That Dutch version is very nice, I got it too.

Last thing I bought....clothes! Yes, that was it. 2 pairs of pants at €50 each (yeh they cost way too much). And 2 shirts, a sweater and 3 pairs of socks for a total of €25 (yes, those are cheap). I love this store called Jeans Centre. The service is great.

I tell them: I need a t-shirt between €5 and €10 if you have those. There are shirts that cost €13 initially and have either 30% or 70% discount (thus cost €9 or €4). Which ones do they try to sell you? Nope, you guessed wrong, they only pick the cheapest ones. What other store does that? I mean, €9 would've been fine too, I said under €10. Now that's good service. And it's not just that. I love the store. And early fall their summer collection already has awesome discount, so I buy my summer clothes in autumn

Shoes from M&S

Colour Me Free!! I'm so glad that I bought it

Very good purchase, Rosario

Last thing I bought were a couple of 12 packs of coca cola cans, and a couple of air freshener refills for my car.

A Jenny Lane poster. Which she signed. Just got back from the concert, which was great. Judging by the deafness I'm experiencing now, the max 400 (probs more like 300) in attendance made more noise than the 1800 made for Joss back in Feb (Jenny was the supporting act then). She was amazing.

I was also kinda lucky. I brought just €5 in case I needed to drink something and I forgot about the €1 for putting away my coat. That left just €4. It just so happened that the poster cost exactly that Now I should finally get that tape that sticks on both sides. I still haven't put up one of my Kim Caldwell posters either

I have one question to you. If I should say my name, would you think there are several ways to write it? Cos I really can't think of another way that would sound the same. Bastian would make it sound English, like in Sebastian. Bastyaan doesn't seem to exist. So there ain't any other way to write my name, which would make Jenny's question "Do you write it just as you say it?" kinda pointless. But maybe she just wanted to be sure. She's actually got a handwriting that would make you think it was a computer made autograph using a 'handwritten' font. May7be I'm just used to my own crappy handwriting. I entered my name to be added to her mailing list (although I think I already subscribed), but I doubt they'll be able to read it I also believe I wrote the wrong age

Anyway, if you are ever in Holland or if Jenny is ever coming near you, you really should go see her. She may be crazy, but that combined with her voice makes for one hell of a concert

Talk about a detailed control of your budget!

If I were to write your name, I can't think of many ways to write it. Actually, I can only think of one, because I already know how it is . But if I heard it and didn't know, I'm guessing it would sound the same in Spanish with a or aa. So I'd probably spell it Bastian if only to spare the effort of writing the extra letter

Be tolerant, you don't know if she's illiterate enough to expect it to be spelled Vastiaan

As for her handwriting, perhaps she was trained to write like that, so in case they needed to ship a large amount of "signed" records, they could just press them with that same handwritten typeface and noone could tell

Lol, I doubt it. I don't think they ever shipped any amount of signed posters

I can understand that in other languages it may be written several ways, but we are in Holland, she's Dutch and Bastiaan (and especially Sebastiaan) is a rather common name. I have never seen it spelled any other way, because it is impossible in Dutch. But I forgive her

Maybe she just wanted to talk to you some more and didn't know what to say to start the conversation

Lol, I doubt it. I was the 3rd of over 100 people wanting stuff signed

You don't know if she saw something in you

Maybe...I was standing 2nd row (ok, there were several open spots in my row) and I was also standing 2nd row when she opened for Joss....

Last thing I bought... that would be the following items.



Yep. It's about time I got me a decent camera. Bad photos will be entirely my fault from now on

Nice! I could use one of those. But I don't make enough photos to warrant that kind of expenses

Today I bought Dragon Age: Origins. Yes I know I already have it for Xbox 360, but I can't connect that to my pc monitor and my tv is so small that it didn't allow me to read all text. And since for PC the game doesn't cost much anymore, my PC can handle it, it should look better on PC and there's the option of mods, I decided to get it.

I'll post some photos soon!

Let us know how the game goes. And how the text reads

So far the text is good. But I did also install a mod that enlarges it. Cos there might also be a problem if your screen is over 20 inches I have played only about 1.5 hours, which includes character creation. So I'm not as far into the story as I was on the 360, but I find that it looks better / easier to read stuff. And it plays a bit differently with keyboard and mouse. Still have to get adjusted to the way it works, with clicking the stuff and such. And moving. I'm used to keyboard for forward and backward and strafing and mouse for turning. Maybe I can play some more tomorrow
