DC typography

in an attempt to distract myself from unemployment,
i have been biking aimlessly throughout the DC area.


the signs here are pretty interesting -
more interesting than most of the people
to say the least.


there's an interesting back alley full of ethnic stores
that i need to visit soon to find some berbere.
(berbera is used primarily in ethiopian cuisine, btw)


and believe you me i plan on dumping here soon!

missing miss cleo

so i'm watching TV and playing cards again.
funny how no matter in which country i am
i manage to watch the worst garbage on TV::



i love the way she shuffles!
also i love that this is her actual profession.
maybe there's hope!

amsterdam was fun.
besides witnessing these amazing people, i was unconscious in the streets at one point, my face twitching against the wet ground. fun! two random people helped me up and got the bartender, who force fed me some pills and a sugary drink to perk me right back up! i ended up having the energy to get lost for 4 more hours, wait outside the same gas station i had peed behind earlier in the day (in the pouring rain), and drag my bedraggled, soppy body to bed. all in all a most memorable trip!
