I could easily fill it with Martini
February 12, 2006Yup. Yesterday was finally the day. 2.5 Months too late, as my birthday was on December 1st, but who cares. Invited my good friends over, bought all sorts of snacks, drinks, alcoholic beverages, and got on with it. I had a really great time, and I think I speak for everyone.
As for gifts… Where to start… You see, I have one favourite drink, it’s my drink numero uno, and that is of course Martini Bianco. Now, that inevitably leads to me getting a lot of bottles of Martini. A lot. I mean, really, a lot. I now have well over 10 litres of that stuff. I also got a really small one, about ten cm tall. Really cool, I didn’t have that one yet.
Marco and Levi gave me something to do with all that Martini. They gave me a Martini inflatable private pool. And yes, instead of water, I could easily fill it with Martini. Erik Jan and Lizet gave me a wood/leather bottle carrier, a really cool thing. And yes, a 3/4 litre Martini bottle fits in there.
Renaatje gave me two things: an invitation to join her to go watch Walk The Line at the cinema; and a whistle to put in my Micra’s exhaust. Seriously. I can make my car whistle. Oscar, Daphne, and Fabian gave me a bottle of Malibu, and a bottle of liquor which tastes like Irish Coffee. Yes, Irish Coffee is another favourite drink on my end.
I had a wonderful evening, night, and morning. Marco, Levi, Martin, and Renate stayed the night, and we watched some Monty Python.
Muchos gracias everyone!

And here I am, lying on bed, iBook in front of me, writing blog entries, listening to some of the best music ever made. This is one of them moments where your head is filled with thoughts and memories of the night ‘fore, while at the same time, being scaringly empty as well.
Cos there’s something in a Sunday, makes a body feel alone.


Yup, indeed, it was another great experience. I especially loved the Monty Python movies…I don’t know how I could have missed that the past 19 years…
Anyway, let’s hope all of us celebrate their birthday as succesful as you did.
