DIM: too bad.

Ok, here's a briefing on what I did in Madrid. On the whole it was a very cultural trip. My family and I visited both the Prado and the Reina Sofia museums. So now I can boast with that I've seen paintings by Dalì, Rubens, Masson, Velasquez, Picasso and Goya, to name the most famous ones, IRL. Especially the temporary exhibition with André Masson's works was very cool. We also did quite a lot of sightseeing and general strolling around in the old parts of Madrid.

We wanted to visit the royal palace too, but the queue was 300 meters long and moved very slowly. Guardia Civil was checking all openings to the sewers to be sure there weren't any bombs, and the very grim guys with machineguns didn't make the whole thing more inviting, so we did something else.

We did also visit Toledo and Chinchón, both very pittoresque towns. In Toledo, the cathedral was investigated, and I got tempted to buy a full medieval armor, but I didn't have the 3000 € required on my credit card account so I had to let it be. :bah: Chinchón was even more pittoresque than Toledo, and far more provincial. Only the local grand square made it worth the trip there, and the narrow alleys were cozy.

And yes, I didn't buy that much spirits on the airport, so you don't need to pray for my liver. :p

i think irl is highly overrated as a painter. :p

well, glad you've had fun, cot. with all these people traveling, i'm often surprised i never meet you guys at some airport or othen.
then i remember i might not even recognize you, feel silly, and start crying in my pillow like a little girl. ;)
 
TUOMASSSSS :D fireangel, explain! that BTD interview. Who, what, where, why, WHAT? Hello, I'm slightly obsessed with BTD :eek:

@ Rus: But they don't know you've got trouble already. Tell them to bugger off if they won't let you know stuff. *hugs again* Or just escape here and i'll take care of you ;p
 
idari: *LOL* what you wanna know? Could you ask a bit more precisely? ;D Because when, where and why is already told in the introduction ;)

Good to see people who like BTD :)
 
NF: Crushed again, I've just been re-reminded about things, and I'm also fucking pissed off at myself for almost forgetting them.

@Santtu: if only.

That's too bad man.. the Spanish royal palace is THE thing to see in Madrid. I'd even say it's the most impressive place I've ever seen so far.

Your trip sounds like it was fun though ..glad to hear.
 
NF: like a man who has won a free ticket to see Mayhem. I just read my mail (junk mail box) today and 2 of 3 gigs have already been held.

The gig is at Loop, Oulu, Finland, 15. of this month. Does anyone know people from Oulu who dig Mayhem, i can probably give him a free passage?
 
i join the happy airport campers having spent five hours in one today. thanks heavens for good books.

You bring the biscuits, I'll bring the tea.

i might use some tea or other calming beverage, considering that the contents of my stomach have no intention to stay put. i might also use, say, a new stomach. and feel free to substitute to stomach any other word or series of words you can think of, except maybe for "user like profanity spamming my board".

nf: like everything is going round in circles to a point, and truth emerges rhythmically. there's absolutely no hope that challenging the centuries-old system of so-called conservative values can bring happiness: after all, if these values held fast for all these years either we've been created to accept them (that's the option for the religiously oriented) or they simply work in reality and are therefore passed on in time (that's an option that can be embraced by anyone, religiously oriented or not). and it all boils down to the same old story: there's no particular freedom in knowing that you materially can speed through a red light if you know that you'll be fined afterwards. some years ago i tended to believe that this kind of reduction of the possibilities was a dire consequence of embracing a specific brand of metaphysics, while i'm now convinced that, no matter what one thinks, the fine is going to be in the mail well before one dies, for reasons that i fail to understand at the moment. the paradoxical part is that i'm almost happy to know this, as terribly cynical as it is, because this puts an end to emotional exploitation. what is left in place of it, bu only knows.
