food baby

again with the Metric. she sings to me. i don't know what it is about her. she brings so much booty shaking to me. so much anger. so much release. she's so therapeutic. i sometimes forget, no no, i couldn't forget...how incredibly, necessary music is for me to survive. it's almost my drug, if you want to call it that. it sends chills down my spine, my foot kicking, my head bobbing...it is essential...

now to the baby. i am currently holding one of THEE best meals i've ever had, in my stomach. right now. it's there. starters? a delicious salad. second? a mushroom lasagna with four different cheeses. postre? some OUT OF THIS WORLD banana/toffee/creme in the round shape surrounded by a delicate chocolate shell. all this of course with an INCREDIBLE mint chip ice cream and everything drizzled in homemade, TO DIE FOR chocolate sauce. oh. and some desert that Matt had, an alcohol served with nuts and raisins and dried figs on the side. OH. MY. LORD. it's a baby. oh, and that baby also had like four glasses of white wine. badda bing!!!

today was eventful. after being quite nervous to begin my barcelona journey, i finally got my ass out and saw the city a bit. well, not all of it, just areas. i saw sagrada familia. absolutely breathtaking. and then i took the metro and walked through las ramblas. you'll have to forgive me, the wine is replacing all the correct names with metric's lyrics which are playing in my ears right now. perhaps i should rewrite this tomorrow. oh sweet pleasure of life, how i love thee.

martin will be here tomorrow afternoon, and aunt nancy shortly after. then a delicious meal of gazpacho with the family. yes! my third serving since i've been here. i've had it almost every night. bring it on! it's soooooo good. can't wait to start my adventures with martin. i really think it's going to be just what i needed. thank you life, for being ever so great and full of opportunities for me to enjoy. i can't believe how blessed i am.

salud.
