Attitude Holland.nl

I recently found this cool site with alternative clothing, funny T-shirts and accessories. I couldn't resist ordering this Little Mole T.

There was also a funny note in the package. Lol especially on the paragraph about ironing:

You are just never there. Your parents love you, think about you, spend sleepless nights while you don't turn up, spend their time with strangers talking about you, admiring you on pictures. But you are not there. All they want is a minute of your time and to know, to be sure, you are happy. Cause that makes them happy too.
Maybe it's one of life's cruel jokes, those who give you everything, don't get it back. You will realize it all when you become a parent.

Inception

Awesome movie! If you haven't seen it, go ahead and watch it, it's definitely the movie of the year for me. But prepare, before and after all those cool action scenes you will have somthing to think about for sure.

With expressions like "totem" and "limbo" it seems a bit too superficial here and there but if you think about it: dreams are really weird, mysterious andthere is still no complete explanation what dreams exactly are or why do we dream afterall.

If you liked the Matrix probably you will enjoy Inception too cause they share some elements, but this movie is closer to real life, yet it's idea is way more complicated.

Let's hope the makers won't ruin the movie with future sequels.

Fall

The rainy season is undoubtedly here so I bought some autumn items and candles to make our home even cosier :)

Peter Pan

'' It is the nightly custom of every good mother after her children are asleep to rummage in their minds and put things straight for next morning, repacking into their proper places the many articles that have wandered during the day. If you could keep awake (but of course you can't) you would see your own mother doing this, and you would find it very interesting to watch her. It is quite like tidying up drawers. You would see her on her knees, I expect, lingering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on earth you had picked this thing up, making discoveries sweet and not so sweet, pressing this to her cheek as if it were as nice as a kitten, and hurriedly stowing that out of sight. When you wake in the morning, the naughtiness and evil passions with which you went to bed have been folded up small and placed at the bottom of your mind, and on the top, beautifully aired, are spread out your prettier thoughts, ready for you to put on."

Avocados

May sound stupid but I have never in my whole life bought avocados, these guys are my very first:) Reason is: in Hungary they are not so common and absolutely not cheap so everybody has to survive without them. But tonight I'm making guacamole for the tortilla chips after we consumed a big amount of enchilladas! Hasta luego!

Clouds, mist and rain

Lately the weather has been quite suicidal (see pic) so it's time for some negative thoughts:

"...So I try to avoid any eye contact
Cause if I do that then it opens a door to conversation
Like I want that..."

Eminem - Beautiful

No, don't say hi, I don't even know you, I'm not interested in you and I don't want to hear your stupid remarks about the weather. Period.

Bookmarks

Here are the bookmarks I designed instead of working on Friday :)

Autumn?

It would have been a perfect autumn day yesterday if it wasn't actually August.

But I was thinking. You are so close to nature here in Gouda. So different from in Hungary. You go out the door and you're immidiately surrounded by trees and birds, you can feed the ducks and all that. Here for example a picture of a Grey Herron in the middle of the city, in Park Atlantis (you can spot these birds all the time near the huge amount of lakes and channels around the negihbourhood):

Isn't this cool?

WTJ - Page for negative comments

Using some of the bumper stickers I found I could create the perfect page for my inner critic :)

And here is the other side of the very first page I've done (doodling never stops):

Bumper stickers

Today (while pretending to work) I was browsing bumper stickers. Sooo funny :D Here I post some (not in an alphabetical or chronological order for D's sake):

This one is my favourite:

This one goes for my D:

And this one would be the perfect banner for my blog:

WTJ - Trace your hand

Finally at least I'm completely done with a page and I'm happy with the outcome. It took me a couple of days, but it succeeded! Here it is:

And this is a little package for my boss, who is leaving for Switzerland:

It contains typical Hungarian candies: dunakavics (Duna pebbles) and francia drazsé (French dragee). I printed a cute candy shaped gift-tag for it.

Those magical 40's

A couple of days ago a new sensation hit me after watching some movies about the 40's and 50's: I love those cars!!! Yes, I mean those huge, whale-like monsters. They amaze me in a way a BMW or Yamaha bike can never do.

Here they are:
