i was mostly fascinated by the umbrella, as you can see from the pic....
this is not just another day in the park in boston (at least, not that i have seen!), this was at the steampunk festival in waltham, back in may. steampunk is some weird genre i never heard of before, but wikipedia does... :) i think americans really like costume parties. next to drinking through straws, i dont think i saw more adults in the most weird costumes. and not just something simple! no, into detail they are dressed up.... complete with elaborate make-up and accessories (must cost them so much time and money!) me? i would just like that umbrella... :)
tomorrow tim comes back from his trip to berlin (conference) and amsterdam (home). i missed him because i now had to eat from the yoghurt-can when it was almost empty (i hate that and he always does that; i always get my portion in a nice bowl). also, i had to cut my own mango (sticky hands, beehh) and i didnt drink coffee in the weekend (he always makes the coffee; i cant even operate the coffeemaker). during the week i had to make my own lunch (takes so much time! normally im in the shower when he does that), and in the evening i had to throw the trash into the trash receptacle myself (scary, because in summer there are often raccoons inside/around). moreover, i had to make dinner and clean up (especially cleaning up becomes boring), so i skipped dinner a few times (but not too often!!), and i had to get packages delivered during the day from the apartment office myself (which requires to make small talk with the security guy, beeehh).
so... i guess its good he comes back again tomorrow ;) probably there are some other reasons too why its good he wil be back tomorrow, but i forgot... :)

This made me smile. I thought "i also had to start/clean out the dishwasher, go grocery shopping...."
I can totally relate to this (exept for the fact that etienne has yet to go to a conference).
Ha,ha, he does a lot for you, it is a nice way to realize that. The costume of the girl on the photo is rather weird, a kind of SM with the military cap on. Some people like to dress up at festivals, we have the Fantasyfair where people look very over the top.
Wow, very steampunk. I have read a few such novels, wish they had a steampunk festival or something like that in my area.
aaahh, i thought of some more: when we went swimming this sunday i had to fold up the blanket again, that was more complicated than i thought!
and now i also always have to find my keys when coming home, normally i expect tim to have the keys ready and open the door.
and, ofcourse, i didnt do any grocery-shopping for more than a week since i cant drive... (in the netherlands this would not have been a problem, but here... :( )
lol i also missed you, even though on my trip i did not have to do any chores.. it was harder to get up in the morning, and harder to go in the bed at night, and I did not brush my teeth on one night, and there were many things that I forgot, you would have reminded me, but I can not name them because.. I forgot.

ahw you guys are so cute. :P
Nice image, CaT. The stripes echo.
Gee, Tim seems like such a helpful guy. Maybe you should keep him.
