Had a good time at Zaanse Schans yesterday and got to see a little of the countryside. Got back to the city in time to go view all of the Tall Ships that were visiting, but didn't stay for the big fireworks show. I could see it from my hotel room several miles away, though, so it must have been a huge production.
Today I toured the city on the Canal Bus system, went to the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh museum, and Vondelpark. Got rained on a little in the morning, but overall I've been very lucky with the weather for this trip.
Haven't posted any new pictures yet, but will eventually.
Amsterdam is a nice place to visit, and the public transportation is impressive. I'm certainly glad I don't have to drive here. Too many vehicles packed into too little room. Drivers seem very forebearing here, I've only heard one horn blast, and that was from a lady who had been blocked out of her driveway by a tour bus.
Wrong thread, ita?
Are there any TV shows that people are looking forward to this fall? The only thing that vaguely catches my interest is Undercovers.
Wrong thread, ita?
I think she was talking about the lying mom in the commercial. Which didn't really ping me as a big deal, either, to be honest.
Except for the whole mother going out in her daughter's clothes, which I found weird and lame.

Yup.
My mother and I have approximately never been the same size, so I can't even imagine. Although I would steal her clothes, she would pretty much never wear my styles.
Sometimes my work is unintentionally hilarious. I'm currently reading a teaching article that manages to recast all the "problem" characteristics with millennial students/employees as postive attributes. So the fact that they avoid reading anything of length becomes "the younger hire today has become more and more attuned to brevity in writing" and "helicopter parent" becomes "in order to honor the connection that [millennials] and their parents have...".
"the younger hire today has become more and more attuned to brevity in writing"
Is that a veiled warning that applications may be written in textspeak?
