Perfectly planned! or is this called serendipity to be here while this is happening without planning it? ;-)

OK...yes...I am still talking about Spain even though I've been back for two weeks now ;-) ID4: 2 I am catching up on some things that I wanted to blog about while I was away - namely in-flight entertainment.  Heading over to Europe is usually sleep-time on the plane, so I don't get to see a ton of movies, but coming back we're going back in time (so to speak) and that allows for some

Another one from MTV spain while on vacation.I liked the energy of this song and the clip itself Spain Kiss the sky by Jason Derulo

Alright...I guess it's back to work time!  Still thinking on vacation though.  Here is a parade that we caught in Barcelona on our second day there (we missed something on the first day because it took forever to get to our place from the airport). This is the parade called Cerca Villa de doc dels diavles petits, which is part of the La Merce celebrations. This is video 1 of 2.

Something from the music channel Sol Musica in Spain. I liked this song, but I am not a fan of the vocals (frayed voice?) Spain Better than he can by  Shawn Mendez

Took some video of the Moros y Cristianos (Moors and Christians) parade in Sagunto Spain. Here is part 4 of 4 (the longest video) to get a sense of the parade and costuming.

It's amazing how much access to the internet is really woven into our daily lives.  For the past 2 weeks I've been away on vacation in Spain.  Before we left home I tried to be proactive, I scanned some of the book chapters that were due for my class while I was away, I got Assignment 1 done before I left, and I downloaded articles onto my Surface Pro so that I had reading material to

This is something I happened upon on MTV spain one day when we were taking a break from visiting museums. Interesting video clip and the  music is upbeat enough for me. Spain Fiesta in el infierno by Fangoria

I heard this song in Barcelona this week while having Tapas at a local restaurant. I think the song was the versione arabe, but this seems to be the regular version. Russia Ne me jugez pas by Sawt el Atlas

The Risa summer event is back on Star Trek Online!  I think that the event goes until July, at which point Agents of Yesterday drops. Risa and the Winter Wonderland are both seasonal favorites of mine :-)  As much as people look down upon playing "space barbie" (i.e. focusing on how your character and ship look instead of DPS), I am looking forward to rounding out the summer outfits
