How My Studies Are Currently Going

I’m starting to think that Calvin might be my long lost twin brother (if you don’t pay attention to little details like him being a six year old boy and, well, a figment of someone’s imagination)…
Air Bear

Where would we be without air? It is one of the most essential basics for us humans.
Yet, most of us seem to underestimate the hidden uses of air by only relying on it for breathing. What hidden uses, you say? (Yes, you do. Admit it.) Well, it seems that one creative mind certainly likes to think out-of-the-box and has thereby discovered a quite imaginative approach to air (and its hidden uses). Throw some garbage bags in and you’re all set for an original -to say the least- display of art. Enjoy!
Frozen In Time

Do you ever get the feeling of standing still, while everyone else seems to be rushing by you?
I do. It’s a strange feeling. Like you’re temporarily in a completely different dimension than other people.
But I’ve never really felt it the other way round - rushing by while others are standing still.
Must I Always Be Waiting

Maybe some of you have figured it out already, I myself was doing my very best to deny it. But how can I keep on doing that when it’s right here staring me in the face, for the whole world to see?
I am talking about my ideal time table for posts. I have finally come to my senses and realized that it’s not going to happen, at least not now nor in the near future. Apparently inspiration doesn’t have a regular schedule. It just hits you when it wants, and (this happens most of the time) leaves you hanging when you’re trying to make a deadline.
So I’ve decided not to be too hard on myself anymore and just take life (and inspiration) as it comes. The whole purpose of this blog was to enjoy it. That cause would be entirely lost if instead it just raised my anxiety and stress levels, right?
If you’re a regular reader I advice you to check up once every two weeks or so. Don’t worry about too many posts piling up, they won’t. And besides, it’s not like they’re essay’s of 3000 words or anything.
If you don’t have anything to do for the next 13 days, and you’re the adventurous type, you can always click on Peter and ask him to take you somewhere new and exciting (blog about serendipity, remember?). Bon voyage!
Only Looking, No Touching!

I was just browsing through those handy dandy Wiki-How’s when my eye fell on the magical word: Chocolate. One of those few rare things that can make me stop dead in my tracks. My curiosity only grew more when I read the complete title of the page: How to Make a Chocolate Portrait. Bet you’ve never done that before! (I sure haven’t, and I’ve been a chocolate addict from birth.)
Anywho, I obviously read the complete article and absolutely loved it! When I manage to find a good photo and enough time, I’m definitely going to give this a try. There’s a first time for everything, right? Continue reading Only Looking, No Touching!…
The Theory Of Purrpetual Motion

Today I’ve decided to give you all a glimpse into the wacky (yes, that is the correct word) world of Psychology. And in particular, a link posted on our virtual blackboard by one of the professors.
Apparently ‘a magazine’ held a competition, inviting its readers to submit new scientific theories on any subject. Below is the winner.
When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet. And when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down. Therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat’s back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground.
If enough toast-laden felines were used, they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system.
This theory received a reply from another reader. Continue reading The Theory Of Purrpetual Motion…
The Right Mood

Through his genius comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson showed me today that the mind of a college student does not differ much from that of a six year old. Behold.

Turn The Box Around
Monday, 28 January 2008 at 19:32 | In Humor, Life, Quotes, Random | 1 CommentTags: anecdote, Humor, magazine
Today I was reading a random magazine which had a few pages dedicated to humorous anecdotes from readers. Two of those short stories made me smile, so I’ve decided to post ‘em here (just in case I might need some relief from any future depressing mood).
I’m the manager at an electronics store, and ordered part number 669 at the manufacturer. When the package arrived I noticed they sent me the wrong part, namely number 699. I sent it back with an angry letter. The next day I received the new supply. It was the same package, but this time accompanied by a note reading: “Turn the box around.”
If you thought that one was funny - like I did - you should definitely read the next one too. Continue reading Turn The Box Around…
Shattering, Devastating And Inspiring
Sunday, 27 January 2008 at 19:11 | In Books, Personal | No CommentsTags: inspiring, Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
Though risking exposing my softer and sentimental side to the whole anonymous world I shall tell about a book I started reading five days ago. As far as I know it has only received excellent reviews since its publication in 2003 and recently a movie adaptation has also appeared in the cinema. Obviously these kind of things would raise anybody’s expectations, but before I started reading I promised myself to keep them as low as possible. It wouldn’t be the first time I’d be (slightly) disappointed because something couldn’t live up to my unnecessarily and unachievably high expectations. I decided to take it slow and the first three days I only read one chapter a day. But the fourth day (yesterday) I couldn’t restrain myself anymore and I started devouring chapter after chapter until 3 o’clock in the morning. It was only that my eyelids kept drooping or otherwise I’d have just kept reading through the night. Continue reading Shattering, Devastating And Inspiring…
