On our flight to Barcelona from Cannes the weather was really bad. It felt like we were riding a roller coaster. We got to the hotel so early we had to walk around for a few hours till check in, only it started to rain and we sat in the lobby, before going back to the lobby we walked to the port, the Christopher Colon statue and some fake ikea store. I guess the guys at the front desk didn´t like that so they let us have our room early. We slept for a little bit then woke up and went for a walk around La Rambla. That night we ate at a place called Remesco´s which Jessica thought was very delicious. I thought it was good but plain. We tried going into the bar at the Kabul hostel but were stopped because we weren´t staying there.

We also live on a hooker and junky ridden street, so thats nice. Nothing better than walking buy 50 hookers and 50 heroin addicts everyday. We did find an Irish bar were the beers are two for one from 7 to 8 pm. We also found a heavy metal bar that is two for one also, only theres is from 6 to 10 pm.

Something pretty weird about Barcelona is that it doesn´t get dark until 10. Walking around at 9 pm in Barcelona is like walking around at 5 pm in Los Angeles.

so we left cannes after two weeks and are in barcelona now. our flight was on monday night at 11. wow! getting to barcelona was brutal. first off the last bus to the nice airport left at 7 so we were at the airport at 7:30. we couldnt check in for our flight until 9 so we waited. then when we checked in our bags were over weight so we had to pay 40 euros. then we get up to our gate only to find the flight was delayed by two hours. the airline gave us drink vouchers for the airport snack shop. i drank a lot of wine and fell asleep on a bench. manuel woke me up at 2:30 to board. so we were at that airport for seven hours. all the shops were closed, ours was the last flight of the night so there were only about 150 of us in the whole place. i did get kind of excited because natalie portmen and devandra banheart were in the airport at the same time as us. i thought i would make friends withthem on the flight and they would be my new best friends but they went off to brussels. thats ok because she had made a big mistake in cannes. she was on the jury that awarded benicio the best actor award.

i have to go someone is waiting for the computer but ill be back.

i dont even know where to begin. umm. tonight we got dressed up and went to the red carpet screening of the good the bad and the weird. it was a chinese spaghetti western. very funny, a little long. manuel and i have gotten into 4 red carpet screenings so far. first night was blindness, then 3 monkeys (which i slept all through), che, and then tonights. the weather has been good and bad, but the rain is so light that it doesnt matter much.

i sold my film to a television station. it is a new station that plays shorts 24/7. it airs in america, germany, and france (i think).

manuel and some of the guys on the trip signed up for a filmmaking competition. they had 24 hours to make a dark comedy called big hair. the screening and award cermony was at a very beautiful villa. the guys ended up winning the audience choice award.
