First thing I did when I woke up today was head to the gym. After a short workout session and a quick lunch, a HUGE thunderstorm struck. Since it’s been soooo hot and humid here, this storm was quite a blessing since it cooled down the town.
However, it prevented me from accomplishing my errands today because apparently stores just close down when the rain is too intense… what an absurd place. Things like this shouldn’t shock me since I’ve lived in Leuven for a little more than 7 months now, but I was still surprised by this. Anyways, I returned to the huis and studied the remainder of the day for my upcoming final exam.
I’ve lived in Leuven all of my life and I’ve never known shops close because it was raining. That would be ridiculous, even for our standards of opening hours. So crazy coincidence?

It’s a big enough umbrella…
Edumacate me, please!
These have recently popped everywhere in my real existence. They’re in my work cafeteria and I’ve heard several people say how great they are, but no one has told me WHY.
So, my dear Tumblr friends, can someone please explain (in more words than “they’re awesome” or “love them” or “they make rainbows grow”) why specifically these are amazing? Is it the chocolate? Is the ice cream extra creamy? Is the shell extra thick?
Also, bonus points if you know why they’re called Magnum, which just makes me think of condoms and Tom Selleck, but not chocolate or ice cream.
I can’t reply, so I’ll reblog. It’s Belgian chocolate. (I see now it says so on the box but still…) Obviously the ice cream is really good too but it’s Belgian chocolate! (did I mention I live in Belgium?). Also the stick it’s on does not taste like cardboard (maybe that’s not a problem in the States but here all the fake Magnums have sticks that taste like cardboard).
Faithless, Moby and Michael Jackson are helping me getting through writing a paper on Dutch Songbooks in the 17th century.
