Went to school today, had a drink with two friends of mine, went back to school. Went to check up on the computer of a friend of mine, it was working fine. Went to play some basketball, which went pretty good, but I didn't stay long.

I just had a silly idea for the default theme (that I threw together on the 24th) for my website. It's a series of 1's and 0's on the background that say repeatingbackground in binary. The idea isn't exactly new, but then again, should it be? Anyway, I played with the string of 1's and 0's in Adobe PhotoShop for a few seconds, and I'm actually pretty contend with the result. I particulary like the shadow that seems to be casting from the content table (which is actually a div) in some optical illusion that seems to be caused by the structure that is formed by those tiny 1's and 0's.

Number 22, what do you want from me?

Number 22 just keeps returning in my life the weirdest ways. Just now I was sitting at my computer, while the sound of the television was playing in the background. It was tuned in on the channel RTL4, and it was introducing the soon to come new TV show, Casino Kings. In short, the game is about Dutch celebreties that are going to play in a casino (which is located in the city I live in). People at home can put money on these celebreties, remotely putting their money in the hands of the celebrity. Anyway, they were giving short introductions on the different celebrities, stating their style of playing (if any), and their lucky number. When the introduction of Wendy van Dijk (a TV host for who I carry a soft spot) started, I thought to myself: Number 22... A cold cold shiver ran down my spine as they pronouced the words... Her lucky number is twenty-two.

What do you want from me, mister number Twenty Two?

P.S. I don't believe in these occult deeper meanings of numbers, but these kind of things can freak me out for a good 5 seconds.

P.P.S. Wendy is cute.
