Some fun photos.


 
Pierce's Pity Pie (which magically materialized on his birthday.)

I mades it!  With homemade maple sugar, too.

...And the appropriate number of candles to boot.

Erik left Zuiderzeeweg yesterday... Emmet left today.  Amsterdam just won't be the same.  Efff.

warmer days in A'dam

Oh, canals.

Gabriela and Erik, pretending to be beached whales.

teensy update.

Sylvia, César and I on his birthday, with his gift.

Bloggees,
There's been plenty to blog about recently (like tattoo conventions and Jonsi concerts and bike trips to the Noordzee and Nuit blanche and Bolzano reading groups and birthdays and barbecues, for starters), but I've been slacking.  I do, however, promise future cross-processed slide photos (since my Holga finally made it here from Halifax)!  And of Vienna of all places, if all goes well.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some Husserl to wrestle.

Sometimes, Pitchfork puts it right

"The characters in National songs have real jobs, have uninteresting sex, get drunk, and lie to one another. They do so during the regular course of a workaday week, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The National aren't 'dad-rock' so much as 'men's magazine rock': music chiefly interested in the complications of being a stable person expected to own certain things and dress certain ways."

Some days, in pictures

Saturday

Sunday
(...It's clearly ridiculous to expect further photos the day after such a Saturday.)

Monday

Another trip along the IJsselmeer.

The sun was out today, so I biked to Marken and took these photos.  Enjoy!

It's the Paard van Marken!

One of the three bike paths around Marken.

starting to learn to program.

From my book on Python: "A programmer will eventually tell you to use Mac OSX or Linux. If the programmer likes fonts and typography they’ll tell you to get a Mac OSX computer. If they like control and have a huge beard then they’ll tell you to install Linux."
