Painting...

... the wall of Gabe n Gabe's new edit suite.
Hm- I am not quite sure which colour direction I want to give it.
Right now I have finished the base,
and before I continue next weekend,
I am tweaking it in Photoshop to see where its gonna go...

And he sings and sings ...

Hey guys- make sure to watch "Idols 3" on RTL4 this Saturday!!!
You can see Gabriel singing his little heart out in the first round-

Btw, I had to take my 'showreel' post off due to technical problems...
it will be posted again asap!

Hm- well, that's all for now...
will update this all soon, but have no time lately, ts ts ts!

Sport ist Mord

As they say in german ('sports are murderous' or sth like that).

Well, tried to be 'healthy' and went jogging yesterday-
one and a half hours of sweat and more sweat...
and a whole new world of pain was revealed to me today!
I feel terrible! My knee feels like its been smashed with a hammer,
my back feels like a bulldozer ploughed over it several times,
my legs don't feel anything anymore really,
apart from the occasional sharp jabbing pain that feels like
someone is working at it with a screwdriver...

ah well- all for the sake of getting into shape, ey?
I think I might try yoga next time before doing
anything too radical like jogging again ;)

Idols 3, horses, and boats...

This weekend Gabriel participated in Idols 3
to become the new 'Popstar 2005'... or 2006?...
Anyway it was loads of fun and veeery exciting-
I think it's great that he is doing this, he is very talented
and has a beautiful voice (ah yes, the girlfriend speaks)!
But see (hear) for yourself! You can always go to

http://www.garageband.com/artist/gabrielsong

and listen to some of his own songs if your interested!
Esther, a friend of ours, also very talented, also great voice,
was there as well (with whole family) and they both got through
to the next round end of Oktober... so, fingers crossed!!!



Then we drove a little outside of Amsterdam to see
a great arabian horse show (well what can I say...
it was not merely for animation research I have to admit...
actually, it was purely out of
'I love horses they are beautiful I wanna have one' reasons...)!



And after that (yes, we be active people)
we met up with Hans and some dear friends of ours from London (Rudolf and Suzanne)
who were cruising through Amsterdam on Hans' boat!
Ah I looove that!!!
Great weather, great view of Amsterdam from the 'Grachten' -
That's the life :)

Amsterdam, Amsterdam...

So let's see...
Living with Gabe is turning out to be fantastic!
And I am not just saying this to give a "perfect couple" *barf barf* image...
it actually really is quite amazing-
After living in a long distance relationship for up to about three years,


it's little things, like sitting on the couch all cuddled up and
watching TV, that make a big difference.
Well... considering the size of our apartment
(very 'cosy' - basically you have your selfmade maze
when you decide to do some laundry and put the racks up...
ah, and the fun of 'where the hell did I put "x"'
or 'in which box do you reckon is the bla bla...?')
we really went from one extreme to the other.
But hey, its all wonderful (please ignore Gabe's cuts and bruises)
:)

Workwise all is developing well-
everything is still kind of being structured and organised,
so all in all its quite relaxed...
I go to work by bike now, like a true dutch girl,
but with the adrenalin schocks of a normal
non-crazy-bike-driving-what-the-hell-is-going-on
person from outside of Holland, or better Amsterdam...
a person who was not half born on a bike.
Basically I arrive at work every morning completely drenched in sweat
and shaking uncontrolably, but what a thrill it is!
I live on the edge now, ah yes,
I look death in the eye every single day!
Trams, Busses, Cars, Tourists... bring it on baby!
Muahahahahaaaa!

Back from the USA

wow- that was a great holiday!
and I know it has been aaages since I have promised Blogs and Vlogs and what not to friends and collegues about my adventures and new job in Amsterdam...
what can I say? Sorry for the long delay and being 'too busy' (yeah yeah) to update my Blog.
Instead a couple of you have already checked out the Vlogs on Gabe's site www.gabe.nl, so that way you can see our vacation videos form his site-

Jurannessic hitting the Blogs

This is great!

More and more people are taking a look at the caveman vlog
and posting a blog about it! Very cool! Makes me very proud-
Hm- I guess I should be getting back to working on some own stuff
after finishing with Harry Potter 4...

I shall brainstorm a bit about it on my 3 week roadtrip
along the westcoast, where I am sure to meet some interesting characters,
and have fabulous adventures!
This will be my first 'real' time to the US,
unless you count being in Disneyworld as a kid
as experiencing America and its people..?

I am very excited!!!
Tomorrow last day at work here in London
(and last night in terribly loud room
in very old shaky house on main road in NW...
but will make sure that vast amounts of alcohol
consumed in short amount of time during farewell drinks
will dampen perception of noise so will sleep like stone),
Day after tomorrow off to Amsterdam
(as have all my stuff there with boyfriend in small but cosy apartment),
Monday off to Los Angeles!
Yuppieeee!

Will post pics and news once there!

SUN in London at last...

I know why the English, or anyone living in England for that matter,
talk about the weather so much...
that's because it is unpredictable as hell, and completely insane!!!
A week ago, I could have sworn that wintertime was rolling back in,
and today it is positively tropical!

Well, it doesn't make sitting indoors infront of a PC anymore attractive,
I can tell you that.

If you guys want to check out some pics from the Paris weekend, go to:

http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Mojito

that's my friend Damiens blog on Xanga (some kinda korean site),
who Gabe and I visited for his birthday,
and who is currently dating my best friend Anneke

http://www.annekehansen.blogspot.com/

who was also celebrating her birthday that weekend!
so a lot of celebrating and having fun -
and a tiny bit of shopping going on too, but yeah, what can you do...
I have a hunch it's genetically programmed...

warning: very girlish post ...

I just had to tell the world...
am the proud owner of the (probably)
most beautiful shoes in the world!

(for all you fellow fashion victims:
they are from Salvatore Ferragamo.)



this week ....

wasn't too bad-
it actually had good weather last weekend!
so lets keep fingers crossed for the next few days...

hm- how come I keep blogging about the weather and/or my work??
man... am I that boring?
hell no!
in my mind is a whirling thunderstorm of incessant creativity and craze!
... most of the time anyway.
hm- I wonder if i could animate that...
