So, I didn’t do much this weekend except catch up on Lost –we’ve now finally moved on to season 3. I think BF and I watched about 10 hours of Lost spread across the weekend. We also went to the movies and watched Komt Een Vrouw Bij De Dokter.
Synopsis: Rich couple are in love; wife allows husband to have sex with other women. Wife gets breast cancer; husband feels like he’s losing his wife and replaces her with a surrogate. Wife gets better; husband comes back to her. Wife gets sick again; husband decides he’s going to stick around this time. This is an “ode to love”; more a story of how a husband deals with his sick wife– first by being an egotistical bastard and then growing-up and learning to be there for his wife. Did I cry- No. Could I have cried- Yes. The movie does give (I believe) a realistic depiction of what it is like to fight cancer, that in and of itself is something hard to watch. To think that some people here in Holland think it’s cool to curse with such a disease.
To do-list:
- The Game: Cheating part II
- Call career counselor

I’m not ready to commit myself to a volunteer program. It’s not something you apply for and then decide that you don’t feel like doing. Still, I would like to do something, however small and insignificant. March 19th & 20th are national volunteer days here in Holland. Many organisations will have a specially set up program that you can join in on these two days. I’m thinking of registering for one of the programs in my town. On the website: www.nederlanddoet.nl you can register for a program near you.
So I was at work slacking off, looking at a restaurant both BF and I once talked about going to. I wanted to surprise him and make a reservation for our 2-year(and 1 month) anniversary celebration. No more than 2 minutes later did I get a phone call from him. He was in town earlier that day and saw a new restaurant; he wanted to try it out: The Living Room.
It was held at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. It was a three day event which started on Friday and ended on Sunday. After hours of contemplating whether or not my boyfriend and I should go– as I was suffering from a UTI– I finally decided to suck it up (and hold it) and go to the Kamasutra Fair. As it turned out, I did not regret going! We spent a combined total of €200,- euros on sex-toys and other products.
The Fair:
The Kamasutra Fair was jam packed, and that for a Sunday evening! The entrance fee was € 22,- on Saturday and only € 17,50 on Friday and Sunday. I expected to see many more naked people walking around for some strange reason. However, the booth-managers and visitors were (mostly) your everyday average people. The booths ranged from the non-erotic (aquariums, photo shoots and interior design) to the downright triple X (sex-toys, live shows and dvd’s). You could only enter the “mazes” and live sex-shows as a couple –pervy wankers not allowed. There was a screened off center stage with live erotic shows, but I didn’t really stick around long enough, because I could not see much. All in all the fair was worth the € 17,50 and was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon with my BF. The next Kamasutra Fair is on September 24-26.
