Dear Blog..
In another century we had do learn traffic rules in elementary.. I actually kept these books till now.. but it kind of is not so up to date anymore.. so finally tossing in the bin! Have fun reading some OLD stuff and 'donut' forget to gawk at my am-aaazing handwriting skills from back in the nineties...
I got this at 8 years old (back in 1993), when I was 9 years old (1994)
whaaa... just about 20 years ago right?
xx Keiko
Again? Yes..
Here we go:
first of all:
My lovely old trusty alarm clock from the 90's.. finally departing from this home.. It stopped working about 100 years ago!
It shrieks of cuckeldoodeldoo will never more be unleashed on this earth.. (I was startled just about every time!)
I was scared of it's red eyes when the sound went of..
And every time I pushed it's little comb on top.. he would wish me such a nice good morning!
I think I must have used it sinds I was about 9 ish - or 10 ish..
Byeeee chick chick =)
xx
Keiko
btw:
We now in Dutch what the poeltry does in Belgium.. But is it the same in English?
what does the chick say? This ones chirps or peeps.. (piepen) is the same/
What does the chicken say? It clucks (kakelen) Yes sorta right.
What does the rooster say? He crows a cock-a-doodle-doo! (kraaien- it is the same!)
When watching 5 films on a row (from wednesday till sunday) I noticed that the true and various captain must be captain Barbossa. He carries the whole movie franchise on his performance!
He quite litterally stole every scene in every movie. He played in all 5 of them and his character evolves with every movie, as there is for Jack Sparrow, he still remains the goof from the first minute till the last, depending every move he makes counting on sheer luck. But also brilliantly delivers as we are used to.
The actor/character gives it al hes got. He also gets to say the best lines and best quotes. He deliverd it all.. being the twofaced person as he is, he plays a pirate quite good. Cunning, traiterous, adventourous, villainous, humble, honorable, backstabbing, smart, quite comedic timing, flattering and many more.
Captain Barbossa is played by Geoffrey rush, and actually I don't know anything about him.
Well, we all know Johnny Depp, but this guy? Never heard of him, but still delivers one of the best main character vibes to the franchise. Well done!
Greetings
and much obliged.. my son will say now the movies of Pirates are in his top 10! =)
Auch.. hope that's gonna end well! Certain things did not end well for Keiko unfortunatly. But he did tasted freedom after all that time. But now we know whale rehab is clearly something that is very difficult. Even now, the killerwhales from Marine Land are still swimming in a closed park and there is not a good long term plan in sight for them.. it's just so sad..
Where are all the ney-sayers now?? Maybe we need a big charity show for them, to get them taken to a special care in the ocean, just like a seapen, not to be freed after a few months, but the care they need to feel like a whale again and nog some circus animal.
It's a commercial business in the end, it's all about the money, always and forever.
I hope the new free willy will not be 'freeing' killerwhales again, but a new fresh story, a little bit woke, a little bit.. i don't know exactly.. Some say they better not mess with the original. But i'm curious for the reboot.
Oh well.. I actually wanted to write down about 2 books I have in my property.
(as written on: https://verzameloord.blogspot.com/2018/11/flipper-boeken.html)
Een reeks van leesboeken, uitgegeven naar aanleiding van de TV-serie Flipper (1964-1967), bestaande uit slechts twee delen.
Beide delen zijn geschreven door Jesse Fox en van illustraties voorzien door Gerd Werner. Ze zijn in 1967 uitgebracht door de Zuid-Nederlandse Uitgeverij (Antwerpen) Centrale Uitgeverij (Harderwijk).
So, I have both om them in my possesion, I was actually thinking about giving them away, but after finding out there are just 2 books, I actually want to keep them! (read: there were only 2 published in DUTCH in 1967)
After a quick search on the internet I couldn't find anything more on the author (Jesse Fox) and the illustrator Gerd Werner unfortunatly. Only the fact he's from Hamburg (Germany) and a welknown artist
The drawings are really beautifull! Such details, it's pretty!
So.. would I keep the books as antique? Or not? Next year they will be 60 yeard old! =D
When cruisin' the net I also found these: There were 3 English published books! But the first en second were switched in Dutch!

Really too many of them!
Just to top it with.. ANDOR (a Disney+ series around Cassian Andor - a Rebel from the star wars franchise)
WHAT a great show this is.. it only consists of 2 seasons (about 14 ep each) but every one of the them filled with suspense.. (although the first (and second) ep was kind of slow and boring, I promise the next episodes come racing! Its great, it's politcial, devious, scary, creepy, thrillerlike, like some kind of nasty nazivibe to it.. It tells the story about Cassian, just a lowlife that gets sucked into the wordl of rebels vs Emperor Palpetine (the big bady from the first 3 episodes of Star Wars)
it's looking behind the scenes of the main story (you know - Palpetine becoming emperor and stuff) between episode 3: the revenge of the sith AND episode 4: a new hope..
It's really dark and sometimes quite disturbing. But clever.. It tells the tale about the other side of the rebellion army - raising funds - getting info from spies and so on.. Really good! Liked it to bits.. I really felt the hate for the Emperial side, sided with Mon Mothma and loved every 'punch' throwed at the ISB ... What about that smirk on Dedra Meero's face?! Unbelieveble.. how well played, the actors really had to get into dark places performing here.
A tribute to the scenes from de first season when Cassian is imprisoned.. this was so psychologically scary, you were actually rooting for everyone to get out of that prison! I littarly cheered when they finally got to escape that hellhole.
.....
Also.. mentionable .. How to get to heaven from Belfast.. a delightful show with lots of curses, stunning views, a who-dunit story..
And second: The orville.. a classic Star Wars/Star Trek quite original knock off - but kind of original =) with just the enough humor to it, to find it funny and well written. Written en produces by Seth McFarlene.. (you know... family guy stuff and TED?!) yes.. now it's in space!
Greetings!

Yesterday, the dreadfull news of Moya Brennans passing has shooked my day, my world..
I read the news on the facebook page of ENYA (of all people) she died surrounded by her family in Ireland. I'm still a bit shocked, and sad.. It's like loosing a relative, that's the feeling right now..
I was thinking about her quite a lot, cos I love listening to her harp songs and inspiring A. on her very own harp. I was really hopefull she would come back on a tour to Belgium/the Netherlands.. Too bad.. Now it's like some part of me (my early years when as a teen) had literally died with her.. No more warm feelings about concerts en meeting up afters.. it's only a memory away.
The service will be on friday and even broadcasted online. I would love to see it too. Too pay some kind of respect online for this gorgous, beautiful woman. Who learned me to love harp, Irish Gaelic and in the end even Ireland.. I met her a couple of times in the 00'.. And everytime she was so kind, polite, interested, engaged, so, so so so talented.. actually words cannot describe everything about her... Even spotted me in the crowd (on the first row - next to the ultimate fan back in the day)
She will be missed, luckely she will be remembered forever, not only by her fantastic repertoire of music, (as well solo as her Clannad years or the many many collaborations with various kinds of people) her incredible and never-ending (musical) talent or being member of the most wellknown family of Ireland.. but for her kind, beautiful soul and ever - engaging self.
Seeing everyone for who he/she really is.
Thank You for the music Moya Brennan. Thank you.

Fricking 21 years old!!!
Congraaats!!!
21 years full of shite (by me) for me and only me and my eyes to see.. Sometimes semi-poetic, sometimes cringe, sometimes creepy but sometimes just a little heartfelt..
Thank you for keeping the peace, a place to vent when everything seems to be falling apart. And these days its looking worse by the minute..
xxmemememememe me.
