Aah righty.... pretty much the same standard stuff really...
Still in paris, still working, the work i'm doing is actually going right (oh no, i've probably just jinxed myself!!!)
Just a few things:
� who got to decide which words were feminine and which words were masculine?
.What makes a book masculine and a letter feminine?
.grr
� I think i got lied to by a scary vagrant.... but at least he didn't steal my bag.
� Went to the massive cemetary at P�re Lachaise.... saw a few graves (Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Chopin, some dude with a magical crotch (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3975607.stm), Bizet, Balzac and Proust) got lied to by aforementioned vagrant (hence me not seeing Jim Morrison's grave)... pretty standard day really
� How do you tactufully tell someone to go away when you don't speak the same language as them?..... it seems i am a magnet for crazy people.
� Went to Amsterdam on the weekend to visit counsin that i potentially recall seeing once ever before!
.Very cool city indeed, kind of like a bigger more relaxed version of Kings Cross (in Sydney) with less people yelling at you trying to go into their clubs.
.However, i have now, the sorest bottom in the whole world. The first time i have ridden a bike since i was about 12. ouch.
. I saw clogs, tulips, a windmill and loads of ladies standing in windows in their underwear.... what more could you ask for??? (mental note: buy some glow in the dark underpants, very alluring)
. (i did also see some of those loverly ornaments that nannas always have.... white things with blue painted designs... in very intersting shapes that would give most nannas a few heart attacks... so i purchased a snow globe instead)
. The train there and back was not too shabby at all. Only 4 hours to pass out of one country, go completely through another and halfway through another! Very surreal.
� Off to Bruges next week to spend a romantic Valentines day weekend with Beck (who you may or may not know)....indulging in beer and chocolates and windmills... mmm.... hopefully they speak as much English there as they do in Amsterdam.
� Don't you love bullet points?
� ummmmmmm
� They are supposedly on strike here at work today.... even though everyone is here.... oh well... nothing to do with me! I am busy working... getting psyched to inhale some more Legionella and soke myself with various chemicals being pumped from numourous hoses and tubes (never ask me what i do for a living!!! - no seriously i am a VERY serious science type guy)
� errr....
� that's all i have to report really....
I have added a few pictures from Christmas day (me wondering what the white stuff falling from the sky is, Smiley's smelly dog and Smiley... i'm sure he will be thrilled that i have sent people his photo... but ha ha ha... no one can stop me now!!!! - uh oh, i've completely lost it) that were kindly put onto a disk for me... it seems the ones from New Years didn't get transferred properly... oh well.... more enjoyment for next time!
also... dont forget to come visit me!!!
also also, i think you should let me know how YOU are!
