ugh, ít's completely unreasonable hot out here. i get cranky above 20C, very lazy and very cranky above 25C, and above 30C, you can scrape me of the floor. i think we're at 25 out here, to lazy to go to a thermometer.

furthermore, i've got 2 american and 2 dutch tax reports to finish foir school before monday, plus a comparison between the us and dutch social security systems.

bottom line:  it's to darn hot.


as for customs, i've got a funny text lyting around here, about what would happen if you'd put a woman and 2 men from a certain country on a island after a shipwreck. i'll translate it later.

Actually, it seems much cooler today, but that might be just because I haven't left the house all day.

I've smoked in front of cops before and I live in the States, but thats just just because of my natural invisiblity.(Must have some ninja in my blood;) )

Do you guys give people the finger over there?  I thought I heard that you had something else that means basicly the same thing.

Yeah, but I highly doubt it'll be enforced as it also means cops can't smoke while on duty (thats what I've heard).

And besides, this is what one of the coffeeshop owners told:

"No smoking? SPACECAKE FOR ALL!"

But I am 100% sure that this law will utterly fail as absolutely nobody besides some stupid assholes in the new government wants this :p

EDIT: And if you can't smoke inside, they'll do it outdoors and people won't be happy with that :p

Are you saying that right now that Dutch cops can smoke pot on duty?

well, exactly, the law is about smoking in public areas, and i pretty good IMHO. you can't smoke unless there's a none smoker section wich covers at least 30% of the total room, and has it's own fully seperated ventialtion section from the smokers room.

Spacecakes are nice, I had one last year at Reading festival and I vaguely remember the rest of the day after that. I think I saw Weezer :)

Too ****ing hot everywhere! Even West Yorkshire!

It should be raining. A Lot. It should be 15 degrees below absolute zero, but no! It has to be too bloody hot.

Work was a bloody nightmare today, 'twas akin to a sauna. They put skylights in the roof to let the light in, but they don't open so the heat can't get out. Bastards.

I hate summer so much. It's hot, it's long and it's too cheerful. I'm going to recreate Sean Connery's weather machine thingy and plunge this fair and sceptered isle in to eternal winter. Well, all of it except West Yorkshire.
