• There will be a dearth of new photos since I don't have a cable for my cameraphone, or the little bluetooth attachment for my phone and my free data distro service has expired.
• Last night I went to meet up with Peter and Jeff and Bryan at de Balie, where they are having an Adaptive Path seminar (and where they have this horrific wallpaper in the upstairs balcony of a closeup a man's body hair). I also met Marrije, GNE player and fellow booklover, who was taking the seminar, and who gave me a lovely little crocheted bone for Dos Pesos. I wish I could take a picture, it is darling. After the cocktails, we headed over to de Koe, "the cow" where I we had dinner with some Dutchies and BBC folks.
• I have been rereading Mason & Dixon while I am here, one of my favorites.
• I watched Thirteen, and Rogerio has lent me Happiness.
• The other night at the Cafe de Waag Rogerio drank a beer while I had a glass of wine, and he said that one of the wonderful things about his new policy of buying fewer books is that he is slowly reading all the books he already owns. We talked also about Walter Pichler's Prototypen, Constant Nieuwenhuys' Utopian architecture, the island of Yap, where everyone's mouth is red from chewing betelnut, the difficulty of running our own businesses and the sirenlike call of the Regular Job.
