Terrible neglect

I have been terribly neglectful of this blog over the past week and for that I am sorry. Given the assignment about sacred blue Egyptian baboons hanging over my head I am just going to list the things that have happened recently, and then fill in more later. In the past week I have visited the Van Gogh museum, the Rijksmuseum, the Allard Pierson Egyptology museum, been to a 44th birthday party for my two 22 year old friends, gone to a funk club, had a drink with a toasted marshmallow in it that I toasted on a bar, shopped at the Albert Cuyp market, gone to the Heineken museum, read 80 + pages about the mollusks that produce purple dye, read 80 + pages about Philip the Good of Burgundy who consolidated the low countries, biked with a bouquet of flowers to my friend Esther's house for dinner, bought a ticket to Istanbul for November 5-8, fixed my ticket for Oslo for October 1-4, watched a very good movie called City Island, received the MOST AMAZING package from my Grammy and Papa, AND had a visit from Joe Willens which was so, so nice. Anyway, this sort of blogging is very silly and I will not do it in the future. And I will tell stories about some of these things as soon as I make it out of the part of my week when I do homework. Which is not so much. Love always, Julie

  2. yay, another blog post! It certainly does sound like you are feeling better! I have never been to a 44 year old bday party. That sounds like fun though :-) Good luck with your homework!

  3. I am making up for lost time indeed. But I promise I will not get sick again!! Love you too family family. Thanks for the comment Lanseroo. 44th birthday parties are really fun it seems to me. Maybe we should look forward to mid-life as well as old age after all. I hope everything is good with you over in the two times Walla. I miss you lots.
