Pushing My Prius

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark April 10, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareI wrote this a while ago for my friends and family…before the, uh….issues that have arisen with my Prius and other Toyota models. Somehow, it adds a bit of irony and even drama to the part where someone is wondering how a Prius is on their tail in the rear view… I have a personal […]

A Skiing Philosophy: Or, Life in Contrasts

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark April 4, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareI went skiing this weekend. One might ask how were the conditions. Well, it really depends on if you ask a pessimist or an optimist. I would say there were many elements to the two full days of pursuing fun that highlighted some of the yin and yang in life…and I wanted to share my […]

Crazy Aunt Club – I’ve Been Inducted!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 28, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareIt’s official. I have evolved (or degraded) into the quirky, eccentric aunt everyone either wants or dreads or somewhere-in-between. You know, the non-conforming aunt with no children, who has no social restraints imposed by fellow parents or schools or society to behave in a respectable and modest fashion. The one who travels, downs hot spicy […]

Music Discovery: Joe Bonamassa Concert

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 20, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareOK, it’s not like I “discovered” Joe Bonamassa, any more than Columbus “discovered” America. It was there, waiting to be noticed, appreciated, revered. And I’m so glad this man’s music and talent patiently awaited my discovery 🙂 I can really say to this guy, “you rock!” , and mean it in the literal sense. I […]

Spain-i-licious Serendipity: Bar Hopping in BCN

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 13, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareI found a bar in Barcelona. I know – amazing, right? To find a place for cocktails in the self-proclaimed party capital of Spain, the fiesta capital of the world. It is called BAR-celona, haha. But, you see, those other bars, they don’t have Estefania, a Windex-wielding, hip shaking, singing camarera. Allow me to start […]

Olive Me – Why Not Take Olive Me?

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 11, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareWhole olives or olive oil? As we flew into Seville, Spain, our plane passed over vast groves of olive trees…so appropriate a welcome. I can’t help but wonder what is consumed more – olives in their tasty, meaty entirety? Or the olive oil that goes into virtually every dish? Even at breakfast the Sevillanos drizzle […]

Seville Spain: A Happiness Theory and My “New Math”

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 10, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareIn addition to the Spanish language courses that I’ve been taking, I´ve also been studying math and philosophy in Seville. Please review my research and results below: Sevillian Math: One Way Walk to School = 1 T.V (Tinto Verano) Return Trip from School = 1 Leche Manchada (Some Powerful Coffee with Lots of Milk) Taking […]

Sevilla: Flamenco Fabulousness

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 8, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareAuthentic flamenco, like passion, is elusive. The more desperately you seek it and need it, the more the true-ness of it escapes you. It’s hardly in it’s most genuine form when dinner and sangria are included! The same with describing it. Right now, any proper words just to convey what it is are scarce. Therefore, […]

Always New…York

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 6, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareI’ve been here before. But was it the same city? And was I the same person? As Heraclitus of Ephesus observed: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” For a person who enjoys variety and stimulation of every sense, it’s hard […]

ShareCall me crazy. Loca. Fou. 疯狂 Verrückt. Gek. Pazzo. шально. 미친. Luoca. τρελλός. 狂気 …OK, stop! lol In any language, I may be opening myself up to serious injury, disease, disgust, ridicule, discomfort, poverty, digestive complications, even, Heaven forbid, boredom. No, I doubt boredom. If, by taking suggestions from my readers on where to go, […]
