I just found a place where I could download the song "Wig Wam Bam" by the Sweet. I have been looking for this song for FOREVER. You have no idea. This makes my life that much more complete.
Now I can listen to it 23904879387 times!
I will slowly but surely move it up to top played in iTunes. Done and DONE!

MMMm, octopus
As I browse gospain.about.com and look at the top ten Spanish foods for my trip, I saw that number two was "Pulpo a la Gallega" aka Galician Octopus. I told this to my brother, who responded "like Oswald?"

Yes, like Oswald.

The Wonders of Travel
As I prepare for my 5-month trip to Spain, I have become more and more concerned about the trip, including what to bring and such.
Today was quite interesting, since I was discussing the safety issue. You may know that in Spain, it is very common to be robbed or pickpocketed. At school in Chicago, I carry pepper spray in my purse, and I fortunately have never needed to use it.
I thought about whether or not I would be allowed to bring this with me to Spain. I went to the TSA website, and discovered that aerosols are not allowed on either carry-on OR checked luggage. UNLESS, of course, it is for personal care. Then I discovered a whole section of the site dedicated to weaponry, including pepper spray. And yes, it is allowed on checked luggage. But apparently Spain has laws regarding the chemical makeup of the spray, so I have to look more in-depth as to what kind I have.
But in this section, I also discovered that Nunchakus, throwing stars, and Kabutons are allowed in checked luggage as well. PHEW. I'll be set then.
This discussion of pepper spray and attacks led my mom to try and convince us to buy a taser, Veronica Mars-style. This led to the inevitable, "Mom, I am NOT getting a taser for Spain!" Every family's discussion about travel, I know.
She is still arguing with me to look up if they are legal or not.
oh, and the Veronica Mars thing? view this...
