Blogosphere news from you friendly OSS dude.

My wife and a friend of mine have arranged tickets to the Monaco Formula 1 GP this year :)
They've been arranging this for quite some time and were able to keep it from me since january but eventually they told me.
I was totally surprised but what a surprise :)
We'll be sitting at the swimming-pool section of the track which is a great spot if you ask me.

Today was the launch of the new officespace from my employer.
The facilities there are much better than that of the previous building and is much bigger aswell.
I got in early to avoid the trafficjams and to have a good parking spot in the underground parkinggarage.

Today my wife and I went looking for the buildsite for our new house.
After a short car trip we found the site.
Buildsites are usually closed during the weekend and this site was no different.
A small fence blocked the road leading to the spot our house is going to be build, so we had to walk to our spot.
The new house is a "water" type house so the garden is facing a little stream.
Currently only the outlining of the ground floor is build but this does give us a view how much extra space the additional 2.5 meters (a build option we've chosen to take) will provide.
You can find some very early pictures of our new house Here.

We bought ourselves a new kitchen yesterday :)
After 2 full days of searching and trying to play various companies against eachother we got the cool kitchen deal we were looking for.
This upcoming Friday we're gonna shop for our new bathroom.
Shopping for a new kitchen was pretty tough, but then again, noone said getting your shit together for your new house was gonna be easy.

Me and my wife have been out all day looking for a kitchen for our new house (the house should be finished around december this year). We started at 9 am and finished up at about 6 pm.
We haven't finalized anything yet but we have an option for a pretty sweet deal which we need to decide on this upcoming monday.
Tomorrow we're gonna meet my wife's family who have offered to actually install the kitchen saving us lots of cash ... w00t :)

Yesterday, I managed to get 2 tickets for the Kill Bill movie marathon only to find out a colleague from work will also be going.
So 3 guys working for the same company going to the same marathon :)

Oh yeah, btw (onto another topic): I'm currently playing the videogame Splintercell based on the ever fantastic stories of author Tom Clancy.
I only started this game very recently due to the time spent playing NFSU.
My life needed a good replacement game and splintercell is certainly looking to make good on that.

Next week a Kill Bill movie marathon will be held at the Pathe Arena moviecomplex in Amsterdam.
I haven't seen volume 1 yet so hopefully that's gonna be a treat, both volumes on the same night ... that is if I ever get of my lazy ass and arrange the tickets.
I asked a friend to go with. He said yes so /me gotta get those tickets.
