Back to Cali.

Going back to Cali - LL Cool J
Director - Jonathan Demme

I'm back in Cali! Had to return sometime. Desperately needing to spend sometime relaxing and letting my body recuperate from the damage I've inflicted over the last two weeks. I completely wore myself out!! If that's believable. Actually I'm glad to be back. Cause in all honesty there's only so long I could rock the T's, jeans & converse look without losing it. Speaking of losing things... I lost my hair. Got another dramatic haircut. It's definitely something I will need to get used to. Need to rest now. Well at least I need to try. kisses. m.

And you always do...

I say you'll miss me
And you always do...


Miss me Blind - Culture Club


Of course you all miss me! It's a given. *giggle Of course I miss everyone too!! No worries I will be back next Sunday when I'm supposed to... although I haven't made it to Paris yet. I may be speaking too soon. For now I just got into Barcelona! Finally. The last few days were very long and filled with a stop in Zaragosa but still lots of travelling. Saw some very interesting landscapes along the way though. Very beautiful. Anyhow, don't miss me too much. M.

Estrella de Sevilla

Saw this in the metro last night. Absolutely loved this image! I can feel and just imagine my own emotion from it! I had to share. You get the idea. Wish we were here longer to take in the show. Just thrilled we stayed in Madrid an extra day... Too much to see. More later. M.

No You Girls!

No You Girls - Franz Ferdinand

Oh you dirty boys! Love it! kisses. m.

In for the kill.

In For The Kill - La Roux

Test Drive. You could call it that. I was trying to see what I could get away with as far as posting. Not much. This killed my cafe terminal yesterday. It just stalled. No smoke. *giggle I really don..t feel comfortable uploading personal stuff on the public terminals anyway. This is a video we saw at the hostel. It..s an artist I..ve been following for a bit. And you know... Since I love the night-time driving. Just sharing! kisses. m.

Leaving on a Jet Plane.

Leaving on a Jet Plane



Leaving on a jet plane - chantal kreviazuk


So I’m finally leaving the country! In about 5 days I’m leaving on a Jet Plane, heading to Spain for 10 days and Paris, France for about 4 days. It’s 2 months overdue, which is longer than it should have been. I’ve been kinda tight lipped about this trip cause I was afraid a few times that it was a no-go situation. But thanks to a very good friend, Nayo, who completely worked me into his trip [THANK YOU!!!!], it is GOING TO HAPPEN! I feel awful for this but I really need to be away from home right now, and this is the ultimate adventure too. It’s a somewhat backpack type of trip. Pack lightly. No computer. So there will be no internet, unless I hit up a café [which I may] and no mobile phone/mobile web, unless I plan to pay the piper all my hard earned cash. Which only text me or hit me up if you really, really need to share. Cause as sad as it is… I will answer that phone. No joking.


Spain

Casa Batlló - Antoni Gaudí

First stop is Madrid. I’m pretty much laid back about what there is to see. I’ve been researching as much as possible to get an idea of what there is, but honestly I’m pretty easy-going about it all. Again I’m really just so fortunate and blessed to be going at all. Second stop is Barcelona and… Ok ok, one of my goals is to see the work of Antoni Gaudí. There are several examples of his architecture in Barcelona. He is one of my all time favorites - architect/designer. His buildings are so fluid and life-like. It feels as though it’s a living breathing very much alive entity. Gaudi. Architecture. Art. Of course there will be some pics, after all, my inner ‘designer’ is screaming with anticipation. I can’t wait.


France [PARIS!!!]

Marion Cotillard - Lady Dior

Last Stop. I’m excited and really wishing I was there longer! But it’s another trip. Maybe this year too! I’m pumped. From the first moment I saw this photo I wanted to climb the Eiffel Tower and try to re-create this. Haha! So one of two things is going to happen… A) I get this amazing tourist picture that I can share with my friends and family and tell the story OR… B) I get an amazing picture of the French Police dragging me off, to share with everyone and live to tell that tale. Either way it’s a win-win situation as far as I’m concerned! Cause I will be climbing the Eiffel Tower! Officially I’m going to see a French concert, and I’m really looking forward to it! Last but not least, I will be attempting a cruise by the Louvre on a commando kamikaze mission to see what I can as fast as I can. Which I’m really beginning to think it’s an impossibility. It will be a definite far reach especially when there’s so much architecture/art to see. So there are just a few other crazy things I will be trying to get away with. But I’ll share my stories later… and because it’s me, there will be stories. Quite honestly, there's always a story, I just don’t share most of them.
