That really says 'cocaine'... apparently it's the only legal form of cocaine you can buy, and it's right here in my local supermarket! I don't want to hear ANY more stories now from people, how they went to Amsterdam and got stoned/wasted (yes, that is becoming old really quickly, especially since I don't do drugs and don't particularly like Amsterdam, I think it's a tourist infested open air tourist attraction for the most part)! In the US you can buy cocaine right in the supermarket ;-)
After a hectic few days at the end of last week (I travelled on Thu and Fri, volunteered on Sat, then travelled some more on Sun), I finally sat down to study for my midterm Entrepreneurial Finance last night (the midterm was today, hey, what can I say, I'm applying the best of Just-In-Time practices, my Operations professors would be proud!). But I decided to take the trash out first. And got my left index finger stuck. And now it's all blue and typing is painful, as is writing. Just what I needed before a midterm!! Ugh. So this is a short one, more later when my finger stops hurting as much.
You can always fly South to Peru and have perfectly legal "Coca Mate", the traditional infusion of coca leaves. But of course coca leaves are to cocaine what beer is to medical alcohol! (Rubbing alcohol)
But more important: Good luck with the midterm!

PS: I loved the Rijksmuseum, and the canals in the historical center! Those are the best attraction in Amsterdam!

So you're going to the west coast, asked Hussein for advice but not me...argh...that hurts. Did you forget that I used to live both in San Francisco and Seattle...

That's a good thing you didn't take the trash out before applying for your visa to the US I guess. I'm just remembered of your post about you being careful with your fingers the week before going to the embassy.
Anyway, I hope your finger will return to its normal not-blue-and-painful state quickly.

Looks like you are doing a lot of brand building for LBS ? (http://acenomad.blogspot.com/2006/10/lbs-session-in-nyc.html)

Patxi: thanks! I agree, the Rijksmuseum is fabulous :-)
KV: any tips for the west coast? I wasn't ignoring you, I just thought you might not be interested in figuring out which the best bookstores are ;-)
G: thanks! My finger is still kinda blue, but the pain's gone. So back to blogging!
F: Am not sure that was me, could've been any of the other LBS students currently in New York ;-)
