The last half of the year; the top 5 things to do.
So it’s June 1st! [Ed's note, finished writing this on the 2nd cause I got distracted half way through last night] I’m pretty happy about that. It means the second half of the year has started. Okay technically it’s still the first half of the year, but I’ve always thought of June as being the beginning of the second half of the year ever since I could remember. Probably has something to do with the weather back home.
The second half of the year is a pretty good stretch for me. It’s when I’m at my best; I’m totally fired up, motivated like hell to do something. I just don’t have that in the first half of the year. Most of the time I’m simply trying to work out just what is going on. You know, like see what kind of year it’s going to be, and sort out what the fashions are. For some reason that seems important, trying to keep up with the fashions. I never do, but then it’s not through lack of trying, just through a lack of money. If I could, I’d camp out at the front of the big Martinique store on Leidsestraat at the beginning of every new season and as soon as the doors open, run in and power shop. But yeah, cash is my limiting factor, it’s an expensive business looking good in Europe.
So I figure this second half of the year I will be able to acheive three of the five things.
* Finish the screenplay.
* Finish the short novel.
* Make a contact in the Amsterdam film/tv industry.
* Speak dutch.
* Own a cool new style-master jacket.
I really hope number 5 is in there, I could really do with a new jacket.

So padwanna,
What is happening with your blog did you not payed your bills, or did i not pay mine? Or are you reconstructing it or moved to that pretty Island afterall. Probably it has to do with my computer, people who know say it’s very slow. so how are you? it seems that finally the summer has arrived in this country and it makes me so happy.
It definately brings out the worst in the woman specey in the shop that is. Thinking off making a short film about their greed and destructiveness. Me i’m a seemstress my self so i know how much blood sweat and tears sombody put in a garment so i’m never able to throw it on the ground. It seems like with my other proffession i have to educate and this time it’s with adults, not really a pretty sight that is. Looking forward to the world champion tournement are you? I try to be in to it but i have a talent for turning my head every time when there is an important goal, that’s my tragedy i guess. So Padwanna have a good weekend talk to you soon Groetjes Pippi

Hi Pip,
Yeah as it so happens the company that I host my blog with seemed to have some sort of problem with my visa card. I dunno, I guess they didn’t like the colour or something because it was fine to use for everything else except them. But I’m all paid up now for the next two years, so no more dropouts… I hope! 
Yes the summer is here, and boy am I enjoying it. For the first time in years I actually have a look different from an anaemic, cathode ray fed, computer geek. Oh the joy!
Actually it’s funny that you mention female shopping bring out the worst in women. I’m actually a bit scared to get anywhere near a clothes shop on a weekend for fear of being trampled. I envy you being able to make your own clothes.
Well, you sound like you have a knack for missing those WK moments of glory. I have to say that you surprise me by actually watching games in the first place. Most women I know aren’t really into it at all. I think you need to fight the urge to move, and do what guys do, which is just not take your eyes off the game for the 90 minutes it’s on!
Hope your happy and doing well, and speak to you soon.
Padwanna!
