Italy the final- In which Alie gives a brief history of Rome. And the universe. Maybe.
Once there were two kings.
For the sake of simplicity (and the fact that I can't remember their full names), these kings will be named "A-King" and "M-King".
Now, M-King was in line to inherit the throne and this did not make A-King happy. So A-King overthrew M-King and killed all of M-King's family except for his daughter. A-King made the daughter ( Read more... ) -
Philosophy Presentation.
So, me and Mike are doing a presentation on Kant for my philosphy 2000 class. Research goes like this.
The Empiricists had not been able to prove synthetic a priori claims like "Every event must have a cause," because they had conflated "synthetic" and "a posteriori" as well as "analytic" and "a priori." Then they had assumed that the two resulting ( Read more... ) -
Italy - In which Alie finally shares The Perfect Man, and a Structurally Unsound Building
So I finally decided to post about my trip to Florence and Pisa. However, since I've got a bunch more to catch up on, I'm only going to spend a little time on this.
We spent two nights in Florence, and hit up Pisa on the way back to Rome. Florence was amazing. Really, an art buffs could pump iron there for years. ^_^ Anywho, on to Florence.( Come see Teh Florence! ) -
Italy Journal 3...in which Alie joins the ranks of the Leopluradon and Stegosaurus
In other words, I turned 20! *Le Gasp!* I am now over a week older than twenty years. And I still walk to school. But now I can say I walk to school in the snow (Italian snow-foreign snow), uphill, barefoot because they don't believe in shoes in Europe. Yep. Ok...maybe not...but it is thunder storming today. Pretty awesome lightning, if I do say ( Read more... ) -
Italy Journal 2 - In which Alie finally shows Venice...

Rome Journal 1- In which Alie rediscovers Gelato (Rome)
Ya-ha! So....guess who's been partying in Italy. S'right, home dogs! I mentioned in the last journal, that I had just gotten to Italy. It's now my second week in Rome and I've been going to class, chillin', eating gelato, traveling, and eating gelato. ^__^
So, I've decided that each European country specializes in something. Spain was siestas, ( Read more... ) -
Spain/Rome Journal 10...in which Alie says Hasta Lavista and Ciao!
Well, I am, as of a few days ago, I am doin' as the Romans do. However, that will be in the next journal. For now...I have to make up on some action. Specifically, saying g'bye to good ol' Salamanca. Ah...how I will miss the lettuce, canned corn, and bologna salads....*sigh*.
Anywho,the day before we left Saly (Salamanca) for Ye Ancient Rome, we ( Read more... ) -
Spain journal 9- in which Alie watches bulls run, takes pretty pictures, + declares Spaniards jerks
Warning: this entry is very image-heavy so it may take a while for stuff to show up.
So, this weekend, I went to see a running of the bulls (since it's probably the most Spanish thing I could possibly do) in Ciudad Rodrigo. The city itself was pretty small. I bet they had more people there during the Carnival de Los Toros than they do all year. Not ( Read more... )
