Punishingly Intricate

The big thing about driving in Spain is actually being a pedestrian. You can not look the driver in the eye, if you do hir will run you down.

ha! I found this to be true in Boston too! When I was headed to Mexico City a few years ago where we would be driving there people were like "You are crazy!" but it was just like driving in NY. Lots of cars but no big deal really.

Because books.

Driving in NYC really isn't that bad, I think. Maybe intimidating the first day, but on an average day in Manhattan, there's so much traffic, you're not going anywhere fast, so there's usually room to maneuver. Plus, everyone expects everyone else to take their best shot at getting into that lane or making that turn, so everyone's on the defensive.

Parking, now. Whole different issue.

What was that about New York drivers?

I don't want to teach tomorrow. I'm giving my students a quiz, and I know that a lot of them don't know the material well enough. This really feels like too much material to cover in just one semester, and I can't teach it well enough in the amount of time I have, and I can't figure out how to do it better.

My new junk food discovery: Simply Decadent ice cream made with coconut milk. Ridiculously yum.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

My kids are making icecream today - but not with coconut milk. Although it crossed my mind.

Making ice cream with the kids sounds like fun. Though possibly messy.

I just looked at the nutrition facts on the coconut milk ice cream label. Yikes. 1/2 cup of ice cream has 40% of the daily allowance of saturated fat.
