Know how sometimes you get that weird thing when you drink and you get that feeling like there's a "bubble" or something in your throat? And it makes your voice sound funny?
I had that happen tonight, and I thought, "Wow, I kinda sound like Amy Winehouse." So I recorded a little snipped, then sang a few words in my normal voice after clearing my throat, and OMG IT'S SO WEEEEEEIRD!!!! O.o What a neat sound. I wish I could make it at will: http://media.putfile.com/Stuff-In-Throat |

"And here is M.O.O.T. 102,2 with the Moots playing Elvis' King Creole..."
There's a man on the Moot Who types a lot He's a threaded man With a great big soul He lays it down neat Like a ton of coal He goes by the name of Hector B You know he's gone, gone, gone Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole You know he's gone, gone, gone Hip shaking Hector B When Hector starts to do it It's as good as done He types his posts Like a tommy gun He starts to growl From way down his board He bends a string And "that's all she wrote" You know he's gone, gone, gone Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole You know he's gone, gone, gone Hip shaking Hector B Hector B, Hector B... (fades out...) |

I'm done with the modern translation version 1 of my thesis. Now I have 2 days to do the classic Japanese part, come up with a way to translate the parts I didn't get before and get it to somehow resemble a decent, whole translation...
But for now I'll have some tea! ^_^ Andreas, I saw some pictures of the Independence Day celebrations in Bergen. They had sunny weather there and it looked like fun. I'm jealous of Norwegian national clothes... They look so much better than the Dutch ones.

Hehe yeah Bergen had such nice weather. So much irony since it's usually raining (Bergen and Seattle are exactly the same weather-wise).
Well we have several hundreds of different kinds of Bunads (the traditional clothes worn by women mostly). They're kinda cool I used to have one that men from the part of Western Norway where some of my ancestors are from, but it's too small nowI'm thinking of getting a new one tho..

Cool! You were in Bergen too then? I thought it was a small place...
Traditional clothes are really kinda nice.  The second couple from the left are from the small islandvillage my grandparents are from. My aunt wore those sort of clothes till she died a few years ago. Nowadays there are only a few hundred people actually wearing traditional clothing whole year through.

So, one more exam tomorrow morning, then Aika comes to visit me. Her plane arrives early Tuesday morning, so I get to spend tomorrow cleaning and doing laundry and starting the nightmare that is packing to fly back to the States.
I can't believe I'm going home so soon. Is it possible to be sad and excited at the same time?

The ones I recognize are from the left: Volendam, Urk (that's where my mother's family is from), dunno, dunno, Spakenburg, Hindelopen, Zeeland, dunno.
But yes, there are a few people who wear it everyday. The youngest person still doing so 81 (according to Wikipedia). They all live in the Dutch Bible belt though. Especially Spakenburg where there are still quite a few people wearing it. EDIT: Rinkë, yeah that's possible, but let's just focus on Aika coming first

Yeah. I live at the outskirts of the Dutch one.
The map wasn't a map of the belt itself though, it was a map of voters for a certain political party, the SGP. Very religious party.
