My Underwood typewriter that I bought a couple of years ago at the 'scription' museum in Tilburg. I love working on it, even if my wife is the only one who can replace the ribbon.

This somewhat strange man with ENORMOUS rings sat polishing something in Charlie Chiu's fastfood restaurant. Later he sort of disguised himself with big sunglasses and a blue baseballcap with a big gold badge.
I love Charlie Chiu's.

boeken rond het paleis


boeken rond het paleis
Originally uploaded by Blinky Pitz.

I thought of this picture of the pile of books I bought at a bookfair in my hometown not long ago, when I was reading this article about the books famous people loved in college.

For me that book was Henry Miller's Tropic of Capricorn, and I carried my copy with me where-ever I went. I'm still a reading maniac but seldom have encountered a book that took me in like Capricorn.

This is me, about a year ago, talking to a hotrodder about his passion. I used the endresult for my 'gratuation paper' and gratuated in radio from the school of journalism. Until now I haven't succeeded in finding a job as a radio-editor or reporter but I'm happy with my current job as webeditor.
