Confused

OK, so first of all, the instructions on this blog are in Dutch. This is regrettable, highly irritating and confusing. I have many things to say, none of them nearly as exciting as smed and tommy's scintillating drunken gchat. Let's make a list, kids.

1. I live for free in a 17th century house by myself on a canal in central Amsterdam. In the crisp summer mornings, the sun glints off the water and I bike over gently sloping canal bridges. Suck it, biatches.

2. My recent blog addiction, supplanting Daily Kos: digbysblog.blogspot.com/

3. Two links: "Words in a Time of War," a recent commencement speech delivered to the Dept. of Rhetoric at UC Berkeley. A depressing piece in the New Yorker about the Abu Ghraib scandal (they knew, they knew, they knew, they didn't care, and they fired the ones who told them).

4. Books I've read recently and recommend:
-Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
-The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon (a very nice airplane)
-The MLK trilogy (pillar of fire) by Taylor branch. The first one is mind-blowing. The second is great but not as good as the first. The third one isn't sold in The Netherlands.

5. Time to go outside. I might drink wine in the vondelpark today.

6. Kel, how the hell did you convince us all to write on a blog? This is ridiculous.
