Random messages and plans

As I tweeted when I got home from work: "Gray and rainy all day, but on my way home I was greeted by an amazing orange and purple sunset. Perfect start of my week off \o/"¹

Nine days of not thinking of work ahead, woohoo! I've started picking out clothes for my trip to Istanbul on Tuesday. ISTANBUL!

I found my flist flailing about last night's CSI. All behind cuts or being cryptic (I chose my friends wisely;) so I'm dying to find out what the fuss is about and I'm planning a double feature of the last two episodes tomorrow. No spoilers please!

I survived the first week without regular access to the internet (credit for this goes to the bossman, who came down on me for being online 'all the time'). Of course now that I have all this free time ahead I need to make up for lost time. FFS, I created another corner on the www: I now have a tumblr-log. I'm not an addict. I'M NOT. *shifty eyes*

¹The sky looked a lot like my lj-header:)

I'm so restless

Still trying to get used to the idea of many days off. It's a good thing I have planned to travel next week, or the amount of free time ahead would worry me, since I'm currently already fighting urges I haven't had in a long time and not knowing what to do for days would drive me mad.

My best efforts to keep busy are not distracting me from the need to eat. I've had a bad week with food: I've been constantly hungry and even during workhours I've been snacking. Luckily mostly smart food during the day, but nights at home were not that good. I've raided my cupboards. Yesterday I managed to stick to dinner only and today so far I've only had a decent breakfast and lunch. But as soon as I give myself a second to think my mind starts to go over everything eatable that's available in the house. Grumble. I thought these days were past me. I'm guessing it has something to do with the internet-withdrawal from the past week. Since I'm not allowed that addiction, my body and brain are probably trying to deal with going back to something soothing and familiar to cope with the loss of my daily hourly fix of digital feedback.

Or something.

Pretty.Odd. looks pretty pretty

So after whining about my food issue this afternoon I decided to get busy in the kitchen. If I was gonna eat, I might as well put some work into it;) I made poffertjes!

( It's a Dutch specialty: tiny pancakes, mmmm )

I ate them while I watched the last two episodes of CSI on the big screen. (zOMG, if you've seen 'm, let's talk?) and was very satisfied afterwards. Good dinner:)

I'm not sure if I mentioned my sadness about the haircut here, I think I only tweeted about it? Anyway, I posted pics of my new style braid. If you can even call it a braid

I also tweeted about receiving the vinyl LP of my DeLuxe edition of Pretty.Odd. I think I'm still supposed to get a CD/DVD as well, but the awesome design of the albumcover was already worth the money (including shipping and handling): Look how pretty!
