Barcelona is awsome, after giving myself a hernia like injury from stress and carrying a 60 pound backpack around for a full day, I recovered admirably and celebrated with a de-stressing trip to the beach today to bake and bathe..´twas super delightful. I´m poor, I live in a cool kind of gritty neighborhood that is up and coming with a beautiful ( Read more... )

Argh. The world is not set up at this point in time for expatriates. Especially expatriates who haven't decided where they want to expatriate to...My spanish student visa is eating my head. At least I've been accepted to the school and I grow more excited everyday, and more fearful wondering how the hell am I going to support myself in a city where ( Read more... )

I will be back in the US for some tiny part of the month of June and a large hunk of the month of July. Work in Qatar fell through, but this means that (if she'll still have me) I can go to my bestest biscuit' wedding, and perhaps swing a trip out to Santa Fe (if a certain meglet will have me).
I have planted seeds, perhaps they will grow....

My dreads are longer again, and this time with real hair. I feel prettier than ever.
Easter is cool. So chill, lot of food Polish style. Bartek's folks are here and damn if they aren't some pleasant people!

My world rocks, and is really scary at the same time. I'm freaking out a little about how I'm going to afford moving to Barcelona. The exchange rate for the euro to the zlotych is 1 to 4 and wages here are comperable. So the chances of me saving anything satisfactory are small to non existant. The world is not set up at this point for individuals ( Read more... )

I just cut off my dread extensions. I not longer have butt length dreads...my head feels so weird. It was time. I was starting to feel dishonest. Like 'look at me, I decided to pay a lot of money to make my hair longer to try (and fail miserably) to feel you into thinking that my actual dreads really reached my ass. Plus people who have dreads ( Read more... )

I'm exhausted. I had a little medical run in the other week when I started jogging and felt my heart speeding up to a rate that that made the little intuitive bug inside my head go 'if you continue like this you will have a heart attack'. I went to a nutritionist, she said that given what I eat its lucky I caught myself before my body had a major ( Read more... )

Okay, (deep breath) here we go: I have no idea what is to be done with this situation. As a preface to this statement, I must say that having spent some time in the "deep" middle east, in some of the countries in question, I cannot deny that there are two sides to every story. I respect their side ( Read more... )

Man, now's about the time that I wish one of my free-thinking Obie bubble friends was sitting next to me with a gigantic mug of hot chocolate, ready to discuss the ridiculousness that is spreading across the face of our dear planet in the form of controversy over mohammad cartoons...our world is falling apart.
