I've walked Las Ramblas, but not with real intent
Sometimes I have to take a step back and think about the situation I'm in, as if from the outside looking in. Tonight, I was an American dressed in traditional Indian clothes, with a belly full of Lebanese food, singing along with a Welsh band on the TV. Slightly ridiculous.

The hotel's 24-hour restaurant is having a Lebanese food festival for two weeks. The food is super freaking good. I have no idea how authentic it is... I was here for their Mexican food festival, and I would say it was inspired by Mexico at best. Anyway, I had some shrimp, pita bread, and rice for dinner. Yummy.

Channel [V], which is one of the music channels on TV here, has a show called "The Rock Show" every night. One night a week, they profile a rock artist. Tonight, it was Manic Street Preachers. Yay! I saw 30 minutes of videos, including a really annoying mix video of "Tsunami." By the way, what is it about Nicky Wire? He's not particularly attractive, but I do find him alluring. Maybe it's the makeup, dresses, and feather boas. He can hoover my house anytime!

And in totally unrelated news, Britney Spears was apparently totally kissing Jordan Catalano at some LA nightclub. Oh my God, Angela! (via Gawker)
