... Thankfully I've got bright green Xmas socks, wearing them now. :P

I love regular expressions.

I've finished binging Community (when will there be a movie?!). Any suggestions what next to watch on Netflix? I'd like it to be lighthearted, amusing, and yet witty. I've already finished Brooklyn 99 prior.

Swept the garden, and trimmed the grapevine a bit. Decay's definitely setting in, leaves falling everywhere. Got my fresh air for today, so that's good.

The funny thing is that the store owner of the Giant Bike store was like 'We take our bike repair very seriously.'

Sure, but the independent bike repair guy wouldn't be in business for very long if he didn't take his business seriously either. :P

Giant Bike store: 150 euro to replace both tires.

Independent bike repair guy around the corner: 75 euro.

Yeah, I know where I'll bring my bike to tomorrow. :P

Damn, I already did so much stuff today that I thought it'd be noon already. But it's only 11:06. I guess I'm way too efficient.

Heh, I didn't know Denmark delivered those kind of bikes. We need to think of something more bike-extra! :D

Ah. I'm binge-watching Community again since about 2 weeks ago. I'm currently at the episode Advanced Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and they referred to an earlier D&D episode that I've definitely watched a long time ago but can't recall having watched in this binge...

Turns out that's the one that got removed 2 years ago for Chang to do something looking like a blackface. Mmm, the removal was probably overkill since that issue did get addressed in the episode too and could've been a nice educative moment. In the meantime we're missing out on a fun episode. :P

Oh RIP Louise Fletcher. Her characters were so great to hate, she was wonderful!
May she rest in peace now... my child.

I should add garlic to more things. Damn tasty.

My body must be a TARDIS of snot. There simply is no other explanation for the amounts that my nose can produce.
