Mother Superior jump the gun

Being (or at least trying to be) the best big sister ever, it is of course my duty to promote 'Watch it go...bling!' - the blog my sister Iris and her best friend Liselot founded the other day. Check it out!

You're still my friend, it's impossible to hate you

Another day trip (this time with my parents and their long-time friends Flor and Ursula, my sis was at school) to Lille on a day off from work. The sun was shining and everything was perfect.

(btw, that darling sheep was a present from Ursula to my sister, who had her birthday a day earlier)

Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now

I'm having a day off from work and spent the last hour and a half watching Grant Gee's Joy Division documentary. It's by far the best music docu I've ever seen and I think I even prefer it over 'Control' (Anton Corbijn's movie on Ian Curtis). The live footage and interviews (with Tony Wilson, the other JD members, Ian's Belgian girlfriend Annik...) are simply amazing.

A touch of genius

For those who didn't get to see the US Open semi-finale between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic (and also for those who did, because it's still great), Roger's amazing between the legs shot:



It's not the first time he pulls a trick like that. This was a couple of months ago against Andy Roddick:



(haha, look at Roger smiling at the end of the video)

But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

Wednesday was the birthday of my lovely sister Iris, who turned 16. I remember desperately wanting to be 16 when I was a kid, of course inspired by way too many American teenage series. When come to think of it, I'm enjoying things a lot more now than when I actually was 16. Nevertheless, I also have many great memories of that time and I'm wishing my sis lots and lots of those! Some pictures of the celebration.





In the evening, I met up with Sam - a very good friend from back in high school - for an Explosions In The Sky gig at the Rivierenhof (shame I haven't got a good pic of it, because it's an incredibly beautiful venue, sort of an open air amfitheatre in the middle of the woods).

"Have you tried Kasabian?"

Okay, that made me laugh out loud. :D

She's a little pilot in my mind

Yesterday was the first day of my student job = working as a salesperson for the "Skyshops" at Brussels airport for one month. The first two days mainly consisted of till training (somewhat more difficult than I had expected it to be, but then again I think it's mostly a matter of getting used to it), learning how to deal with false money/thiefs/difficult clients, etc. The couple of hours we already spent in the shop (they put me in one of the fashion departements, all right!!) were pretty cool, though. Plus, my collegues seem to be nice. And I just like the fact of working at the airport, it's always been an environment I really loved. Even though it seriously makes me want to go on another holiday. :)
