Sordid lives

Tonight we watched the movie ‘Sordid Lives’ (again). We went for dinner at Wim’s place, actually Carla cooked a fabulous Thai meal. After dinner we watched the aforementioned movie. It still is funny, even when we’ve seen it about ten times. (See the trailerhere.)

It almost makes you want to visit Texas, to see if life is really like that over there. My favourite character is Sissy, played by Beth Grant. Wonderful hair.

In a time where there seems to be an increase in violence directed at gays, even here in Amsterdam, it’s good to see people accepting ‘alternative lifestyles’.

Wim turned 50

Wim turned fifty last April, but this past Sunday we celebrated. He threw a very nice party in the “Huis met de Hoofden” (the house with the heads) here in Amsterdam. Some of Nick’s collegues came over especially, as did a few American guests. We (i.e. Jan) organised a chorus for Wim, and we sang four songs to celebrate Wim’s many qualities. I guess you had to be there.

But it was a very successful party, and I (like to) think that Wim had a good time. So now it’s on to the next 50th birthday. I think it’s Kees’ turn…
