Oh, shit, that's the wrong info I copied and paste.  Deal with it.  It's a quiz, nobody cares anyway.

Yep.  I am here.  The land where I can finally make my money stretch a bit... where my rigorous class schedule gives me a four and a half day weekend every week... where beer is more plentiful than water... where little old ladies drink shots of "medicinal" alcohol before breakfast... where absinthe is legal and encouraged... where every woman is ( Read more... )

There is something refreshing about being broken up with and travelling to another city the next day on a whim.  This refreshment is only slightly tempered by not being able to speak more than a few key phrases in the host language here.  Florence is pretty cool, I guess.  I feel so jaded, unimpressed by any amount of large churches, domes, or ( Read more... )

In the last month, I have visited: Rome, Nice, Marseilles, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Lyon, Milano, Napoli, Syracusa, Trapani, Barcelona, Granada, and Sevilla.  Now I am back in Rome for two weeks or so hanging out with Mary Kate and exploring the city and living in hostels.  On February 5, I fly to Prague to study for a semester.  Yep, it's that ( Read more... )

Okay, so that is a huge overstatement.  We have just been hitting a stretch of really bad luck here.  Our flight here was delayed, the restaurant we wanted to go to wouldn´t let us in without a reservation, the cooking class we signed up for was cancelled, the one night we went out on the town Mary Kate felt sick right away, we got lost on Montjuic ( Read more... )

Bonjour; I am currently in gay Paris, where the keyboards are infuriatingly different.  The trip goes well so far; Romans are rude, Parisiens very nice.  Bouillabaisse in Marseilles was tasty and croques monsieurs rock our socks.  Now we go to Amsterdam, then Sicily, then Barcelona and Seville and the rest of Spain.

I will try to keep you posted!

What the fuck?  I'm sick AGAIN.  Meaning in the last two weeks, I've had two days of work.  Fucking awesome.

Edit:  Oh shit the explanation would be nice, eh?  Here 'tis:
These are the top one-hundred-six books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s

Loki is the first personal trainer I've ever had. When I lift freeweights, she glares at me and barks if my back isn't straight or if I let my elbows get wobbly. When I do pushups, she runs underneath me each time, apparently to make sure I go back up all the way, and she nips at my sides to keep my back straight. When I do crunches, she just ( Read more... )
