Amsterdam *is not* a big city, but this week I managed to make it a very winding place with lots of places to get lost since I was trusting in my "innate" sense of direction. I managed to get lost both going to and coming back from my Dutch classes. Yep. 35 minute bike rides took an hour each way.Labels: getting to know you

Interesting facts about Pythagoras from Wikipedia.
"The Pythagorean code restricted the diet of its followers, prohibiting the consumption or even touching of any sort of bean. The reason is unclear: perhaps the flatulence they cause, perhaps as protection from potential favism, perhaps because they resemble the genitalia, but most likely for magico-religious reasons, such as the belief that beans and human beings were created from the same material.
Most stories of Pythagoras' murder revolve around his aversion to beans. According to legend, enemies of the Pythagoreans set fire to Pythagoras' house, sending the elderly man running toward a bean field, where he halted, declaring that he would rather die than enter the field - whereupon his pursuers slit his throat."
See... yeah. I don't even know how to process this information.
Not that I really need to.
I eat beans. Proudly and loudly.

So today, I go equipped with a picture from the site. This one. I think it's somewhat realistic in terms of what my hair can do. Plus a little "cool" so, yay.
you a fabulous picture of the horror. (Sorry about that. I would have made this whole story much better and more entertaining.Labels: haircut trauma
