Cheers Bonny.
I've been letting my standards slip and baiting Cleon at zappa.com, it's not really that much fun, but he gets so ridiculous sometimes. Anyway, I've
had enough and I'm thinking of coming clean and telling him I'm just taking the piss.
There won't be any time for stuff like that after this weekend, I just don't do anticipation very well.

B-day is approaching. First time in years I actually have something to ask for!

Mine's just passed. 58. Awesome.
My courses have only just started but I'm already getting the feeling that my change of plan was a good idea.

Dentist trip was fine! No cavities and I got to read a hundred pages from my book while waiting.

Quite long since my habit of leaving early and his habit of letting me wait a little (which I once put as a request so I could stay away longer from
school). Plus I'm a fast reader, even if the radio plays annoying shit. (I think Michael Jackson's Beat It was the best song I heard, and that says
something.)

Say what?
Not much adventure today... still working on elephants (and will post a picture of the Giant Elephant Mound that's growing here).
Good news from both Tim Curry-front (he's having a fan evening soon, tickets sold out but it will be recorded) and Dir En Grey-front (fresh DVD and
single out, and new album coming in November).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
The nefarious Hovenring out here suffered a lot of construction problems. It swayed in the wind too much, needed extra anchoring, took lots of time
and money. (all the while, an important road was closed for cars) It also suffered cracks in the asphalt and damage caused by a truck that had
underestimated its size.

I'm sure draining the swamps to make the dry land and canals, in Holland, didn't happen in a day, or without some expense

Let's say that, this thing's cost exceeding, during an economical crisis, causing a lot of traffic mayhem (= leading to extra traffic in residential
areas and additional traffic trouble in places where drivers try to avoid queues/), getting closed down again and again thus causing all that traffic
trouble again... that doesn't go down well. At the Carnaval parade in 2012 there was a float spoofing it, naming it "horrorring" (instead of
hovenring)

hahaha!
it's always so fresh to get the local perspective. Thank you!
We have so many broken things that we're all quite overwhelmed here. Making something new and useful is pretty low on the seeming endless list of
chronic problems all over the place that need more attention.
Got to write a complimentary piece giving some context on the times of Desiderius Erasmus today. That was fun to do
that really remains a future research project. I'll get to it in time.
This week in 1494 Columbus the Genoan explorer came inland to the Janisco River as Santo Tomas: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Santo_Tomas after 'building the first road'.
I know, all the names are wrong...

Nice Mardi Gras costume Bonny. I always love Carnival time!
I'm trying to get a roommate again. I have a nice Korean mom coming over to see if the room is acceptable for her son. They want him to stay with an
English speaking person for 3 months while he takes a total English emersion class*. Well, 3 months is better than none and I could really use the
bread right now. So today I'm cleaning everything, even the round corners and other hidden stuff in The Dangerous Kitchen at my house today!
Hey punknay, that link took me too a jibberish wiki site. Didn't understand a word of it!
*Won't they be surprised when I start speaking Zappaneze!
Edit: I rented the room out! I have a little room to move around in now, financially speaking.
The Hovenring thingy in Eindhoven looks like the same person designed it that designed the Sun Dial bridge in Redding, CA.. It too ran way over
budget.
