Damnit, I'm going to be productive today! I've had my coffee and I'm ready to go. I even made a do to list, detailing my cornucopia of prospective work, including writing this blog entry, making an outline for a french video project, creating an EU powerpoint presentation, and writing a ecology essay for another french class. Today, I will do all of these things and more. In fact, I am surprised to announce that I made a friend from the EM, and we will be going bar hopping tonight. I even wrote several new riffs and did laundry this morning. On top of that, I almost always write my blog on Sunday, and today is Saturday. What the hell is wrong with me? Oh, what fun! Frabjous day, kaloo kalay!
It isn't often that I make friends, but when I do, I choose Dos Equis...er, I consider them to be very special people. I am quite selective when picking people to hang out with, as there are very few people who I "mesh" with well. Anders is from Denmark. He is very intelligent, and has a particularly demented sense of humor. I always seem to make friends with deviants. Oh well.
Our excursion to Frankfort was an interesting one, comprised of sausage eating, museum visits, and a bank robbery or two. Ok, I was joking about the last part, but we did visit a bank, as well as the German Stock Exchange. The art exhibits at the Frankfurt Modern Art Museum were surprisingly decent. I absolutely do not consider myself a fan of what most consider to be "modern art", but there were several cool pieces. In particular, I enjoyed the various paintings by Herbert Brandl, John Chamberlain's junky patchwork sculptures, and Andreas Slominki's rather surrealist paintings/photographs. I'm an impressionist kind of guy, but I have to say that this was one of the better modern art exhibits I have seen. It was free, also.
The Halloween party was enjoyable. That is, until the Sangria ran out. Overall, the food was very good, and I must commend the Canadians for their valiant efforts.
Amsterdam in less than seven days...I'm literally counting the moments. I'm going to get on my other homework now. Peace.
