hey there folks,

i'm coming to you live from gina marie's basement, where her wonderful ibook resides. i'm way too important and busy to give you an overview of my trip right now, but here are the highlights so far:

- the new djeems
- 110 degree weather. wahoo.
- casually have lunch at the top of a hill with the most spectacular view ever
- being on a 16 hour flight and NOT go through withdrawal. yahoo!
- starbucks. in 'n' out. matt's. judy's bbq.
- the dollar (sorry! not really though)
- seeing three wonderful friends and meeting some new wonderful people
- finding 2 dollar army cargo shorts for yannick
- teaching people how to pronounce yannick

I'M GOING TO A BASEBALL GAME TOMORROW!!!!!

more later

3 more days. 3 DAYS!

i've just seen the weather forecast for sacramento...

and of minneapolis...

packing will be an interesting challenge.

blah blah yadda yadda

fyi - i'm coughing my lungs out. who said non-smokers are healthier?

what i ate today (no i'm not starting a diet blog, i'm just here to shock you all)

granola with non-fat milk (i guess that's okay)
gazillion cups of coffee
whole weat role with meat loaf (of the dutch variety)
yoghurt & cream jammed with SUGAR, FAT and other goodies
three white wine
a whole lot of deep fried appetizers (we had drinks after work. at a bar. where to serve this food of the devil)
a hand full of tortilla chips
about 15 sweets to get me through the day
1/3 of a pint (? 1/3 of 500 cl at least) of ben & jerry's cookie dough (which i don't even like)

yeah, i know.

so we're having friends over for dinner this friday, and it's queen's day in two days. but, starting may 5, i will be on a diet. the first real diet i've been on in... 20 years. and not to loose weight, but to keep myself from really getting overweight. because i'm pushing it.

i'm not going on fourty, looking like fifty because i haven't slept in two years, rocking the skin of 14 year old on clearasil, with a bad attitude due to nicotine deprivation, ONLY to be carrying around two of me as well.

whine whine bitch bitch
so how was your day?

a.a.t.

1. i'm getting a new passport tomorrow. it looks like i'm actually making it this year!

2. yes, i'm still cigarette-less. and fat as hell. but whatever.

don't tell anyone

but i'm going to see john mayer in june, here in the hague. he's headlining a mini festival 'picnic in the park' and sarah told me to go. needless to say, i bought tickets (since i'm such an obedient person).

ever since i got the tickets i'm frantically trying to decide what kind of t-shirt to wear. because i want the t-shirt to say "you're just the gazillionth guy with a guitar so tone it down a bit" without wearing a text across the chest that says "you ain't got nothing on buckley". without it being too obvious, in other words.

i don't know. like anyone will care, right.

so, is the verdict on obama/clinton in, yet? it's getting BORING!!! interesting dilemma though, right? pick obama and you're sure to lose, pick clinton and it's bush 2000 all over again (this is from a dutch elective system point of view though).

blablabla esther shut up.

okay.

see, i'm obedient.
