Employment page:

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:02:16 -0500

I’ve added a new page to supply my CV for, well… employment purposes!

Perhaps I will add further information, but for the most part I imagine this page is irrelevant to general visitors. I’m just…

Spanish

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:02:16 -0500

Spanish:

Languages really. Languages are great. It’s the encoding used to get things from the “mental dimension” into physical space, to another person, and back into the “mental dimension.” I have a reason…

Interests section::

I have written some mini-posts about each word below my name on the “bio” page. I will start posting them once in a while under the “interests” category. They will show up on the front page as will…

Travelling

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:00:01 -0500

Travelling:

One L or two?

It seems to be a common fight with spell check on this one. In the end, it is preference.

Why do I travel? It seems like an obvious interest for anyone to have, such as going to the…

Linguistics

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:00:01 -0500

Linguistics:

I’m a huge language nerd.

That doesn’t mean I speak loads of languages, but that means I dream about doing so and I occupy myself about what a thought sounds like in someone else’s head. I can’t…

Gandesa

Gandesa:

Hit play, and read the following with this as background.

I live in a lovely apartment on a charming side street off Avenida Diagonal called Gandesa.

Staying in Spain

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:46:09 -0500

Staying in Spain:

Finally an update for everyone, and it’s not necessarily going to be an update about what I’ve been doing and such diary-topics, but me thinking out loud and/or complaining about immigration and my…

Flat hunting, lesson planning. Sleeping?

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:34:07 -0400

Flat hunting, lesson planning. Sleeping?:

What have I been up to lately?

Well it doesn’t sound like much if you generalize it all into “class.” I can’t believe it’s almost over. I’m still going to be very busy up to the last day, and even…

Half Way!!

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 18:01:49 -0400

Half Way!!:

I made it half way through certification.
Once again, I don’t feel like writing. I also never bring my camera out with me, sorry to keep people in the dark.

Maybe when I’m bored and unemployed…

Oh no

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 13:35:15 -0400

Oh no:

I just screwed up the website format. Sorry, I’ll fix it soon.

Birthday

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 11:07:45 -0400

Birthday:

Although I’m far away from a lot of friends and all of my family, just having a free Saturday in Barcelona is a good enough birthday for me. I made it through the first week of the CELTA course…

First Week of October

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:27:11 -0400

First Week of October:

I don’t have a whole lot to say right now. Ironically, it’s to the point where so much has happened that I won’t bother narrating it all.

On Monday I started the CELTA course at International House…

Zip-lock baggies are “very American”

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 11:16:01 -0400

Zip-lock baggies are “very American”:

I learned that today. I put my ham in a plastic bag. I guess they’re not too paranoid about bacteria or anything. Neither am I.

Well I made a ham and gouda sandwich for lunch, and now I’m finishing…

My Saturday Afternoon

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:07:20 -0400

My Saturday Afternoon:

After the café I walked down who-knows-what road to find a supermarket. Christine (the woman who is housing me) told me there was a market in either direction on their street. Well, I guess I missed…

Good morning!

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 06:19:55 -0400

Good morning!:

I arrived in Barcelona yesteday. It was strange seeing the skyline of the city from the plane this time. Returning was a different feeling than benig there the first time. The best comparison I can…

Barcelona

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:41:15 -0400

Barcelona:

I found wifi, but I have to go the balcony to receive the signal. It’s weak, but hey it works. This is my view:

Amsterdam

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 02:26:10 -0400

Amsterdam:

I landed in Amsterdam this morning and had a three way video call with Allie and Rachel. Here’s my end of things.

Adios until Barcelona.

Current Site Design:

I hope that everything is clean, crisp and straightforward. Just in case you need a pointer:

Clicking my name at the top brings you back to the home page. “About” will show you my brief bio, and…

Cardenal and Whitacre – Ethereal creation:

I was listning and doing a bit of night reading. This kind of struck me as a parallel experience. So, I suggest that you click the play button on the music included and listen to that as you read…
