i moved to madrid this morning. i have an interview to work at a hostel in half an hour, and i may start work tomorrow. the weather is gorgeous and hot!!!! i love it. much better than the melancholy overcast humidity of amsterdam. i was saddened to have my last dutch conversation for awhile this morning. but now i'm onto another language. with a "lisp." :)

pride is this weekend, and i'm meant to spend the following weekend in the country with friends. i'll try to work out a residence permit this week. wish me luck! if all else fails, i suppose i'll become an illegal immigrant and never leave the country for fear of being denied re-entry.


Glad to hear you are keeping up your vagabond ways. Tell me, who's the red-faced Diana who appears rather distraught in her phone conversation? (I'm assuming your parade of Dianas is continuing.)
Let's get right to it.

I was afraid to ask; she looks like she's underdone an involuntary face peel.  (Paging Dr. Zizmor.)

Meantime, this comes from the wife of a fellow Schwab alumnus (Mark - it's Doug Dowson's wife Donna, who did landscaping for this project): http://www.streetofdreams.com/show_details.php?id=18 ... the houses (in Auburn, CA, which I gather is close to Sacto) look a little stodgy for my tastes, but they're undeniably impressive in their way.

Speaking of Dianas, the one named Krall is preggers (the daddy is Elvis C):

Enjoy and keep us posted on la vida en Madrid.
I spent a week in Madrid and another week out and about wrapping up in Costa del Sol. Many, many years ago. One day I want to see the Azores and Portugal.

Tres jolie!  But I confess I've never wanted to braid my hair to look like vertebrae.   :D

particularly considering the billing as "La mejor revelacion del Folk negro en USA", not sure how to translate 'revelacion' in this context, revelation is surely not quite right, but the rest of the sentence says that you are the best in the USA.  You sure you didn't put these up by yourself?
