Hey hey! I'm in Emmen now... Martin's at the hospital having his head examined, oops, I mean his neck. ;) LOL... sorry, I'm in a very 'flauw' mood this morning. Anyway, I ended up coming here last night totally unexpectedly - I think he was nervous about today (neck biopsy), but he wouldn't admit it. Anyway, so he's at the hospital and I'm sitting here doing homework, uh, I mean Blogging...

I am sooo good, I almost finished the 1850's translation before I left last night, and I knocked off five pages (handwritten) of the Sherlock Holmes one on the way here. Just needed a little motivation to get finished, I guess :) seeing as it all has to be turned in tomorrow... Anyway, I am also sooo good because: the train left at 19.22 - straight to Zwolle, none of this Deventer-Zwolle crap, haha... and I had been feverishly working on that first translation, so I was standing in front of my apartment at 17.05 waiting for the bus, not having had dinner yet, going in my head, "This is never gonna work, never gonna work..." but then the bus turned up a couple minutes later so I got on and then put E1,50 in one hand and my pinpas in the other... we got there around 19.15 so I just ran... up the escalator, over to 'the wall' to grab a sandwich (thus the E1,50), back in the other direction to the kaartautomaat, got my ticket (thus the pinpas), ran to the board, checked the platform (11a/b), ran to the platform, and got on... with a minute and a half to spare. Go Jess!

Request of the moment: can anyone who has a nice ringtone please send it to me? (It is possible to send ringtones from one phone to another, isn't it?) I'm really getting sick of the 'standard' ones that came with the phone, and the Internet doesn't work on my phone for some reason so I can't download any, either. Greatly appreciated!...

OK, I'm going to 'really' translate now. And I should be home tonight... going to make my mac and cheese and (hopefully) actually get to watch ER for a change... I saw it the very first night it was back on TV, a week ago yesterday, but not since then. I think Elizabeth's character has joined the show since then. Hey, do they have ER DVDs the way they do for Friends and Buffy and stuff? They should...
