Just a guy

80 days ran out. Final twist predictable, but the "this book is a classic that influenced an entire public domains-length of later writers" predictable. Cant be held against it.

Was suprised that she got to wield a gun, abd be more then just a damsel on the train. But not suprised at the problematic native Americn portrayal.

Plan b book was the first volume of "apothecary diaries" (look, they didnt have a large english selection in BCN airport).

I dont understand how her wage goes to the people who sold her... "sold" kind of implies a severed connection. The extremely early introduction of the concept of Panacea as a goal is slightly worrying. As is the decision to follow a love potion/aphrodesiac" story without one ending in a splash panel wondering if its possible to turn love itself into some kind of potion. (If she ends up saying love is panacea, i am gonna barf).

Complements to the artist, i found it shocking easy to adapt to the japanese backwards panel lay-out (always a struggle) and i loved the little dance.

"This is the extremely potent lovepoison" she says. Holding a tiny pellet.

"What's with the Big Fucking Loaf then?"

They said i'll probably get tickets comped for it. Which is a relief at least...

Was a great performance, don't get me wrong. But not the one i booked booked an entire vacation around.

Finally found a hardwarestore and bought a tapemeasure.

They are all off. 20 cm thickness for overhead carry-on, and they were all 21 through 22.5 (mist were 20 at the corners, but they were all concex and im not taking chances).

Progressing through his career one room at a time, watching ghe feature become more abstract, is what i inagine it be like walking through the brain of al Alzheimers patient, who can no longer recognise his daughters face. Or anyone's face for that matter

The music on the audioguide at the room dedicated to "else colomins" is great.

At the "las meninas" exhibition, the focus is on contrast with Velázquez's original version. Which doesnt really work as its far less known. A picture of the original with which it is conversing, would help explain this dialogue.

Gonna have to stop reading 80 days soon, already halfway through and i cant risk running out of pages on a 2 hour flight. Should probably be something English in the BCN airport bookstore, but also cant remember seeing anything English at AMS so i dont want to risk it.

Hop on/off tour was dissapointing 2 hours.

Park guell was... interesting, but in a weird way. A lot of it the stuff just kind of "was there"? A failed attempt at a gated community thst never even reached the customer stage.

Dont get me wrong the filtration in the pillars for the cistern (or did the guide say system? Accents...,) is an impressive double-use. But aside the strange choice to mic gargoyles with columns, it all felt kind of bleh.

Guess thats the thing with experimental projects, not all experiments are a success.

Liked the salamander though. Got him as some hairclips. Coolest emergency overflow valve i've ever seen.

Sagrada is an ugly thing tbh. Looks big and imposing sure, but its iconograohy is cluttered, the symbolic equivalent of clinkling keychsins to entertain a toddler.

Saw more beauty on the parkbench behind it, then i did at that Tower of Babel looking thing. Phone started to run out of batterijen before my tineslot though, so i went back to the accomodations.
