I decided to go out for dinner and then check out the Torture Museum. I was intrigued by TerraZen Centre as it's Japanese-Carribean food fusion and all vegan. Yum! I hopped on Minty Fresh and went back out towards Amsterdam Centraal. On the way, I found a cute little boutique called La Rosa Curiosa which has new and vintage items. I decided to ( Read more... )

I'm sorry this whole thing is taking so damn long. *lol* With procrastination, not actually sitting at the computer when I'm home (I'm home sick today), having to look back for details, and uploading pics, you can see why I don't just have all the details plunked down quickly. It's time consuming! On the plus side, I adore this reminiscing and ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention that on the way back to the apartment, I stopped at one clothing boutique that was not vintage. They had a cute red sweatshirt that had "I LOVE YOU" written in white hearts on the front in their window. I went into the boutique and noticed that none of the items had price tags on them. That was a bit odd. I asked the ( Read more... )

I did a surprising amount of stuff on day 3 so it'll be best to separate this into a 2 parter: morning to mid-afternoon then evening to night. This first post will be more photo heavy than the next.

I was up early again as I had a countryside bike tour booked with Mike's Bike Tours. But first, tattoo reveal!

I was up early on May 14 as I had a tattoo appointment booked at House of Tattoos for 11:00. Though Google Maps said it was a 15 mins bike ride from the flat, I wanted to give myself at least an hour for when I'd inevitably get lost. Luckily, I only wandered slightly off the path and righted myself to get to my appointment on time. My ( Read more... )

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Ummm...didn't you go to Amsterdam after planning it for over 2 years? What gives? Why haven't you blogged about it?" I know, I know! How's about I post a bit at a time so I'm not overwhelmed and you're not bored. Deal? Deal ( Read more... )

Bossman, the lawyer I worked with for nearly 6 years and remained friends with, passed away yesterday. :( He was diagnosed with stomach cancer around Easter long weekend and immediately hospitalized. And now he's gone. I saw him on Sunday and we had a short visit. He was groggy from the medication, his breathing was laboured and deliberate, ( Read more... )

In the 10 years I've had this blog, I don't think I've ever gone this long without posting ( Read more... )

I know, I know. Over a month without posting? How the hell do I expect to keep any sort of readership ( Read more... )

Happy Kwanzaa, friends!

I hope everyone had a nice Xmas, whether you celebrate or not. Andrew spoiled me as he does every year. Seriously, I tell the guy not to go overboard every year and he doesn't listen. He got me The Naked Gun trilogy blu-ray, Anchorman blu-ray, True Blood season 5 blu-ray, ParaNorman blu-ray, The Walking Dead book nine ( Read more... )
