Did Tolstoy know, that he exposes my worst weakness and greatest fear; that she wouldn't have married me if she had had a better childhood?

Happy families are all alike. Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. If my wife had a better childhood, wouldn't I be happier now?

I forgive Huell Howser's politics, I love his accent, knack for finding good in anything & his podcast makes me homesick http://bit.ly/FcQec

Just in time for people (criminals) who don't want to register their pay-as-you-go SIMcards, as the EU is requiring: http://ping.fm/oO5lh

okay, so is a "buycott" the same as a "girlcott" ? sometimes I feel sorry for Spanish news translators

Pigs? Fishies? Are they sarcastic? In Spanish it sounds like pigland-Cerdeña; English sounds like Sardine; Italian Sardegna sounds sardonic.

If you live in Spain and have $1500 you can get an iPhone that will work with your existing SIM, even if you don't use Telefonica. http://ping.fm/6dW4S

So, "Nemo Me Impune Lacessit" doesn't apply to the Barabbas of Lockerbie. Western Civ keeps turning its best traits in the wrong direction.

Why Europeans have no qualms pirating American products? Snow Leopard single user box set $169 within US; but $209 + $33 VAT = $242 in Spain

@Colin: For some reason, when I got up this afternoon, my wife was trying, unsuccessfully, to tune in to a local radio station that plays popular flamenco music. It reminded me of when we lived back in the States, and would practically wear-out her CDs that had artists like Pastora Soler, Nina Pastori or Alba Molina, whenever she was feeling homesick.
So, now we're in Spain, whenever I'm feeling the 'blue Virginia blues,' I find myself getting out the Alison Krauss and Union Station, or Rhonda Vincent and the Rage CDs, and going for a drive.
Back when we lived in Virginia, my Dad would play the Stained-Glass Bluegrass show on the radio as we drove to church on Sundays, and my Mom would put on the Thistle & Shamrock show on the drive home.

I got back from my own drive today, and started listening to this music done by these Scythian guys, and it was truly a nice touch, and well timed.
I've been reading about Alan Lomax, and wondering now if he wouldn't have loved getting a couple of Ukrainians to "sing into his can."

Also, back in Virginia I was taught under the Suzuki school as well. Mostly, I just fiddled around, though ;-)

On Virginia's flag, the victor stands over the conquered tyrant, wearing her Amazonian garb. On a few occasions the ancient Scythians joined ranks with the queens of the Amazons to attack the Greeks. Ages later, the Goths started their migration from the northern shores of the Black Sea, ending up in Spain, and even today, in the Canary Islands, teenage punks spray paint "Fuera Godos" on the handball courts.

How many of us, throughout time, have imagined retiring to the golden shores of some blessed and fortunate island in the west, only to find we're still stuck in Spain, eating macaroni and cheese?

As Joe Walsh says, "I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far."

Hopefully I won't soon get bored, but so far following @JQAdams_MHS has enlightened me to this: http://ping.fm/Z3fSz

forgot how revolting it is to have started eating a beautiful apple, only to find it tastes awful & has half a worm still in it. Like voting

I have gained over a kilo a week for eight weeks straight. And I did it without diet or exercise!
