the only time i was in schipol my bag was pulled aside for a search. i was there with a friend who was returning to the states after several years in the peace corps in west africa, so i was carrying some of his excess stuff -- fortunately the long cylindrical item that caught security's eye was not a marital aid but a bike pump.
in the course of the search the woman noticed that i'd forgotten to mail my postcards and offered to do it for me. and she did! <3 the dutch

hakuna matata, everyone.

Welcome home! I hope you can just relax in your house with all your stuff, listening to quiet familiar sounds and just breathing in the air of home.

so welcome<3
mookie, we've never to an abl game but f. has very recently been reading up on it. also the dodgers/diamondbacks are supposedly going to play in sydney next year, he is more interested in that but it will no doubt be ludicrously expensive.

hey also, i somehow accidentally added seattle to my favorite cities on weather.com when i visited the first time, and it's stuck there and keeps telling me about your wonderful, non-oppressive weather!
― spite n ease (harbl), Sunday, 2 June 2013 23:39 (eleven years ago) link
I am sunburnt and there is vegetation in my hair from being outside in our weather. Sunshine just makes me suspicious these days.
― jaq, Sunday, 2 June 2013 23:54 (eleven years ago) link
I was just tonight thinking about how much i wished i was in Seattle because every time i walk the dog the heat/humidity combo makes me feel like i need a shower/change of clothes. I don't want to live where you can't wear jeans!!!
― tehresa, Monday, 3 June 2013 03:34 (eleven years ago) link
Also i think the Seattle weather makes it easier to go jogging.

!! we were just talkng about how when we go to visit you we can tour around my old neighborhood !!
― lxy, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 02:36 (eleven years ago) link
i was on my way to la plata to go to the weirdest jail where the inmates where stripes and my client had her hand chained to the wall the whole time. i was surprised at how rural upper marlboro was, and how many old motels it had.
― spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 6 August 2013 22:05 (eleven years ago) link
inmates *wore* stripes
yah, super rural considering how close it is to DC. i don't remember the old motels though. maybe they weren't old when i lived there, lol.
that hand chaining sounds awful.
― lxy, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 22:26 (eleven years ago) link
i might have been in waldorf, it was such a long drive it was all a blur. la plata was ugly.
― spite n ease (harbl), Wednesday, 7 August 2013 00:35 (eleven years ago) link
when i saw the motels. somewhere between UM and waldorf.
