Tee hee! That's fun... then again, the "asshole" is also parked at the hospital. Maybe the passenger needed much space for a wheelchair to roll up the
side.
The thing about French (which I did for six years in high school, I was great at it but barely half a year after I graduated I found it had slipped
very badly) is that grammatically it's a lot easier than Dutch or German. With possible exception of verb conjugation, but that's pretty nasty in the
Germanic languages as well.
My problem is with listening. It goes very, very fast, and half of the letters you read are swallowed by the speaker.

Today? Dad's coming back. I promised I'd try to clean the living room a little, but it didn't work.

Hey! Did you get married without telling us?
Dad had organized a BBQ with some 120 former employees of one of his old companies. I came along to help out and make some photos. So we're both
totally exhausted today.

Every person performs a part in the play called Life.
Today my part was The Git Who Forgets To Weigh His Apples At The Supermarket.

Having a hard day today... and yesterday too... discovered I didn't just miss out on Les Claypool and Pat Metheney and Mozart's Requiem, but also on
another of my favourite groups, DAAU. I was so looking forward to seeing them again, their 2006 album Domestic Wildlife was on every day for ten
months.
And now it looks like I can't make ZPZ either. I definitely can't get the day off.

the first thing I thought when I realized I could not go this year was, "Well, I can't do everything I want to."
and the next was, "I should get a show via bittorrent any day." And I did.
Depressed thoughts of not 'being with the others' floated away.

If I lived there and had a way to go, you certainly would not miss it.

I guess I'm going to take up a suggestion by SabreTooPhairy. Yes, shoot me. I'm going to bring my bicycle on the train with me.
The thing with that OV stuff I'm nagging about on the Zappa-forum: It's an awful system, currently it's only obligated in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. You
buy this plastic credit card, load it with money.
If you want to travel by bus or streetcar, you have to wave the card past the reader until it beeps, then there's 4 euros taken from your credit, and
at the arrival point you check out, and the money minus the travelling fee is restituted on your account. Travelling fee is 78 cents per kilometer
(roughly 0.65 miles).
The Melkweg is not that close to Amsterdam Central Station. It's 2.1 km.
OV will round that up to 3 km.
If I want to go to Melkweg by public transport, I will need E 6.34 at least. The trip costs E 4.68 altogether, and the remaining money will probably
stay on that card for the next five years.
Plus buying an anonymous card costs E 7,50 anyway.

Oh well, I'm back at work in a week. That's kind of awesome, exciting and dreadful all at once. I'm sure I'll be fine, but it crept up real quick.
Everything else is going well with me, I've got my guitar chops back. I'm regaining some muscle definition and looking less like a starving refugee
with every day.

Had several gallons of rain poured over me. Tonight Dweezil is playing an open-air venue nearby. Hmmm?
(contemplates on going)

Too late to leave now...
Bought the new DAAU last Wednesday, but it turned out to be a let-down. Only listened to the first two tracks so far. That took 25 excruciating
minutes.  Man, I was looking forward to that album, considering DAAU's
2006 album didn't leave the CD-player for ten months, but to have spent a large amount on a fancy wooden jewelcase...
