Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
sumi, I think they said in the commentary that the top three would remain unchanged, because Safina made it to the semis.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Jesse, I was just thinking about St. John the Divine! Matilda has a plaster replica of a rabbit wall carving from one of the little niches/shrines on the wall over her crib.

Kat - yes, Gaudi's massive "cathedral" in Barcelona.
No power tools are used in its construction; entirely hand-done. A lot of work was un-done by Franco and his men.
We spent 3 days in Barcelona (the ex and I; he's Spanish/Venezuelan) just to look at the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, La Padrera (or Casa Mila, though no-one calls it that anymore), and Casa Batllo (which has people living in it, besides being a museum).
I so want to go back every 5 or 10 years and track the progress on the Sagrada Familia. This devout OBOD Bard will be attending both Easter and Christmas masses there, once each, after completion.
It'll be a thing.

I think I'm the only one still here at work.
Happy birthday, Frank--I hope you find the sun in Maine, but I read over at Americablog that it's in hiding up there, too.

We went to Park Güell when I was in Barcelona. I remember it as being awesome in the truest sense of the word. I didn't know anything about Gaudi and I just marvelled at the whole thing.

Park Guell was very pretty - and almost too big (covered too much ground) to be easily appreciated. I just sort of spun slowly in place, looking around. Alfredo was highly amused.
I want to live in Casa Batllo! The windows...the doors...everything is so different and interesting!
