I ran into an American an Koningningnedag last month. She had a table out and was selling clothes (for KD (I don't want to spell it again (probably wrong the firsttime), people can sell stuff on the Sidewalk and its like a Giant Garage Sale). Anyway she had 2 dogs on the table and I jokingly asked if they were for sale. Turns out she was looking for a home for them. A few days before TF (I'm going to refer to her as Tee from now on (no relation to the LJ user Tee) was looking for a dog. So I offered to help hook them up.
So Saturdy we scheduled for her to come look at the Dogs. I went down to 'Allegre' a Cafe/Bar on the little square we have and had a late lunch. Called Tee and gave her direction (Get of the Tram, turn left, see bar). Afterwards I called the lady with Dogs to find out where we needed to go to see them. She suggested... Allegre. "Oh, that I'll work. I'm there eating a Sandwich right now". Tee showed up, chatted for a while, J (?) showed up with the Dogs. Both of us spent time playing with the Dogs and looks like she's getting them. (They are a really small breed....googling....Maltese?).
Afterwards showed Tee around the 'buurt', then went up to my apartment and showed her around. We played around on my Wii. (UPS showed up with a second FREE Wii a few weeks ago and I dug out the Wii-mote from that one and we went after each other Wii Sports Boxing. (She can't box (yet?), or bowl, or golf (LOL)). She offered to buy the second Wii from me, but since it showed up unannounced and free, I really don't want to sell it, in case someone wants it back. (It was addressed to me, its just someone made a mistake reguarding a free Wii promotion (I already got the Free One, for some reason, they sent me a second one).
She also created a Mii and named it Tee (which is why, her new moniker is Tee).
Called a friend in Texas. She is into Politics (old marxist hippie) and we discussed what was happening. She is afraid we will inviade Iran. I just responded with Silence. (Hippie Pacifists get Violent when you criticize thier ideas).
Also I think I've finally got a setup so that when Telemarketers or the Church of Scientology* call me at 2 AM in the morning, it won't ring.
*The Old Marxist Hippie (above) played a key part in my number getting associated with a member of the Church
