Just a quick thought here, but I really, really want to be a fiets-taxi driver.
Can’t you just see me pedalling around town all day in one of these???
The urge is overwhelming. I think it comes from sitting at home working for 4 years. I’m ready to get out of the house and get some fresh air. (And make money of course.)
Too bad I want to do this just as the bad weather is approaching, but what doesn’t kill me will certainly make me stronger.

The highlight of my birthday (the actual day, not the night out over the weekend) was buying a lovely pair of vegan winter boots and then sitting at home and watching Evil Dead, which I added to my horror movie collection for a cool €2.50. What a steal!
There’s just something about awesome 80’s horror movie special affects that tickles me to the core. Although the acting was so atrocious that I was yelling at the TV set.
Also found for €2.50: Black Sheep, Saw (the original- the rest were crap!), The Descent (I have a special place in my heart for this one), and Shawshank Redemption.
Vegan boots & Horror Movies: BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

I LOVE Black Sheep! It doesn’t hurt that the guy who helped with the sound effects/SFX is Age Pryor, a NZ musician I’m a huge fan of and have exchanged the odd e-mail with over the past few years. You can read about some of the sound effects recordings here: http://www.musicofsound.co.nz/blog/black-sheep-fx-recording-4

Seaweed! That’s insane! I started studying film a little while back and one of the most interesting things we did was take a film clip and find and distort sounds to make the sound effects. Fascinating stuff! Thanks for the link!

I love your boots!! Please tell me I can find them online? Please!!

Awww I just had a look at the brand (Graceland) and couldn’t find any online store! Maybe you’ll have more luck? There was a whole wall of the same brand (all fake leather) so I hope you have better luck! I found a lot of the collection here: http://www.vanharen.nl but not those actual boots.

Are you sure those boots are vegan though? I mean, glue and stuff?

Loving the boots, and its definitely ok to wear white after labor day, especially if its “winter” white!

I was about 9 when Evil Dead came out, and my sister would have been 7. Somehow we got it on video (VHS) and watched it a couple of times over a weekend. I barely slept for a week!
