Never been to Nixa, but I have a cat named Nixi.

Here's an old kitten pic:

what stuff did you like most about Barcelona? I had an awesome fancy meal there (Disfrutar; highly recommend) and an awesome non-fancy meal there (Bar Tapeo; highly recommend) and parts of it were quite pretty, but it just takes so damn long to get from one neighborhood to another

also, the number of times we tried to eat/drink somewhere in Barcelona and failed because it was too crowded, they were closing, and/or the wait was too long: at least 20, in four full days

the number of times we tried to eat/drink somewhere in Sevilla, Granada, or Madrid and failed because it was too crowded, they were closing, and/or the wait was too long: maybe twice, in ten full days

the number of excellent and interesting places to eat/drink in which we exchanged money for goods and services in Sevilla, Granada, and Madrid: nom nom nom nom dozens

maybe we just got unlucky in Barcelona, idk

which reminds me, I still owe confirmedtroll a post mortem on where we went

The general vibe of the nightlife was so great, some of the nicest bars I've been in there. Plus you've got a beach right in the city, and more cool stuff to go look at than most cities can manage. Had the best dessert I've ever had in a restaurant I forget the name of (dessert was called 'A Trip to Havana', cigar smoke infused ice cream with a mojito granita that was all just perfect). But really it was having way too many small snacks and beers on streetside bars where if you avoided the worst tourist traps the general standard was very solid. Just loved the place, both times I've been.
Maybe I'm immune to this, given how bad it is to find a table anywhere as a Londoner.

Bloo, do you remember roughly which neighborhood(s) you were in for the streetside bars? We were staying in El Born, which I thought was really cool-looking and chock full of bars and restaurants, and yet somehow simultaneously didn't feel "real" to me, being as it was a kind of hipster/scenester/expat disneyland

(the part where I wandered around a random corner and saw a big Roman-era wall felt pretty real, though; I wish we had that effortlessly suffused sense of history in the US)

aww. We had a great white cat thru the 90s, bad-ass hunter. He'd kill lizards and line them up on the porch for our approval.

Eixample and the Gothic Quarter mainly. The latter is uber touristy but who cares.

confirmed

agreed

There's a fun documentary on Netflix called The Final Member about the penis museum trying to get a human penis.

I had a great breakfast in this place in the Gothic Quarter after being turned away from the brunch place I was trying to go to (i was eating by myself and they had a single open seat at the bar, but they said i needed to put my name on the waiting list for a table because the bartender decided not to fill that seat with anyone. I mean!)

the place i ended up was everything i love about Spain; a single small room with a couple of cheap tables and chairs, overseen by a crusty-but-affable old guy who's probably been there since 1963, with a couple of guys in the corner reading newspapers who have probably been there since 1964, serving a limited breakfast menu which at its most fancy consisted of bread with tomatoes and olive oil (unlike virtually everywhere else in Spain, he didn't have ham because "ham is too expensive!"), drinking wine from one of the many barrels that line the wall behind the counter, and the whole bill comes to $4 or $5

that was fun; screw the brunch place

wine for breakfast?

that's properly going native

brunch, yo

it was at least 10:30 in the morning

it's gonna bug me that i put a semicolon instead of a colon at the beginning of that last paragraph, but not enough for me to sully the nice clean lines of the post borders with a "last edited by Gadarene at xxx" scarlet letter

a siren to the world that i couldn't get it right the first time

When we lived in an apartment, Nixi used to kill mice. I think she was just trying to play, but her version of playing with mice was a lot like Lennie Small and rabbits.

When I got back from Belgium, my wife informed me that Nixi had killed a pregnant mouse. She knew it was pregnant because there were mouse fetuses dangling.

Can one of the fine POG lawyers here help me draft a letter? I would greatly appreciate it.

To Whom It May Concern,

Whereas on the 6th of June, 2016, it was established that my client, hereafter referred to as "IAmRobik", is a villager, and whereas the title of villager confers upon the bearer certain rights, privileges, and benefits, Mr. Robik demands that the Puzzles And Other Games Corporation honor its obligation to uphold the night actions to which he is properly entitled.

Sincerely,

Stahp. I'm serious, this is a big problem for me. I'm not very articulate and I need to write a letter to an insurance company who is dragging its feet after their client hit my car

While we are making lawyer requests, if there are any with experience in custody law and possible child harm, I would appreciate a PM. Summer fast approaches and our lawyer hasn't given us a very satisfactory answer and I'm looking for a (pretty basic) second opinion

Sounds like y'all better call Saul. He's at that Korean nail salon drinking cucumber water.

See if something like this helps get you started, Robik

Maybe Bloo and xander are young, but I feel like if I were European, my list would be over twice this large.
