Belgium first few days
Got here Friday night at around 11PM local time, flight was easy, quick and no hassle at the airport. Got searched by the security guard at Heathrow but I always find that kind of funny so that was OK.
Had a tuna and red pepper sandwich and leftover pasta bolognaise when I got here, and I’m sharing a lounge at the moment for a few days until more stuff gets sorted. Work starts tomorrow.....
Funniest message for a while..
“Got on the wrong train and now i’m in crewe” haha!
The 17 Most Recognizable Trademarked Sounds
dihard:
potato-potato-potato! Do you know what that sound is? Maybe you don’t recognize the onomatopoeia, but you must certainly know the actual sound. It’s the Hog Call! The rev of a Harley Davidson - one of the most recognized sounds from one of the most recognized brands in the US.
So what’s “potato-potato-potato?” It’s the sound that Harley tried to trademark back in the 90s. In 1994, Harley...

xfiles was pretty shit
Oh, pretty gay. Still want to see it tho.
For fuck sake!
Who would have thought finding a place in seven days would have been so hard.
Well we haven’t done it yet, most of the week was wasted trying to find a three bedroom place - until the third guy wanted to go it alone, he said he would be very demanding and wanted to live on his own. Fair enough, so we used the remaining time looking for 2 bed places.
Confirmed one really nice place, ready...

Good thing the neighbour's WiFi is fast
Haha yeh… here’s the DHCP log from the router that we’re connected to. Good thing it’s got a 7.2mb connection or it wouldn’t be worth connecting to at all!
The apartment does come with a wired connection but it’s better to roam around the place really isn’t it.

I’m only a bitch when you cross me. Then the shun goes permanently on.
”What is it with Jessicas? An informal, 3-person poll around the Jezebel office concluded thus: Jessicas are not only pretty, they’re also often kind of evil! “
Oh man! I was one of NINE Jessicas in my 9th grade PE class. I’m sure a couple of those girls were ugly. We were probably all...
Cheese before bedtime
I’ve just eaten a sizeable amount of cheese, I’d say nearly half a pack of some round one, a decent chunk of brie and another chunk of camenbert. Along with crackers, a roll and some tomato.
Let’s see if I get any cool dreams!
—Edit: No, not really. Just couldn’t sleep for ages and kept thinking someone was in my room haha. Word.
Brussels is nice! Daaay one...
I’m currently sat in a nice park, using someone’s unsecured wifi. I needed to find directions and after asking 20 locals to find the general direction, I thought i’d use Google maps to get a direct route. Trouble is, the road names aren’t matching the local area on the map, and I can’t find any photo/GPS references for the statue of ‘Leopoldo II’ which is...

I just discovered the pancake of the future.
nickdouglas:
Valleywag editor Owen Thomas handed me an aerosol spray can last night. It was labeled “Batter Blaster” and it contains sprayable pancake mix. Sounded disgusting, but I’m housesitting for someone without groceries so I grabbed the can and promised to make a memorable little breakfast.
I shook the can, I sprayed batter in the pan. These pancakes cook quickly — I had to throw out the...
