I will gradually update this entry with photos and footage of the NYC trip. Starting with the first day/night.

Day #1.

We arrived in NYC, and went out to party the same night. Me, Huib and Pieter were pretty knackered as we had only three hours of sleep and had spent the entire day walking around Harvard campus and all over BSTN looking for an inflatable mattress, which was a pain in the bum. Finally found one, though.

A subway ride on the first night:

Day #2.

Our second day started with a chill in the park, which was nice. Sunshine. Bread. Cheese. Nice.

At F.A.O. Schwartz I spotted some awesome toys, though it was not groundbreaking. Playing the Big piano was one thing that I can now check off (pictures will come when P will upload them).

This ロボトウ (roboto, it said so on the box) was especially cool.

The weather grew a little colder and darker, but the skyscrapers are candy.

Day#3 &c.

Happy Easter!

Me and C. went down to the burrito franchise for breakfast. The effing Easter Bunny closed it down. Damn that bunny.

Will watch Gummo tonight.

As soon as I have acquired all the pictures they will be posted up here. First, I’m gonna have me some sleep. Then, I will pop soms stories. In the mean time: enjoy my fresh kicks.

What more is there to say?

Tomorrow me, Pieter, and Huib will head down to BSTN to check out harvard (9:06 TRAIN) and then we will go to NYC, where I’m sure there is going to be one big party.

Got some grades back this week: A for history exam, A- for Edith Wharton Paper. This badboy is content.

Peace in the Middle East.

I discovered two awesome sites this week:

#1: Wooster Collective/

#2: Blipfoto/

Obviously #2 photoshops his ass off on the pics, but who cares. The photos look awesome. I subscribed to blipfoto, too. I allows you to upload one photo a day, and no more. Further, the photo has to have been made on that day. Which I think is cool. I am still to make my first contribution. When I do my blipfoto url will be www.blipfoto.com/aaronvanvalen.

Also, it is pissing rain out here like you wouldn’t believe. I’m going to NYC next weekend, to spend my spring break there, and I sure do hope it won’t be raining then. A little rain I can handle. A lot, no.

As I successfully met three deadlines last week, my brain is at ease a bit more. Good stuff.

Pictures: C can be seen smoking his ciggie. He is loving it. Hit that shit, C. (“Good shit, huh?” “Dude it’s just a fuckin’ cigarette.”) Also, Ziting (Christine) turning her head away. Camerashy people, I understand them not.

Peace in the East.

P.S.: I pimped the layout a wee bit. Put my face smack in the middle of the banner.

P.S. 2: Fun fact of the day, the dollar has gotten even kinder to us Europeans: 1.535 $ for a euro. Oh. Fucken. Yeah.

Dear Dollar,

Thank you for being so kind to me. I think I will buy a house soon.

1 EUR (EUR) = 1.5187 USD

All best,

Your faithful Euro friend
