What's a 3 week notice?

Probably a badly translated thought of mine.

I meant I was told that I was off from usual activities for at least 3 weeks. No sport of course, but also carefully handling of the foot. I can walk, but I'd better not do it frankly if I want it to heal properly.

Ah ok, that makes sense. I thought it'd be something like that, though it sounds awfully official. Real french bureaucracy. But I thought I'd better check, since a two weeks notice is usually a bad sign. A three weeks notice is just an excuse to be lazy, apparently

No fun...

I know what it's like to have an ankle problem like that, and it gets boring really fast.
I hope you get well soon...

The other day at a party, I'm meeting two girls, one is Swedish, the other one is Dutch. I'm mainly speaking to the Ikea chick, but I'm burning to do the smartass, so I hail the cheesehead and go :
- Hey, is my pronounciation correct : "Ik houd van kaas !"
Of course, I'm speaking in French, except the Dutch part, which stands for "I love cheese", for some reason my favourite line in Dutch.

The girl gets interested in me and replies :
- That's fine, but it's : "Ik houd van jou."
I'm all

because I was sure of my line, so I ask her to spell that, which she does, and she adds :
- It means "I love you."
I suddenly get it, so I roll on the floor on the couch laughing my smartass out, and with Mr. Big Grin on my side, I go on :
- No, no, I wanted to say "I love cheese !"

Too bad she wasn't cute, but that night the Dutch windmills spoke Chinese.

If you'd work on your pronounciation I'm sure you'd attract better looking dutch girls

A new year, a new username.

Thanks Shabba ! Me likes the forum's title you chose.

I've started the process to move to GNU/Linux at last. I'm currently deleting many things from my HD, and saving other things to CDs and the USB key. Once this is done, bye bye M$ ! I'm taking advantage of this by getting rid of most if not all files with proprietary formats. BTW, I've been told by Windows that I last used Civ4 in July 2007, quite a long time ago already (got rid of it too).

I also closed many things online recently, and will end this soon by closing my MSN account. So don't be surprised if you see me go without notice.

And if you ask : yes I'm a geek. So what ?

In other news, I'm doing works in my appartment, that will also soon be finished. And I bought me a new folk guitar !

I can eventually annoy my neighbours.
