I am too lazy to sort
The Darjeeling Limited. It reminded me too much of his AT&T commercials. Maybe it’s time for a new shtick?
3 or 5 stars.
Micheal Clayton. Perfect in every way. It had me glued in my seat trying to figure out what was happening. Clooney, Swinton, and Wilkinson do their acting very well.
4 of 5 stars.

1:00 Villa Ellicott
Went to the mercardo for some food stuff. How do you say, “A quarter kilo?” Drinking Fanta and San Miguel. We should be moving, up and about, but people are still asleep.8:05 Playa de les Marines
Sitting on the beach after swimming for the afternoon. Drove to Javea earlier through a winding road. It looked like a fun bike ride. Went to the boardwalk there. It was English. Ate at the English Chili’s. Served by an English waitress. Had fake calimaris. Walt at fake shrimp in garlic sauce. Mom had Paella Valencia w/o seafood. Now we’re back near Denia. Parked in a back alley. How do we get out?
“Uno quatro kilo, por favor.” I think.

6:55 Closing in on Madrid
I couldn’t find a comfortable position to sleep in on the plane. It was pure hell. The best I could do was w/my forehead on the seat in front. At least it kept me cool. Airbus doesn’t have a fan so it was warm and cold all night.
This day we got into Madrid. Got the rental car. I felt all smart with my iPhone mapping out directions to Villa Ellicott. Sadly, It wasn’t long before driving in another country made me feel stupid.
The president who should’ve been in 2000 won in 2007 the Nobel Peace Prize. He also won an Oscar and an Emmy. The dude hit the Triple Crown.
Remind me again what president fucktard has done?
I’m trying to get the new Radiohead album but I can’t for the life of me understand WTF I am looking at as I navigate their site. This dude complains a bit, but is very right about that site.
The more I wait. The more I want to put a negative number in that box so that Radiohead pays me for downloading their album.
It’s just like one of their albums. Inscrutable and arty for the sake of it. Please, someone, show me that Yorke guy so I can kick him in the nads.

2:00 Dulles
Waiting. Around early to beat the rush, but way too early that we’re sitting around. There’s not even an Iberia counter open.3:15 Eating @ Nelson’s Food and Spirits
Why? I got the blue cheeseburger and Walt got fish and chips. Again, why?8:20 Somewhere over the Atlantic
Beef or chicken? Beef. I should ask this girl sitting next to me for some help w/Spanish. Only six more hours to go. There goes the lights.
We left from Dulles International on a Thursday, because it was the only airport close with a direct flight to Madrid. Taking off from BWI would’ve meant a stop at JFK. We should’ve done Iceland Air: Baltimore, Reykyavik, Madrid.
We get there way early and sit and wait. And sit and wait some more.
Before 9/11, it would’ve been cool exploring the airport. Now not so much. Plus, Dulles has those buses which are weird and it’s architectural design which is moderne.
The younger me would’ve loved it. Now not so much.
One travel tip: ordering fish and chips at the airport is a big mistake.
When do we go?

In the early years of this blog, I didn’t know what to post. The best I could do was posting my travel log from the European Cruise I took with CapitolSwell and the Seed.
No body read them at the time.
Since I can’t find the time to think of a post, I am going to post my travel log from this year’s vacation in Spain. I hope it’s not embarrassing or boring. To make it worth your while, I am going to accompany the post with some of the pictures taken while out there.
Should be fun.
After NewsRadio Quote Month, I always take a break. Not because I have nothing to post, but I’m trying to adjust my schedule of work, school and play. It’s quite hard right now to post something fun as you can tell from my abbreviated post on the last movies I had seen in the theatre. I really wanted to do a review, but that would’ve not been done for a while.
I’m in the middle of doing tons of reading for class. I have to get started on a book for the ethics and I have to study for midterms in maintenance and evolution. I’m also struggling with getting a presentation done for maintenance and evolution while trying to watch a movie for ethics. It’s been tough that even my Netflix queue isn’t being serviced.
While searching for links to the previous post, I had come across this bit of greatness. I wanted to use it, but it didn’t fit the tone of that post.
Here it is now.
My favorite episode. My favorite character, evah! One of these days. I plan to watch every episode of The X-Files that I have on DVD and maybe comment on it. One of these days.
Or perhaps October can be The X-Files quote month. Erm. Probably not as it’s already a chore for NewsRadio Quote Month.
Mmmmm, Scully.
