The Local Eye: Cordoba Part 1
http://localeye.blogspot.com/2010/08/cordoba-part-1.html
Saturday, August 28, 2010. I got on the bus, and left behind the camera debacle as best as I could. Now, Granada was the easternmost point I went to in Spain, and Cordoba. Was going to be the northernmost. Granada was a bustling centre of students and a hub for a lot of tourists, while Cordoba. The whole feel of Cordoba. I thought about having supper, then I just started watching a World Cup game from the window of an eatery. All of a sudden I heard, "Hey Steve! It was Amy again! First to the Pews.

The Local Eye: Sevilla
http://localeye.blogspot.com/2010/08/sevilla.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. I left Cordoba, a quiet town, called the Damascus of the West (and a town at the centre of the "9-11 Mosque" debacle), and took the bus for Sevilla. A very busy city by comparison. Sevilla. And its residents a lot. It definitely has a very romantic feel to it, despite its size. The character of Don Juan was based in Sevilla. And there is a statue of him to this day. Any resident of Sevilla. My first job when I got to Sevilla. Was to find a place to stay, according to the usual p...

Friday, September 25, 2009. The Concert of a Lifetime - Part 2. As day gave way to dusk, and dusk in turn yielded to darkness under the shadow of the CN tower, my pulse increased as it struck me that I really was about to see U2. And then, I saw the cars roll in. They were in the stadium. Part 3 is yet to come. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. The Concert Of a Lifetime - Part 1. Part 2 is coming. Sunday, September 6, 2009. Good conversation.

The Local Eye: June 2008
http://localeye.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 10, 2008. I don't know if I will ever forgive the CBC. I'm just so shaken up that I don't know what to say or how to say it, so I'm turning to the readers of the blogosphere for comfort. Back to the issue. The CBC has discarded what can reasonably as a Canadian institution. HNIC is probably one of the only reasons why many people even want to keep the CBC. I am switching to the CTV for my Canadian news coverage. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). First to the Pews. In Philadelphia write (Beth).

One of my friends passed along a great tip for little hands that want to help with stirring – use a whisk! Ingredients are much less likely to be flung across the kitchen and much more likely to stay in the bowl. Designed by Ana White. This cornbread recipe comes via Diana Henry in the Telegraph. 150g coarse yellow polenta. 50g butter, softened.

The Local Eye: July 2008
http://localeye.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2008. I recently had the opportunity to go visit Julia's place and family in Parry Sound. It was great! Parry Sound is a beautiful area of Ontario, placed in a labyrinthine interchange of rocky, wooded land. And the deep, blue waters. I hate zebra mussels. Monday, July 14, 2008. Lord of the Rings. Thursday, July 10, 2008. Wednesday, July 9, 2008. End of an Era. Well, the sweet day finally arrived a few weeks ago when I handed in the last paper of my degree! I now have my M.A. ...It's ...

The Local Eye: January 2011
http://localeye.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 24, 2011. It's times like this in which travelling alone is unpleasant. I ate them, and their effects on my already parasite-tainted body were wholly unpleasant. There was no bathroom on the bus, but it did stop at what seemed like every local village. As the sun went down, we by-passed the depressingly industrial outskirts of Cadiz, and I started to wonder how long it would take. South and south we went, now in the darkness, until I could see across the straights of Gibraltar. Tarifa is ...

The Local Eye: August 2009
http://localeye.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 24, 2009. Continuing in my review of the 24 books I have planned to read in 2009, the second category I planned to read from was Medieval Literature. For this category, I read Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales". First off, I would like to say that I eschewed reading them in their original Middle English, as in 2008 I took a graduate class where there was far too much reading in Middle English. Wednesday, August 19, 2009. I spent the next few hours leading firemen and electric inspectors through ...

The Local Eye: October 2009
http://localeye.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 11, 2009. I'm sick. not badly, but for long enough to lower my morale. I love reading this poem when I'm sick, although when you have the flu, it's a tad dramatic. This gem was written by John Donne eight days before his death. Hymn to God, My God, in my Sickness. Since I am coming to that holy room,. Where, with thy choir of saints for evermore,. I shall be made thy music; as I come. I tune the instrument here at the door,. And what I must do then, think here before. As west and east.
