Stuck

A canal boat got stuck in the canal in front of our house - he tried to turn, but needed just a few inches more... Luckily for the captain, an other boat came to rescue.

I would like to smell Isaiah Mustafa

By now everyone have seen the hilarious "Old Spice" viral and the realtime video responses to tweets.
I am wondering whether Isaiah is walking around in his towel in the shower the whole day - waiting to respond...

A day in the (Betuwe) country





 
Roland and I made a small trip in The Betuwe (east of The Netherlands). Great weather, a little to much cyclists, strange villages ("Homo"?) and lots of castles and curves. A Sunday well spend.

Z1000 Recall: your brakes may ..uh...break!

Had to go to the garage today to check my Z1000 brakes. The left front brake hose on the 2010  Z1000 may come into contact with the brake rotor under hard braking. Such contact may damage the hose, potentially causing a brake fluid leak... OOPS! 
Well: they couldn't find a thing - so I will ride (carefully) on.

Carlos Acosta

Probably the best male ballet dancers at this moment - certainly the one who jumps highest - can now be seen returns this summer with a much-anticipated new show at the London Coliseum. Let's see if Eddie and I can get some tickets...

Cut your hair or go straight to jail!

The Iranian government introduced new hair style guidelines last week. For men only of course because women need to wear a scarf anyway. I guess I am in the safe zone with my "hair" - but the Iranian guys on the picture above could face prison for the western hairdo they are flaunting...

Number two and counting - my iPad 3G

The days are over that Eddie and I had to "fight" each moment over whom was to use the iPad. My iPad 3G arrived today and so everything is back to peace and harmony at KP10.

A Dutch/Austrian evening in a French Bistro

My good friend Marco (a Dutch guy living in Austria) visited Amsterdam for the World Cup final. Although we didn't see each other during that final - we had a great dinner at Bistro Neuf. As he is a member of the City Council in Vienna we spoke politics a lot. I am sure that he will re-elected in the upcoming October local elections.

Would you shower with a gay soldier? - I would!

The Pentagon's new survey on gays and lesbians in the military asks troops, among other things, how they would feel about taking showers with gay service members.... ;-)

The whole idea of the survey is rather strange? When Harry Truman wanted to integrate blacks into the U.S. military in 1948 or when the Navy wanted women on ships beginning in 1978 it simply told the army to do so - so why do we need a survey all of a sudden? I never knew that the US army is a democratic institution... And if the military where asked about their believes towards (let's say) African Americans  - the whole of the world would protest ("Would you mind having an African American as your Commander in Chief?")

If you are curious: Why don't you take the survey yourself?

The Panasonic Lumix - TS2

 
While I was buying new camera's anyway I thought it was a good idea to get the Lumix TS2 as well (for underwater photography and HD movies. It's bright orange - so hopefully I can retrieve it when it is lost on the ocean sea floor...

The amazing Olympus PEN E-P1

I bought the Micro Four Third Olympus P-E1 to get rid of the weight and dimensions of a SLR while keeping the quality and versatility. First impressions: wow! great image quality and very well build.

Seaman August Provost killed in action - by (un)friendly fire

 


August Provost was killed while he was standing guard  Camp Pendleton. Any evidence was destroyed  by setting fire on his assigned place of duty. August was being harassed because of his sexual orientation and because he was African-American. This comes at a time when the stupid DTDA. The Navy says is killing was "just a random act" - what kind of organization is this?

Get him to the Greek

 
I saw the hilarious Get Him to the Greek, a spin-off of the also very funny 2008 film Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Both feature Russell Brand as Aldous Snow an expired rock star. Jonah Hill is casted perfectly as the overweight, nervous and ambitious music producer Aaron. The film is a road movie where Aaron must get Aldous to LA for a live concert.  Aaron even end up in bed with his girlfriend and Aldous during a threesome ;-)
Also mentionable is Sean Combs as an over-the-top music exec.
