First of all, spanish livejournal homepage is pretty funny. Apparently in Spanish, goats say ¨Beeeeeee.¨ I knew dogs said ¨guau, guau¨ instead of woof or bark, and chickens and stuff say ki-kirki-ki ( Read more... )

The family I´m living with is ´interesante´ to say the least. They´re both pretty old. Manólo, the man of the house, is a 75 year old marathon runner. When I got here on Saturday he was in Málaga for a marathon, in which he won second place, and got this cool medallion. Not like he doesn´t already have a bajillion awards and trophies. And this ( Read more... )

So, yeah, Spain is pretty interesting. Madrid was really awesome, in paricular the 3 museums I went to- Museo del Prado (Las Meninas), El Centro de Arte Reina Sofia (Guernica, El 3 de Mayo, other awesome works) and el Museo Thyssen-Bournemisza (sp?). The fact that I can drink alcohol is not as cool as I thought it would be ( Read more... )

Soooo, I have one week left in the Ville of Caton. Many of you know, but some of you don't, that one week from now (monday, June fifth) I will be on a Luftahnsa flight to Frankfurt, with a transfer to Madrid. I'm going to spend a month in Spain, studying at the University of Sevilla. The trip is through VCU's Summer Abroad program so I'll be in ( Read more... )

So, I have a few questions for anyone who happens to read my Live Journal on any usual basis ( Read more... )

VCU's internet access has always been shoddy at best, but tonight I re-installed OpFor for some crazy fragfest fun and my ping was hitting 3000. This is just silly. It took me almost an entire minute (46 seconds) to load the LJ homepage. AIM's "instant" messages take a few seconds to come in and register ( Read more... )

I don't have spanish class all this week and my parents are in Harrisburg until Wednesday. Trip to Baltimore anyone? Hahah, an interesting proposition but probably not the best of ideas, eh?

I feel like my life right now is more or less devoid of adventure, excitement, fervor, passion, adrenaline, escapades, quests, activity, insanity, exhilaration ( Read more... )

I've been having a lot of really bizzarre dreams recently that I can recollect. These aren't in any particular chronological order, but here are a few highlights ( Read more... )

Bryan and I went to "remedial" PT again on Tuesday and oddly enough it almost felt harder than the PT test last thursday. We've been having really nice weather recently except for that little bout of rain. Yesterday our guest speaker in HSEP said he was surprised to see so many people attending class. He said that days like that when he was in ( Read more... )

Its been a while since I've done a restaurant review, but no cafe has ever been more deserving. The Strawberry Street Cafe in Richmond's fan district is truly awesome. What makes it so good? Well, Tony and I were next door at VideoFan returning our movies (Enron annd True Romance) when I realized I was quite thirsty from all the walking and nice ( Read more... )
