My son's art. He loves to draw, just like his mum :).

I might be prejudiced, but I think he's incredibly good at it too.

RIP 2008

2008 was the year of the rat, according to our Chinese friends. I'm not a natural born optimist, so I try to avoid watching the yearly news overview. I always do, though, knowing very well that all the wars, dying babies and natural disasters will make me believe that every year things are getting worse, that our planet is doomed and mankind is on a one-way path to selfdestruction.

One big, shining bright light within al this misery, though, was Obama's election. Let's all hope this is truly the beginning of the change this world desperately needs.

Just a little something in between to test my blogfeed on facebook. On this note, I would like to congratulate those facebookguys with the first application that doesn't involve ranking 'my cutest friends', sending virtual hugs or friendship fairies, finding out what my mob name would be or what kind of christmas decoration symbolises my personality.
