Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

(YAY!)
Besides, they're pretty hard core about their Catalonian. So if you're like me, you never know what someone's speaking to you anyway.
(Also, I think I've only been there twice. Don't know why I thought three times.)
Okay, I need to do dishes (including three, three! pans with stuck-on food), scoop the cat pans, and take out the trash. My reward is watching last week's Leverage. Ready, set, go!
Don't know why I thought three times.
Clearly, looking ahead to f2f Barça.

Honestly, there are a number of places in Europe I haven't seen or have only seen once that are higher on my list. But that list right now is about as hypothetical as the infamous laminated top 5 on Friends, so...
Perkins, you are a total Vegas natural! It got too uncanny valley/Real Doll without you (the Venetian BROKE MY FUCKING BRAIN), so I checked in four hours before my flight and am typing this from the airport bar.
Also, I'm wicked cheap, and hitched a cab ride with some Derby chicks! So hey, awesome cheap ride. Also, one Derby chick had totally wonderful Stargate symbols tattooed on her wrists. AWESOME.
We TOTALLY did the right chocolate martini last night. I tried the other one we thought about this afternoon, and it pales in comparison.
I am watching The Hangover and Ken Jeong just appeared. Wait, no, Mike Tyson. So random.

You should see Juliana!
That was a very tasty martini.
In the semi-awkward news:
Our next door neighbor is an Episcopalian priest and his wife and three kids. ONe of the little boys is Ellie's best friend. Our backyards sort of form a V so that from the backyard, you can easily look into the back of either house, although we each look out and can't see the other person's house.
Anyway, they must have friends over tonight because even though it's dark, I can hear them in the back yard. And I just finished watching True Blood which happened to have 2 naked sex scenes tonight. Which I enjoyed and it's their own damn fault if they are looking in my windows, but still, I feel a little dirty. Now I'm about to watch Breaking Bad. Less sex, more drugs and violence!!
eta: and then probably SPN after that - so horror, demons, and blood!
Barcelona is on my "to visit" cities! I really need to go. My Spanish won't hack it, but I figure the ocean/sea will be worth it.
English is pretty much the language Europeans use when they travel in foreign countries, so you'll be fine almost everywhere. Everywhere a tourist spends money, someone can communicate with you, somehow.
I really enjoyed Barcelona when I was there in 1998.
Sounds like an awesome trip, shrift! Yay! Now we plan for Hawaii?
Ha ha. Dude, I still have jet lag! But I'll figure out how many vacation days I have left after VividCon and DragonCon tomorrow at work.
