the decline and decline and decline of the american empire

oh my god...i am sitting in this hostel where MTV's my super sweet sixteen or whatever is on tv right now. if this spoiled bitch Ava was my kid I would shoot myself. sweet christ.
this programme makes me want to punch things in the face. and I was all peaced out today too. screw you MTV, I hate you and your stupid squealing bullshit.

I think it is extra offensive right now because I just had 10 or so days of wonderful TV-free peace and quiet and conversation and food and music and port and Icelandic liquor at a friend's place...and now I am in beautiful Utrecht in a hostel where the tv dominates the lounge thus forcing me to endure MTV and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. but i will put up with a lot in order to use free internet.

on the upside, Utrecht is really very beautiful, canals and bricks and armies of cyclists. they really know how to do cycling as a form of transport in this country (in Denmark too). there are proper lanes (that people actually don't seem to use as a parking space), even bike specific traffic lights. And even though they sell helmets in the stores, I have not seen a single person wearing one.
