I really do have a thing about cars and driving. I’ve been known to make cracks about The Beach Boys writing more songs about cars than girls, but I am fully aware of the degree of which I get swept up in the mythology of a car. Its not the status symbol of a car;…

To Do Tomorrow: Vinyl Thoughts Next Level Art Show (Video Game Mural and Vinyl Toys)
Tomorrow night I’ll be heading out to Vinyl Thoughts. Its an art show that features custom vinyl toys. This time there’s a video game theme. I had to go down and check out the mural for the show of course. And of course, the mandatory touristy self shot.. The show starts at 7 tomorrow (Thursday…
Tarragona, Spain – Part 1: the Roman City, Re-used.
(a late travel blog) Taking the train from Barcelona to Tarragona was the greatest test of my Spanish that I encountered in Spain. Or rather, buying the ticket. But no, I’ve got to take that back too. It was not taking the train or buying the ticket, it was the three hour struggle with the…

SpyCam Barcelona, part 2
I didn’t just take a few pictures of people I don’t know. I got braver as I went. I’m pretty sure that she is pretty sure that I just took her picture.. but she’s not quite for sure. At La Sagrada Familia, it’s easy to snipe a spy shot; everyone is looking up. At La…
SpyCam Barcelona – part 1
Sometimes I like to take pictures of people I see that I don’t know. That might be a little creepy. But I’m getting pretty good at it. I took two of this girl in pink, sitting outside La Sagrada Familia. I picked this one because it also includes the lady looking at her camera to…
