this is my museum-quality rendering of chris the german ogre trying to use the internet. yes, so i am traveling, euro-style, until april 15. yesterday the ogre and i rented bikes and pedaled all round amsterdam. the ogre was very considerate of not going too fast for my noodly legs. my bike was too tall for me and it was hard to stop without faling over. i crashed into the ogre a couple times--but just a little each time. a tiny bit, really. * we went to the van gough museum but i think that my paintshop drawing was better than any of that snobby oil crap. * we are staying in a christian hostel with big "jesus loves you" signs on the walls. it is in the red light district. jesus loves you, but he also loves the titties! * we went to a few shops today and admired the euro fashion. the big thing is to wear tallish boots and tuck your pants into them. if the boots have fur or string on them, all the better. * well the ogre is drawing a picture of me in paintshop so i'd better stop typing before he makes it worse. keep it cool, my sweet, sweet babies!
