V3sn4's (s)crap of thoughts

This is Netherlands

And here I am in the bus on my way to the airport to welcome Paulo! And of course, as every honest citizent, I wanted to buy a bus ticket. I go to the train station (it’s the same for buses) but the ticket office is closed! Big deal I think, I can always buy them in the bus. The big bus driver woman enters the bus and I politely ask whether I can buy a ticket! She is pissed at me and says of course you can not buy from me! I drive not sell!! Ok I say and ask where I can buy since the ticket office is closed! (btw a month ago it was possible to buy tickets from the bus driver). She says from the machine in the middle of the bus! I go there and see one can pay by chipknip or coins! Luckily I’ve charged my chipnick which I usually never do, so all happy I try to buy the ticket!
IT DOESN’T WORK!!!!
An Indian (as from India, to clarify for Tim Peeters in case he reads this) comes, and his chipknip doesn’t work! We ask the woman again what can we do! She says don’t drive without ticket – you can buy one in the AH ( a supermarket in NL ). We ran like crazy with the Indian, wait for 5 mins in a queue and then are told that you cannot buy a ticket there! I beg them to at least give me change for the 20 euros I have, but they are NOT ALLOWED to. They say go to the shop at the corner, they sell newspapers and probably tickets! We run again like crazy but the little shop is closed!
Finally the doner kebab guy gives me change of 20 eur by 1 eur and make some dirty comment in Turkish ( or at least his smile was naughty).
I run like crazy and I catch the bus just before it departs . All happy I try again to buy a ticket!
It DOESN’T WORK!!! Ahh I say f&*^ it!! I ain’t gonna lose my nerves here! I’m gonna drive for free with 5 kg heavy wallet from my new coins and with a smile that I will soon see my sweet Paulo!

I think the Indian didn’t catch the bus! Pity it was such a nice drive…

I’ll post this as it is and edit from my pc once I’m home! Now I’ll open my arms for a hugeeee hug!!!!

ISMRM@Hawaii – day 1

Go here!

ISMRM from my current perspective

v3sn4 — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 00:56:04 +0000

So I was sitting here in Hawaii on some extremely boring talk of yet another application of FA, and by accident discovered this neat wordpress app for my beloved iPhone. Finally I can be a real blogger and post my thoughts anytime anywhere (though that might be dangerous sometimes)! Well there are lots of posts to be written as I wanna keep all these precious moments of all the crazy adventures I’m experiencing during this trip. So hopefully there is more to come. Just for those of you who wanna peek at my current view of the conference I’m posting few pics.

Who are we!?!

Thank you Paulo for sharing this with me. It kinda gave me some lights on what happened to me last Saturday night. It was very similar experience, tho for my fortune the cause was not a stroke .

Cтарост според кафана

v3sn4 — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:38:58 +0000

Незнам како функционира ама еве ја равенката која ќе ви каже колку години имате, според тоа колку пати неделно сакате да одите во кафана.

1 – Колку пати неделно сакаш да одиш во кафана (повеќе од 1 помалку од 10).

2 – Помножи го бројот со 2.

3 – Додади 5.

4 – Добиениот резултат помножи го со 50.

5 – Ако годинава веќе си го славел својот роденден додади 1758, ако не додади 1757.

6 – Сега од добиениот резултат одземи го 4 цифрениот број, на годината во која сте родени.

Имаш троцифрен број, првата бројка е колку пати сакаш да одиш во кафана, вторите две се твоите години.

Уште еден доказ дека Он.нет е неверојатно корисен портал

Somewhere over the rainbow…

Because the master of this blog loves Brad Pitt, we recently saw Meet Joe Black. It’s a wonderful movie, I should say. Great cast and great plot with Death involved . But this post it’ about the end of the movie – not the plot itself but the final credits. It was just marvelous, the music! One of the best covers ever! I leave you with this, courtesy of Mr. Unpronounceable-Surname, Israel Kamakawiwo’Ole, with Somewhere over the rainbow / What a wonderful world, and a small warm feeling in your hearts!

When I saw this picture I immediately thought: “for all that is sacred, knitting can be so cool (and pervert)!”

And have a look at the art of this mister Yuko Shimizu.

Aren’t they just… perfect!?! ;)
