Vanesa Has a Website (and Blog!)

Paul — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 11:10:53 +0000

Hello. Hello Google Indexing Spiders!

Vanesa has a new website located at http://vanesaperezsauquillo.com/

and a new blog

http://vanesaperezsauquillo.blogspot.com/

Cool beans!

Woohoo!!!

WOWZER! It wasn’t easy, but I did it: 1 year without a single blog post!

Now, seeing as time testing my inactivity is probably not the bestest of uses for a domain name I’m paying for, I should probably get around to thinking of something better to do with this site. Maybe a showcase for some of my music / photography. That might be something interesting…

While on our honeymoon in Nice, France I lost a 4gb SD memory card for my camera. It was in a black SanDisk case. If anyone has found this card, I would be extremely grateful if you could please contact me.

-1 SanDisk Ultra II Compact Flash 15mg/s 4GB

-1 black SanDisk Pouch

Thank you, Merci, Gracias, Grazie!

Wow, it’s gotten kinda quiet around here…

Helloooooooooooo… Heeeeeeeelloooooooooooooooooooooo…

::Paul runs his finger across the series of dusty tubes that his blog used to regularly frolic through, his lips pursed and brow furrowed, wondering how he could have let his unfinished collection of haphazard yet profound quotidian expositions fall into such abject wretchedness::

::sigh::

Well, I’m not making any promises here, but I’ll be damned if I abandon this to go and express my innermost thoughts, joys, fears, preoccupations and non sequiturs in 140 characters or less. But for the time being, I should probably get back to doing the work they’re paying me be here for rather than ambling around these dusty annals of reminiscences.

Peas.

Wedding Gong!!

Paul — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:38:07 +0000

Just in case the wedding bells weren’t loud enough to get the news to the 5 people who read this blog, I’m breaking out the wedding gong!

I’M GETTING MARRIEDoooooooonnnnnnggggggggg!!!!

Vanesa and I will be happily married in April ’09 here in Madrid and a grand time will be had by all. Much of my family will be making it over the pond for the event and that alone makes me all happy inside. Spain is my home and is quite a lovely country, so it’ll be a pleasure to show that to everyone who hasn’t been here before.

Only 5 months to go and we’ve already got a date, a church, a reception hall and the bridal gown. Next step is mailing out the invitations, which we’re designing right now, and figuring out where everyone is going to stay for the time they’re here. We’re trying to think of it as a scavenger hunt to make the process fun instead of the overwhelming fiasco that people try to make it out to be.

Good times!

Peas!

Ireland – Part 1

Paul — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 17:05:03 +0000

Vanesa and I are spending the month of August tucked away in the countryside of Ireland. No car, no maps, no tourist destinations… just be. Here’s part 1: the first few days of the trip.

Gay Pride ’09 – Madrid

Paul — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 21:43:17 +0000

You have to have forgotten film in your camera not to come home from Gay Pride with some memorable pictures. Since every character roaming around Pride with a costume on is willing to pose at the hint of interest by someone holding something that looks like a camera, I tried to look for moments of tenderness and affection that make Gay Pride what it really is: that two people, be they of the same sex or different, can openly express their love for each other.

Petting Zoo

Paul — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:27:50 +0000

Vanesa and her family take me out to Faunia, a theme-park-ish zoo on the outskirts of Madrid. They don’t got bears or giraffes or all the other celebrity animals that one would see in a zoo, but they make up for it with the always fun experience of seeing an animal and saying, “What the hell is THAT?!?!”
