On July 23, halfway the year, and I'm not sure if I should count the first half of the year as fantastic or just a mere meh.
I totally failed on publishing my book, but I did manage to find a place for my eldest daughter (who has a disability). My house's a mess, and I do not like my job.
June 2025... and I decided it can't be all about doom and gloom. Let's talk about something fun! How about Dungeons & Dragons? Or... how I managed to spend more on D&D than ever before 🤔
I'm trying my best to stay positive, but sometimes I wonder if this is the moment we see Fermi's Paradox in full action. Why? Well, we're facing global warming, Russia plays the robber baron, China threatens Taiwan, the US has become the most unreliable superpower ever. And now Pakistan and India are going beyond rattling their sabers and have started to bombard one another.
March 21, and life still sucks. Even more so than usual.
Somehow I just don't feel like writing much lately. It's a kind of general slump, partially filled with the inability to get my sorry ass into gear and publish, partially by all the doom and gloom from the orange menace's corner, and there are some private things distracting me and mine.
This year, my countdown schedule is a periodic flashback every 5 weeks. It's now February 18, and it's time to look back on the first part of 2025.
First of all, I'm happy Trump hasn't blown up the world yet. He's busily destroying the US, which was expected. I'm just a little baffled by the feeding frenzy as shown by the tech billionaires (Zuckerberg, Musk, you know who). Let's start by feeling sorry for them. Or not?
(Hoe noem je zoiets?)
Ik heb (helaas) een nieuwe wasmachine (Bosch), en wilde er de wasdroger (een Zanussi) weer bovenop zetten. Helaas heeft de een of andere design guru besloten om het zeep bakje aan de bovenzijde te laten doorlopen, waardoor de normale koppelstukken niet meer werken. Wat nu?
