Quinze & Milan
Are you a talented architect looking for a challenging job?
Check www.quinzeandmilan.be.
If today I'd want to work for a company, it would be this one.
(Though I am pretty sure it is atime consuming and pretty intensive place to work...)

The tables are ready
Ha!
Finally after months and months and a bunch of promises, the tables are ready.
The initial plan was dad would make them but due to certain circumstances and loads of work, I had to make them myself.
I designed them, and together with dad cut the wood.
And then the difficult part: assembling them.
Now in general assembling is easy (certainly with ikea furniture), but due to my stubbornness I don't want visible screws, nor simple corners.
Which turns assembling in a stressful and careful event.
But I am certainly proud to say I did it.
And OK, there are minor details I (and probably c.) notice, but all in all I am pretty proud about myself.
It is really awful to say that all the work took only 3 days, and I delayed it with 6 months, afraid I wouldn't be capable of doing it myself (and now, because I had to do it, I noticed that I ain't such a bad carpenter after all :) )
So, if I hurry up, paint them, we're almost ready for that poker night :)))
Pictures you ask??
Here they are.
(There are 2 tables, the computer table has a built in structure to hide cables. The diner table doesn't.)

Motorcycle to the other side of Belgium
Yesterday I got a phone call, if I wanted to do an urgent job.
No problem, no problem at all (reschedule some stuff) and jump on the motorcycle.
Wait a minute, the weather forecast presents rain.
So renting a car?
A huge dilemma:
renting a car and being stuck in traffic at the morning, or going by bike, and sitting in the rain.
I choose the latter.
And when driving into Brussels this morning I was thrilled I took the motor. Man, I just passed all the cars.
But then...
While continuing to Landen, I drove into a falling cloud.
A motorcycle is fun, and fast when it comes into passing traffic jams.
But it isn't ideal when raining...
I hope the weather forecast is right, and later today the sky keeps dry.

Elections
It is interesting to see how these parties are definitely close to each other.
All of this is of course defined by the relation to x and y.
(Meaning they could make a total different axis, showing me closer to other parties.)
But I am pretty convinced that it is interesting to see how in Belgium different parties are telling the same stuff over and over.
And how they copy paste each other.
As it seems to me, there are some gaps to fill... I cannot imagine I am being the only one in that part of the scheme.

Day Night Day Night
When in Palestine, I always wondered how someone could become a suicide bomber.
The answer to that will probably never be black or white, or to be grasped in an definition.
Day Night Day Night seems to be a stunning movie how suicide bombers learn what they'll 'destined' to do..
A 19-year-old girl prepares to become a suicide bomber in Times Square. She speaks with no accent; it’s impossible to pinpoint her ethnicity. We never learn why she made her decision — she has made it already. We don’t know whom she represents, what she believes in - we only know she believes it absolutely.
