A Photo a Week #9 Parking in Holland.

The Netherlands is a rather densely populated area, in particular where I live.

Parking problems abound, so how to park your car a bit out of the way ?

During a walk in the centre of The Hague I found this sight :

The creativity of the Dutch.

Oh, the slanting parking in relation to the lines is not that un-common

This one I discovered after taking the photo, and checking it out.

I found this rear end of a car “sticking out” from the wall, so took the pic.

At home I found the true irony of it.
Take a look at the “number plate” and then compare with the brand. Yes – I had to laugh.

Low Budget

Brief review : “Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog”

A web story by Joss Whedon.

After having heard most people rave about this little show I finally got the DVD and watched the thing.

The beginning is quite funny, but for me the fun wears off quite quickly. I find it too repetitive and to me that gets boring. I probably have heard too much hype about how hilarious this is.

I have no problem with the production as such, and it probably deserved winning in its Hugo category.

It just did not bring much *to me*.

Sorry about that, guys. Don’t let this take away any of your enjoyment of the show.

6/10 on the Lurker’s scale
