Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm thinking Tino got to Fred.

Having observed Hec attempting to cope with Fred for years now, I'm thinking Tino and Fred go back a long way together.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Are you saying there's some connection between Fred and Tino?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I see what you did there, Jesse.

Mushu the Pallas Cat was lured into a trap with some mice and is no longer on the run. He didn't go far, just snuggled into a small construction yard not far from his exhibit, and he's safe and warm now. Sadly, he did not get to fight crime with an octopus buddy--That We Know Of!

Howdy! Popping in quickly to ask for some travel advice.

I am planning to go on a work conference in Madrid in late April that goes from Saturday to Tuesday, which will go toward my conference leave (we are allowed 5 days a year). I can take the rest of the week to see something of Spain. I can do either 1) Barcelona, or 2) Seville +/- Granada but not both with the 3-4 extra days I have. Which should I pick? I have no Spanish and I feel like Barcelona would be easier travel-wise, but... Alhambra! Seville-Granada would definitely mean more travel time and hustling though.

Counter the Alhambra with the Sagrada Familia and throw in Barcelona's flourishing nightlife as a bonus?

I loved Barcelona the brief while I was there, but I haven't been to the others for comparison. They might be even more delightful.

I was leaning toward Barcelona so nice to have validation. :) Plus I can fly out of Barcelona airport at the end of the trip instead of going back to Madrid. The photos of various architectural marvels in Barcelona are amaaaazing.

The Alhambra is cool but there's much more to see and do in Barcelona than Granada.
