I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.*

Went to Amsterdam today, after slicing my heel open - well, not really slicing, but there was blood - on the bike-support metal thingy on the ground as I was locking it up. *sigh* The good things is that since I had to buy band-aids anyway - no way was I going to walk a city with an open wound making sweet love to my sandal strap - I also bought cough-tablets. Don't relaly know what they do, specifically. As long as there's aiding and abetting for the little white blood cells and their kin, I'm good.

So, Amsterdam again. Did my usual round-about tour, had fries (with remouladesaus, for a change), snooped around the Englih-language bookstore, got hit on, ate my sandwitch while listening to WWZ, captured a painting as it tried to escape upon the wind and returned it to its captor and creator, got hit on again (this time, of the "I'm going to walk along with you and talk" variety), more WWZ and an ice-tea as I cradled a candle, bought a dodo (of doom, replica), then off to watch Prince Caspian, where I totally failed to recognize Eddie Izzard was Reepicheep (whom I unabashedly love in all his forms, but damn was he cute in this film), coveted Susan's leather corset, rolled my eyes at Susan/Caspian, waved my fist at having the Damsel Is Awesome Markswoman cut short and supplanted with Damsel In Distress and followed by Damsel Gives Man All The Credit, and near-cried a bit at Peter and Susan's exile because if I've ever truly believed in anything ever, it was in Narnia, so their exile fell too close to home when I read it.
