tidbits

I am over halfway done with my second camp. I´ve signed up for a 4th camp at the end of August. Perhaps it was a dumb move, considering how little I have been enjoying these camps. But now that my expectations are lower and I am learning how to deal with the kids, I think I can do another two weeks. I need the money for when I go to the US in september. Oh, right, I guess I forgot to mention that bit. I am going to the US for the first half of september. I will probably be in Boston at the start and at the middle, since I have a round trip ticket from Spain to there. Tell me if you will be around. I would love to do an extended trip to the land of the free and the home of the brave (I have quite a few friends in Washington as well as California), but alas, this time around I will be goign to Boston to see friends and Mississippi to see family.

I had a dream last night that my friend/flatmate from oxford Will Wiersma was alive. Actually, it was more like we all knew he had been dead and he was back from the netherworld. Also back from the dead was some guy from gordon, who I dont know very well and as far as I know isnt dead in real life. And he was running for president. And Erin Davidson was his campaign manager.
Camp is making me insane.

I went to a small town in the north of spain last weekend. I went there on my free day with some friends from the Burgos, the city I am working in this summer. Apparently a guy got eaten by wolves there a couple years back. I didnt know we had wolves in spain anymore. Go figure.

Bummer, I was hoping you'd come out to visit us, but I understand you desire to go to Boston.

I didn't know there were still wolves in Spain either.

En la población occidental, que se localiza en los montes del occidente asturiano, en el Alto Sil leonés y en los Ancares de León y Lugo, se censaron 12 osas con 24 oseznos. Cinco de estos 12 grupos familiares fueron localizados habitualmente en los montes del Alto Sil y de los Ancares (León).

Things I think in the city on the verge of winter

Winter is almost here. You can never tell for sure at this time of the year. One day it is warm, the next it is cold. But for the past couple of weeks, the Fall has been wrestling, and losing, to Winter. The mornings start out very cold, and slowly the day starts to warm a bit as the sun comes out. But the Cold stands patiently in the shadows, hidden from the sun's warmth, waiting for you to walk into the shade of a building or tree to show you how cold the air really is and remind you to bring a scarf. Today was especially chilly. Even our apartment made me wrap up a little tighter. It also made me close some of the windows that we had wide open. Our whole building is heated with a giant coal furnace in the basement that tends to turn our humble abode into a living inferno. We balance this out by opening windows. It is a terrible waste of energy, but we have no control over the heating. I read that madrid still has over 2000 buildings running their heating off coal. It is terribly...

Snowmelt demands movement

The sun is out again today. The snow has all but melted except for in the abandoned lots where they piled it up several stories high; but even those piles are melting, leaving behind all of the grime that was plowed up with the snow and rivulets of water running towards the nearest gutter. The fact that the water reaches the drain is quite a feat. Just weeks ago it would have frozen halfway across the sidewalk... and lain in waiting for an unsuspecting jogger. But, as I said before, the sun is out now, the temperatures are up, and the ice is nowhere to be seen. I am running out of excuses to avoid jogging, if you will permit the pun. I am in some of the worse shape of my life and I don't particularly feel good about it. Those of you who have known me for most of my life know that being "in shape" was never really been a priority of mine until recently. In high school I looked for ways to do the least amount of work possible in P.E class. When we played sports, I chose t...

Blogs

I remember when I started blogging. I think I was one of the first people I know to start blogging. Dont get me wrong, it was a cultural phenomenon back 4 years ago when I began, but none of my friends really did it. And then all of a sudden a bunch of us did. We all kept it up for a while, some came and went, but I had a pretty vibrant blogging community. Tonight I found myself checking my friends blogs and finding only abandoned websites for the most part. It kind of kills a lot of the fun of blogging for me. So I guess this post is a bit of a salute to all the blogs around me during this time: So I started thinking of all the people that had blogs I liked that stopped: -Jen -Erin Kidd (though she kept it up for a very short time) -Rebecca Wood (though it seems like she may start up again) -Kenny -Evangeline -Chris Cherene Or the ones that never really started up in the first place: -Charles And then there are the ones that I wish would write more often: -Ed Rand -Aitor -Erin Davidso...
