Notas al azar II

  • I have always said that I will eat almost anything if it’s covered in chocolate; in support of my statement, I call to the witness stand the squid prepared in a chocolate-based sauce that I ate last night.
  • HOW TO EAT A CHOCOLATE SQUID: To eat a squid you must not look at it too long. Pop it in your mouth and think about something other than tentacles. It will be chewy and fishy-tasting like a squid. Suddenly you will taste the coco flavor and enjoy a moment of bewilderment right before you swallow. Yes. That was a combination of squid and chocolate that you just ate.
  • Opted to accompany Colin (sick + doesn’t ride bikes) on a metro/foot tour of our case studies rather than join the mass bike tour. Theoretically, I love bikes. I have had many good experiences on bikes.  I’ve had many, many more bad experiences; an urban setting with curbs, hills, other bikers, pedestrians, and frequent speed variations didn’t sound like the best arena to try my luck. I wish I liked bikes, I really do, but it only took a couple semesters of disaster at Clemson to completely destroy my confidence in them (I was slightly infatuated with adult-sized tricycles for a while after that).
  • Ellis and I sort of decorated our room a little bit and it’s looking nicer now.  Thanks Mattie for the hugenormous Barca map which is now covering the mysteriously gross grease stain on my wall.  Huzzah!
  • THEY HAVE HAMSTERS AND GUINEA PIGS AND BABY BUNNEHS FOR SALE ON LA RAMBLA.  If there were some way to get them home, I would be in SERIOUS DANGER of exceeding my pet quota. Miss my gerb-gerbs! 
  • Yes I just said gerb-gerbs. Get over it.
  • Contemplating a trip to Seville this weekend. I want to travel somewheres… not quite ready to leave Spain… money is an issue.
