Bilbo Baggins and the hottest old dude ever
Bilbao was absolutely nuts. I've never seen so many people barf as I have in Bilbao. And I got to eat pig snout, how cool is that? I was surprised that it was not hairy. This is a bathroom I really liked inside the Gugg.
The Bilboans (huh?) definitely know art and humor. Enjoy this example of street art.
Obviously, a trip to Bilbao would not be complete without seeing fucking Iggy and the Stooges rock the city. Goddamn that man is hot. And old. Old and hot.

uh, espana?
So we got a hotel for our first night (to soothe the anxiety of some people... I'll name no names) called Petit Palace Italia. The main sell was the massaging shower (nice!), but when I got here (30 minutes ago?) I found out it was part of a chain called High Tech Hoteles, and boy were they right! Internet access, plasma screen tv, the works! Here's some pics. Enjoy!
Me in the mirror. Huge mirror. Also, don't be alarmed by the girl in the bed. That's Doug's friend. I'm afraid I don't actually "work it" that fast... you know, like an hour in country and I already have a girl in my hotel room?
Doug just washed his feet.

Worst thing ever...
Last week I discovered the worst thing ever. My computer (12inches of powerbook) has developed a condition in which it rocks back and forth when I put my palms on it. This is annoying. When I flipped the computer over I noticed that OH LORD!! a rubber foot pad is MISSING!!! Now, I'm not gonna sit here and accuse anyone of STEALING it, but whoever did it (Imlookingatyoujoecarlstevewendysamantha) just know that I know and also that EYE know and my I's EYE is LOOKING for some grubby little TAKEYHANDS of the sort that like to FILCH rubber!

I am I am I am I am
I wish some things were more fun and other things were less fun. That's what I wish.

I knew a Kevin.
That is the funniest quote from a "zine" (yes they still exist) that I read this weekend. This morning I woke up and got coffee and then twin made me a fried egg sammich. After that I returned movies to my most favorite new video rental place (because it stays open late), then I went to get a cell phone "unlocked". This - I swear - is not illegal. Other things that I sometimes do are - in the fact and in the legislation - illegal, though I cannot say any more at this time about those. Now I get to sit down with a new and very small friend and ask him probing questions until the sun comes up. Sounds romantic doesn't it? If only you knew...
