Nimavenl - Nicole's Random Ramblings

Jennifer Aniston is destructive to society? Oh come ON! Seriously?! Apparently she is, according to Fox News Commentator Bill O'Reilly. I've never heard of the guy, however reading this article about what he said on iVillage.com , I'm curious to see what else he comes up with! According to the article, Mr O'Reilly had a problem with remarks Aniston made while promoting her new comedy The Switch, in which she plays a single mother who gets pregnant through artificial insemination. What Jennifer said? Here goes... Earlier this week at an L.A. press conference, Aniston, 41, reportedly said, "Women are realizing it more and more, knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child....Times have changed....What is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents' days when you can't have children because you have waited too long." The Emmy-winning actress added, "The point of the movie ...

I'm annoyed at Blogger. Just slightly, mind you. I'd like to center the title of this blog. However, no matter what I try, the only way I can find to do so is to add the center tag to my blog title in the editor. Which means that my blog's title is "<" center ">" Random Ramblings "<" / center ">", which just doesn't quite do it for me. I can change the blog description field and center that text, however getting the title in the center... nope. Tried messing around with the html, however as I don't know enough about how *not* to screw everything up, I haven't found the solution yet. Will keep searching and hopefully figure out how to change the blog to my liking without screwing any other page elements up. In the meantime - if anyone knows exactly where to insert a title tag into the html without the tag showing up in the actual title, please help me out here!

I'm currently reading Linda Fairstein's latest book called Legal Legacy. She is one of my favourite authors, and I look forward to reading her books each and every time. For the author's website, check my links on the right. For a description of the book and the characters in it, go there too. In a nutshell, Ms Fairstein writes fiction based loosely on her own experiences as Assistant District Attorney for Manhattan's Sex Crimes Prosecution Unit in New York City. The main character of all her books, Alexandra Cooper, holds the same job. In this book, Alex investigates the death of a woman with connections to the New York Public Library, and the readers get taken inside the amazingly intricate world of the library system, book collectors and antique maps.

Vermaak me prima op deze regenachtige dag. Veel foto's genomen van de regen... Winterjas met capuchon aan zodat ik niet te nat wordt en een theedoek over mijn fototoestel zodat 'ie ook niet nat wordt... ;-) Regen / Rain | Nimavenl

Mijn missie vandaag met betrekking tot dit blog was om door oude blog entries te kijken en ze ietwat te saniteren als dat nodig was. Informatie weghalen die ik te persoonlijk vond, of juist een extra stukje schrijven bij een artikel van een paar maanden geleden zodat het - in mijn ogen - net iets beter klinkt. Ik had eigenlijk al lang in bed willen liggen, maar wilde deze taak afmaken, en kwam zo aan bij een entry die ik schreef op de avond van de verkiezingen. De verkiezingen die - let wel - op woensdag 09 Juni werden gehouden. Het is nu begin Augustus, we zijn bijna twee maanden verder en de heren in Den Haag zijn nog steeds aan het onderhandelen over wie het land de komende paar jaar zullen regeren. De VVD en PVV bleken de "grote winnaars" te zijn van de verkiezingen. Nederland wilde blijkbaar een rechtsere regering. De PvdA kreeg ook veel stemmen, terwijl het CDA van Balkenende veel stemmen moest inleveren (aan de VVD en PVV). We hebben naar een rechtse r...

"Most of US troops to leave Iraq by August 31st of this year" Saw this on the late news tonight and my first thought was  WOW, seriously?! It's about bloody time !!!  I didn't think it was a good idea when America 'invaded' Iraq in 2003, and while the US army's presence there has no doubt done a lot of good, I also wonder if the situation might not have been resolved better without intervention from the USA.
