As I mentioned in an earlier post on Saturday I went into Amsterdam to check out the Zombie Walk.  I think I may have had my expectations too high after photos I’d seen from walks in other cities.  Most of them took place in the day and it was just people walking like zombies for fun.  This was ok but …

Back in 2006 I wrote an entry titled Just a Tree? in which I spoke about my visit to the Anne Frank House and the giant chestnut tree that stands behind it. At that time there were a lot of discussions in regards to whether they were going to cut the tree down because it was weak and in danger …

On June 12th Xander and I hopped in the car and headed off to the Hard Rock Cafe in Amsterdam for Bitchsterdam 2.  For those of you wondering what Bitchsterdam is, it’s a gathering of bloggers, organized by DutchBitch, that has taken place two years in a row now when Dave from Blogography and Penelope come over to this side …

The minute I saw the photo hunt this week I knew what I would use… I took this photo in the Red Light District in Amsterdam when I moved to the Netherlands back in 1999.   As if it wasn’t shock enough being there, I was even more shocked when I saw this sign. I’m still not sure if it was …

It’s easy to understand, with such a huge population in such a small space.   Over 16.5 million people in a country that is slightly less than …

I absolutely love this stuff! It’s the first time in years that anything has challenged my alltime favorite Haagen Dazs Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream. This new Oatmeal Cookie Chunk ice cream by Ben & Jerry’s is definately giving it some competition. If you haven’t tried it you really should. It’s absolutely delicious! Last night I watched an interesting show on …

Well for some reason my internet isn’t working. I woke up and was disconnected and can’t seem to get online again. I’ll have to wait for Xander to get up and fix it.Been thinking a lot about giving this website a makeover. The last few times I’ve looked at it I was sickened by all this teddybear crap. It’s SO …

This is Ginger, she’s the 5 month old Staffordshire Terrier I’m looking after at the moment. She’s quite a handful but she’s not nearly as crazy as the previous dog I looked after. She’s very very cute and she loves to pounce on Bailey and pin him to the floor. He doesn’t appear to like this quite as much. She’s …
