Passover is here

Happy Paasover!

Avacado Trees

My lovely avacafo trees have survived yet another long cold winter
inside the house.

I started with five and now have three. 'tis a joy!

Filthy Art

It's not good, but it is dirty!

V for Vendeta

I've completely forgotten how much I love this movie. It's very
reactionary.

Tommorrow will be a day of grocery shopping and studying. :(

Going to Berlin

There are some things that I have become better at as I get older. One of those things is effective traveling. Years ago I would roam around cities, not really seeing anything of importance, eat shitty food, and then go home- and I enjoyed it. But that was yesteryear and I am a changed person.

I am going in a week to Berlin, and unlike a few years ago, I am going to plan a schedule that will make my four day visit effective and hopefully fun. Although I am not set yet with my schedule, I am set with what I will not do:

Drink every night and wake up at 2pm the next day.
Only eat falafel and shoarma
Take taxicabs
Talk to the local homeless (although I am not sure about this one)

What to do?

My blog is in need of a serious renaisance. I have not been diligent, and many of my posts have been about posting.

I am going to Africa this summer, which is great.

Books for 2009

I've decided that my big goal for 2009 will be to read more and more books. This is very difficult if you are already following a Universersity study, but I shall succeed. For the first half of 2009 I will read at least the following books...

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
Godenslaap by Erwin Mortier
Netherland by Joseph O'Neill
De Generaal met zes vingers by Yasmine Allas
