I had problem finding the bar I was supposed to meet an Erasmus friend into, but it was just bc there was an alley covering the entry It’s seems like the typical not expensive beer, loads of space, no fancy thing to broke if too crowded… but it’s not fullfilled at all tonite so…

It has been 18 months since we hadn’t met face to face with her, but it was really nice to see how the both of us went during that time

Dat was a noce nite, cool to see each other once again after so much time, a lot to talk about, really cool.. she’s now working at the European Parliament.. cool

The worst thing, and I still don’t have the habit, is that the bars are still smokers allowed in here… ewww… I just hate that…. so we moved quickly to another place cause it was really too smoky in here

Now playing: Tenacious D – Kickapoo

But at last I arrived in my Hometown to see my parents, grand mother and brother/sister-in-law/Nephew… The lil one having fun with his father and one of my old old plush… (which is « ugly » says Junior’s mom… )

He’s more than One now… he was only 2-3 weeks old last year… now he’s walking and everything… time has flown by… stupid to say but true

Bought him a wooden bicycle, but without pedals… But he’s sill kinda short to be able to use it on his own.. soon enough he’ll drive it I’m not worried

The whole family got a NDS for my Mom… u know.. brain training etc… Nice to have parents that keep up with technology I’m telling u

And as usual, more and more pics from Junior… I just like making portraits, and he’s not old enough to complain.. but if everyone wants to let me portrayed him/her, it’s will be a pleasure

It’s really freeeeeeezing down here… that’s the thing when u leave downtown… first there’s not much of greeny things to froze… then because of the narrow streets, it’s not that cold actually….

Junior took the guitar while his father was putting it away.. he doesn’t really know why we were smiling but well.. he’ll figure out someday

Time to take some last pictures.. and hit the road.. only 5 hours for Xmas.. not much.. but working the day before and after is not really helping I confess

On the way back, the nite is falling really quickly.. but I was glad I was able to see the whole family even for only a few hours

I won’t hit the road tonite to go to my hometown, frozen highway, nite & belgian road are not really a good idea… so staying in at the B-House alone for the xmas eve….

There passing a typical French classic comedy « Le pere noel est une ordure » on the main belgian channel…. I can almost tell all the lines of this movie… lol

And I’m justing waiting time following Santa on internet… he’s really super duper quick actually…

And dat’s pretty much it for me for this Xmas eve, not much to say about my Xmas eve meal… not so « special » it seems…. tried to play some games.. was amazed and laughing seeing I wasn’t the only one playing tonite.. felt kinda heart warming u know…. lol

Now playing: The White Stripes – Icky Thump

3 Kilometers later, in front of the Studio, it’s a so quick ‘journey’ that even the roof of the car hasn’t defrost an inch….

This was quite a quiet day.. but really quiet.. everyone seemed to already have the head in the xmas/ family time… everyone already saying nice things for the new year for those who’ll be on holidays for 2 weeks…

We’ll also notice the sooo cute xmas cactus santa from Leo at the Reception… And Yes, it’s a real cactus ^^

There’s a school in front of the Studio, they seem to have a xmas party… soooo funny…. with some kinda 80’s music going on.. I came out of the Studio at the same time than an other CG… we looked at each other and said…. « WTF…. OMG…. » then laughing, cause we were wondering if they were allowed to bring booze inside a school.. .lol

I didn’t showed til know, but u know there’s a political problem in Belgium, problem between flamish and wallons etc… no or temp governement etc.. so they’ve created a special thing to say how much they wanna keep the Belgium united…

Now playing: Gnarls Barkley – Crazy

Good day at the Studio, finally really working in what I’m the best at : producing and supervising the graphists.. ok.. I might have need to be angry at one today.. That.. I’m not very found of.. But it’s part of the job (and he deserved it so.. no hard feeling…). The Studio will be quiet empty next week, due to Xmas and NYE.. not sure we will be much there… *sighs*

Leaving on time, just the time to stop buy 2/3 things at the mall.. it’s just 2 streets near the B-House, which is cool ^^, and there’s even a parking, on the roof ^^ fun & Handy

One last problem when it’s freezing outside and u leave only 3 kilometers away from your work, is that the heater barely have the time to start on ur car in the morning for example… Of course it’s better than the hour way in that I had in Luxembourg, but nonetheless, not really happy about dat in the morning…

Now playing: lynyrd Skynyrd – Simple Man

Errr….

‘lo???

Wha should I do know? I’m not a graphist or something like that, I’m in production, Without Internet i’m pretty much useless u know mate…

Just the time to go to a meeting and it came back at that time… ouff

Also nice to say, at noon, went out to grab a sandwich (yeah, so far it’s a fascinating story for sure.. I know…), and realised I forgot my money, so I just said to the guy « well, sorry, going to get some cash ».. him « naaa c’mon.. u’ll pay tomorrow »… wow…. ok… well, I took the time to go to the ATM, but nonetheless, this is pretty impressive honestly… I kinda luv this country sometimes u know

At nite, I followed the crazy idea sent on Seesmic to have a common party starting at 8Pm Greenwich time (meaning 9pm in here), was mad enough to be doing it.. I could show the videos I took.. I could… but I won’t… :p (Seesmic powa only u know :p)

Still a nice day, the end of 2k7, strange has it doesn’t really bother me more than that… why?? I had a pretty much good year, I mean no big disease, no broken heart, 2 capitals, 2 movies… not sad to leave this year and start another.. sure I know what I miss about this year.. but it’s too late… lil more than 10 days left.. so it’s probably (hoping?) that it will be for next year…
