The joys of eating home-made crème brûlée totaly outweigh the hassle of making home-made crème brûlée.
While I knew about American football, I never knew there’s such a thing as an American football indoor league. And apparently, you can rent out the space in the black stuff beneath your eyes as advertising space.
In other sports—and I’m [...]
Last week, I wasn’t the only one whose internet connection crapped out.
Unicorns do exist, invisible pink ones too.
Tom Egberts is 50+.

A selfportrait by Rembrandt that wasn’t discovered until last year when it turned up at an auction—Rembrandt Laughing—can be seen in the Rembrandthuis in Amsterdam until june 29th.

A short list of things I can’t quite make sense of at the moment:
Having to leave the most kick-ass concert of the year early (thus missing most of the encore) to catch the last train home;
Having a train stand still on the tracks for a good ten minutes, then backing up, wait some more for [...]
