shiftless things.

being sick is maddening. i’m about to go collect some antioxidants and bring them back to inject straight into my bloodstream. or just eat/drink/eat them. while laying around on the floor feeling all sort of woozy.weary.weathered i took some pictures of things i put on my windowsills.

important tools

a bullet army

a birth

a wooden fan

some science

some kept time.

and firework giraffe.

potemkin was an alright photo assistant.

also! earlier this week before i was contaminated i made the skeleton a friend in teal.

 

picnic days.

as the days get warmer i want to spend more time outside. much more. so saturday we went over to one of the parks in ‘de pijp’ neighborhood and had a little dutch picnic. kaas, brood, and genever. i finally finally got to use my travel bar!

this is my best antique find of all time. i found it in a new hampshire antique store. i thought it was a binocular case but when i  opened it i was elated to find 2 travel decanters. one labeled bourbon, one labeled scotch.

sadly scotch is way expensive in the netherlands and bourbon is practically nonexistent. boo. so i filled it with the local liquor, genever.

we walked back towards the city center, stopped by the apartment to grab glasses and some bottles, and sat by a canal drinking bier until the sun went dim.

a little psycho killer love.

time for a little end of the week psycho killer love. i may be a crazy cat lady who now owns a dog, but this cat was a soul mate / blood brother to me. i am eternally grateful for technology for the soul reason of having loads of pictures to remember just how great he was. ( i do wish i had the camera i have now back then though. these are a bit blurry )

stop motion.

in the last post i spoke of stop motion projects. i realize i haven’t posted any on this blog yet! fred and i like to work on little side stop motion films in our time off. here are two, the first one is our most recent one and the only one we’ve completed ( so far ) in amsterdam. and the second one was a tiny homage to my dear departed psycho killer cat.

 

i’ll post my favorite stop motion next week ( it is a fast paced jazz rendition on how to make my favorite drink ) and soon we will be finished with our second amsterdam based video.
