zoëlandia: January 2009
http://zoelandia.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 8, 2009. It's come to my attention that my family and I do not speak like normal people. This was brought home to me today when I went to exchange some foundation at Sephora. I asked the girl whose eyes were shockingly green (and I am not talking about the irises, but the eye lids and the surrounding ocular region) to help me find a liquid foundation. "Well," she said," what are you looking for in a foundation? Who speaks this way? To which he replied, "Oh, do you have a vast array?

zoëlandia: December 2008
http://zoelandia.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 26, 2008. Howdy I've been sick. And not just a little bit actually. First there was the nothing little cold over Thanksgiving (oh and four days of migraine pain, but that's still not a huge deal). I thought I was on the mend but noooooooooo. Next day went to the doctor. They said flu! But that night I started vomiting. It was not unlike having cholera (I have had it so I know). I was so desperately sick I could not hold down water. Back to the doctor's that Saturday. Ensalada de queso de...

zoëlandia: August 2010
http://zoelandia.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. Some things I don't understand. 1 The Spanish eat all the time. I mean they eat all the time. And it's not health food or anything. It's fatty and salty and they don't seem to eat vegetables (unless they are fatty and salty). Here's what I mean:. 8:00 pastry and coffee, maybe a juice (definitely several cigarettes but that's actually a different entry). 5:00is coffee and a little something. 7:00-8:00 is tapas time. And then you get up and do it all again! Note that we don't want ...

zoëlandia: Today I had the freaking fuku
http://zoelandia.blogspot.com/2011/03/today-i-had-freaking-fuku.html
Thursday, March 3, 2011. Today I had the freaking fuku. If you don't know what the fuku is, you should read The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. It's explained in there. Basically, to sum it up, the fuku is a super evil bad luck which follows you and fucks you over and over and over until you can't stand it any more. And not in a good way. Yesterday in my post box I received a slip (dated 2/28/11 oddly enough) saying my package had arrived! I was having lunch with friends today! But why hadn't he rung?

zoëlandia: There is no general information
http://zoelandia.blogspot.com/2011/01/there-is-no-general-information.html
Thursday, January 27, 2011. There is no general information. I am here to say, that this week, it has literally landed us mere steps from the mad house. And it only cost us an additional $2500 since we had to fly back to the US to pick them up! We returned to Spain triumphant! Ready to turn these temporary visas into little plastic cards with a picture and a number on them, good at every Corte Inglés in all of Spain for identifying you! What did this mean? What the fuck were we talking about? Did you kno...

Thursday, September 30, 2010. Yesterday was the 29. Which meant that it was Huelga General (general strike) day in Madrid. It had been advertised for a while. We’d first seen banners and signs about a month ago when we were traveling in Andalusia. Since it was planned for the 29. It began on the evening of the 28. Of course, with a lot of noise, marching and massive amounts of stickering of windows and doors. Like many things in Spain, it didn’t begin early. We went out around 12:00 to see what was.
