I’ve found a new subject of interest : “The Ancient Alien Theory” aka “Ancient Astronauts”.
This means, quoting Wiki :

According to certain authors, intelligent extraterrestrial beings called ancient astronauts or ancient aliens have visited Earth, and this contact is connected with the origins or development of human cultures, technologies, and religions. A common variant of the idea include proposals that deities from most – if not all – religions are actually extraterrestrials, and their technologies were taken as evidence of their divine status

I was bored and suddenly felt like looking up some stuff about aliens and then I came across a reference towards the 5 episode series from History Channel called : “Ancient Aliens”, which you can watch on YouTube if you click HERE.
It instantly spurred my interest, or I wouldn’t bother writing about this with my painful arms and hands, and I’ve been looking up more information about it ever since.
This forum, from Legendary Times, is very nice when you like to read discussions about it.

There is a lot of, to me, convincing evidence about it but sadly some people are frauds and have really tarnished the Theory by faking material or simply not showing the entire picture or translation and just show what they like and which supports their theory.

I finally found a name for the light brown mouse : Taja, this comes from the Old French word tané which means light brown and Raymond jokingly asking whether there was a Taja too (in English you can see the names as Tano and Tayes. )

This morning I spent some time on updating my website again. At the top I added my new avatar, I merged the 3D art pages and gave the silhouette art their own page.
This is the large version of my new avatar by the way. :

My old avatar isn’t accurate anymore so I decided to make a new one.

My piercing has been healing really well so far and I only have to clean it twice a day. The first time, while I take my morning shower, I clean it with water and the second time, before I go to bed, I clean it with Tea Tree Oil.

After I came back from taking Chewie for a 1.5 hour walk in the forest last Sunday morning I was about to change Liadans water when I had the feeling that something was wrong. So I checked her out and found her death curled up in her favorite sleeping position.
She was about 1.5 years old, which isn’t to bad for a hamster, and at least I’m glad that her death was peaceful.
I buried her in a nice grassy spot outside.

Yesterday I bought these 2 cute little mice :

It was easy to come up with a name for the black and white one because of her markings. I’m calling her Zora, which is based on Zoro of course, since she just looks as if she’s wearing a mask and cape.
I don’t have a name for the light brown one but I’m sure I’ll figure out something.
The black and white one was born around May 18 and the brown one a week later.
Caria and Daria seem to accept them pretty well and except for some squeaking from time to time, everything is peaceful in their box.

Last Friday I went to a tattoo artist to see how much it would be to redo my Star Wars tattoo since it didn’t turn out to well 1.5 years ago. He told me that he’d do it for 25 euro’s and that he had plenty of time to do it straight away so that’s finally redone.
The guy is really nice and does a great job so I can really recommend him. He does it from his home and calls his business : “Tattoo Studio Shadow”. Here you can find examples of tattoo’s he’s done so far.

And last night I gave myself a nose piercing :

Making the hole wasn’t that hard. I simply disinfected everything, used a large safety pin which I put in slowly but steadily, giving my nose time to numb down, to make the hole and I stuck a tampon in my nose so I had something to push into and catch the blood in case it would start to bleed a lot (which it didn’t).

After this came the hard part though, sticking in the piercing…
This is the one I bought :
The curve makes sure that it doesn’t fall out as easily but it also makes it extremely hard to put it in. Especially when you just made the hole and don’t have any experience with putting ina nose piercing. It took me nearly 2 hours to get it in but I really like the result.
Now it’s just a matter of disinfecting the hole at least 3 times a day and hope that it doesn’t get infected.

My lenses didn’t work out as well as I had hoped since my eyes kept on becoming really dry so I ordered a new pair of glasses and sunglasses which should me done any day now.

I’ve made 2 new Apophysis pictures and 2 more silhouettes :

Ps : last night I made this cute little movie of me playing with Neesha.

Last Thursday we (my sister, Ray and a friend of ours) went to the Efteling. The Efteling is a large Dutch Amusement Park which we like to visit from time to time. The last time for me was at least 10 years ago and for the others it was similar or even more.

My fitness buddy and her husband were supposed to come too but they couldn’t make it due to health problems. Take care both of you!

It was still a lot of fun with just the 4 of us and we’ve made a bunch of photo’s. I don’t have the others yet but I’ve put mine in a folder at Photobucket.
You can click here to see them or simply watch the slideshow below (on my website).

I’ll update the folder once I have all the photo’s.

This is a short video which I made while we were at Monsieur Cannibal.

I’m glad that I had reserved a wheelchair for myself since I really needed it. It was really nice at some of the attractions too since you don’t have to stand in line and can simply wait for the employees to grant you and 2 or sometimes even 3 of your companions spots at the attraction.

The weather was great and it wasn’t to busy at the older attractions so we were able to visit most of our favorite ones.
You can find a list of the attractions here and these are the ones we visited :
The Bobsleigh Run “Bobbaan”
Carnaval Festival
The Mysterious Ship ‘De Vliegende Hollander’
Dream Flight “Droomvlucht”
Fata Morgana
Half Moon
Monsieur Cannibale
Python
Piraña
Fairytale Forest
Sprookjesboom
Joris en de Draak

I didn’t go on the Vliegende Hollander and Joris en de Draak because my back was already hurting to much but I really want to go next time.
