7 years late: November 2008
http://7yearslate.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
They can't see. me. Wow this might be the most captivating thing i have ever seen. i can't stop rewinding this over and over. watch:. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Ok, in high school this song defined me, and us. but in no way did everybody get together and sing it. we did this in groups of two, in the car, at the spot, alone. we were rebellious, special, insular. But witness these kids, feelin it, reclaiming this song. absolutely this is one of the most inspiring things i have ever seen. The world chang...

7 years late: March 2009
http://7yearslate.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
My freelance writing career is off to a slow start. this is the third time i've tried to reinvent my professional life, and somehow it always surprises me that i have to claw my way in from the bottom. of course it can't help that newspapers across the country are laying off journalists so the market must be particularly flooded at the moment. Links to this post. Remember my new years resolutions. But let me just make this clear: if i send you something in the mail PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know that y...

The latest group of stamps has been mostly banal: from airports in the u.s. and madrid. combined with a noticable lack of working visa, these present a tell-tale history of my illegal status in spain. luckily these clues are hidden like needles in the haystack of my colorful and exotically-stamped passport so nobody seems to notice. All i have left from the little book is a set of photographs i took of its pages, which became the banner for my webzine nothing to declare. Links to this post. Brace yoursel...

7 years late: bits and bobs
http://7yearslate.blogspot.com/2009/02/bits-and-bobs.html
Finally, i saw a great band the other night. they're called columpio asesino. And they're the rare spanish band i've heard that i've loved. they sound a little bit like yo la tengo, with dashes of pixies. go check it out. The FOTC episode with kristen wiig and the lost dog? So funny. another good HBO show to watch - summer heights high. only 8 episodes and super hilarious. its off air in the US now but maybe on dvd if you havent seen it?

http://7yearslate.blogspot.com/2009/02/one-month-late.html
Goals: one month late. Well, it's time for the third. Listing of new year's resolutions, cleverly called goals to make them seem more inspiring and fluid. let's look back at last year's, shall we? Continue with: yoga, guitar, feeling wonderful about birthdays. Get nothing to declare to a solid 5 posts per week. bring readership up over 150 individual hits per day. Get going on writing that monthly column. Finish writing my novel in february. edit the two parts together and decide what to do with it.

http://7yearslate.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
What is one to do in this situation? Well, it's simple. crank some live ween! It's hallo-ween after all! I think i'm going to have an all ween day. and i can't wait. Links to this post. Recently i have found a way to import this hobby into my life in madrid, by subscribing to the premium crosswords. Last night, impatiently waiting for the thursday crossword to be posted, i watched wordplay. A documentary about the people who make and solve the times puzzles. not surprisingly, a four letter word meani...

7 years late: small rant
http://7yearslate.blogspot.com/2009/03/small-rant.html
Remember my new years resolutions. One of them was to send more letters and gifts, be more spontaneously caring across the large distance that separates me from many of my friends and family. and over the past months i have really enjoyed the pleasures of doing this. When i was a kid, i had to write a thank-you note. But, not everybody was raised as well as i was. and one doesn't give presents to receive thanks. so i'm willing to lower the bar here. the words "thank you" are not required! In my spare time.

7 years late: July 2008

But i just got carded the other day! Why is the sponsored link at the top of my gmail inbox for date a cougar dot com? Old ladies who are into young men). Should i be offended? What makes google think i'm an old lady, let alone a cougar? Links to this post. I am back in the homeland, and being struck by the very american-ish ways of this place. For example: double bagging. why do we do this? When did this start? When they convinced the public to take two instead of one, thus doubling their sales. Combine...
