False Shutter
Read More: False Shutter(An excerpt from some journal entries in Spain. 4/5/2006) They asked me to take their photo. I don’t know why. They are complete strangers on the street. The first words they said to me: <<¡Un Foto!>> They would never see it. Why do they want me to have a record of them of their stupidity…

International Dvorak Layout
Read More: International Dvorak LayoutBefore my study abroad in Spain, I realized that I was going to be doing quite a bit of writing en español, and that this was going to require some new keyboard adjusting, since I didn’t feel like doing the alt-01249 key combinations to get characters like ñ € ó ç º ü ¡ ¿,…

Jo estic català
Read More: Jo estic catalàToday was rough. In fact, it is less like one day, not even two, but more like three. I slept two hours before going to the beach, and felt rather exhausted when I did wake. Kaitlin and I went anyways, and it was ok, but the weather could have been better. Then the coming back…

Emotional Fútbol War Ground
Read More: Emotional Fútbol War GroundToday began, perhaps, the emotional roller coaster ride of leaving Spain. I am, without a doubt, excited to come back home. However, there are certainly aspects I will miss about Barcelona, mostly, if not only, the people I have met. My good friend, Iana, left today to Bulgaria. For some reason I wasn't really sad…

Eighteen Years of Lecture
Read More: Eighteen Years of LectureI meant to write this on Tuesday, the 9th. I was going to backdate it, but decided not to. It was, however, written in my notebook on that date, and is being transcribed here on this date. My good friend, Derek, somehow, seemed to know that I was going to write this as he had…

The Streets are Always Wet
Read More: The Streets are Always WetI guess once the initial barrier is broken, it is easier to write random thoughts about Barcelona. I should have done this a long time ago. There is something that really bothers me about the streets here. They are always wet. Always. Sometimes they are completely wet, as if it just rained. Other times they…

Day of Coincodence
Read More: Day of CoincodenceToday was interesting. It is a shame that this is actually my first post about Barcelona, but so it goes. I create a blog to document my happenings here, and of course what doesn't happen is exactly that. Since I have given you no previous Barcelona background, you will have to learn about my time…

Paris and the Butterfly Effect
Read More: Paris and the Butterfly EffectOnce upon a time, there was a boy who had a mild yet irritating case of dandruff. There were times when it went unnoticeable, and there were other times where he would be so conscious of the small white flakes on his black, button-up, French-cuffed shirt that he would go through great lengths to try…

Barcelona & Nice
Read More: Barcelona & NiceSo… I’m in Europe. I knew this was coming, but it wasn’t real until I got out of the airport in Barcelona. Then, it REALLY settled in when I woke up and was still in the same place, confirming I wasn’t dreaming. Much detail could be gone into about the voyage… but all in all…

Año Nuevo
Read More: Año NuevoSo this is the new year, and it might be the first one where I actually feel different. This change is not just a tick of a clock and the rolling of the year’s least-significant digit. This year actually marks yet another new era in my life. William wrote about era shifts in his own…
