Logocentric (adj).Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics).
Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, many taken from the following places:
I live alone. I enjoyed sharing a place with Pannya in Thailand and would rather share a place than living alone. It's hard for me to go out and eat with someone though. I really like meeting new people and am frugal to a fault.
I watch movies et cetera at home on youtube. I'd love to have someone to share with but no one here IRL or online at WDC wants any interaction. I cope through the kindness of strangers.
I am alone now and I like it! The kast few years have been filled with stress family issues and financial issues. I now live in an RV on my brother's property and I love it. It is peaceful calm and quiet! If i want company I walk next door to visit my sister in law who was my best friend and then she married my brother! I dont go to movies much cause there isn't much on that i care to see. It's all about where you are comfortable.
Our Monday night five-man bowling team used to go to Trivia Night at our local bar every Wednesday night. Like you, Jeff, I know a little about many topics and do alright. But we had one guy who was a sport's fanatic--any sport, any team. I can't recall Tom getting any sport's question wrong in a year and half of playing. What fun times those were.
I think I would do okay with relatively mainstream movies, and should score well in geography (thank you, "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"!). Of course, there will be unexpected gaps even in those categories, so...
My heart is still in Kansas. Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin might suit me fine. I really want to visit Kentucky. If I had six months to spare I could learn a lot in Utah or Alabama.
There are places in UK and Canada that may work for me. I don't mind having to speak another language. Portugal is my #1. I could live in Lillehammer, Norway or Göteborg, Sweden.
Further afield... I want to go back to: Nara, Japan; Novi Pazar, Serbia; Sofia, Bulgaria; Roi Et, Thailand; ChiaYi, Taiwan, Ciudad Quesada (San Carlos) and Turrialba, Costa Rica.
Places I haven't been: Senegal, Rwanda, Malawi, Kenya, Fiji, the Stans of Central Asia...
I can tolerate discomfort but would prefer a place where I don't have to fight for my right to exist (I've earned it). That's for younger people. I prefer diverse places where I'm just another odd duck to be cherished or ignored. I'd rather be somewhere without nobility and serfs. Inequity fosters instability. I want to be included and not shunned (for whatever reason). tolerance is a virtue imho.
Sounds hectic, but fun. The horseback riding was a hit, it seems. I'm glad you've been enjoying your time there. To me the food sounds exotic, and I'd probably eat burgers and fries along with the kiddos.
I've been to Brasilito and Playa Conchal. My review of Conchal? Lovely but noisy and dangerous due to jet skies. I went there by bus but didn't stay at the resort... as you noted: very expensive.
I don't ride horses but I know someone who lives in Manuel Antonio who loves riding her horse down the beach.
I have had roblado (sea bass?) and had ceviche. I usually stick to gallo pinto and casado in the highlands. The resorts cater to tourists.
Glad to read that you walked. I don't think I ever rode in a car in Guanacaste.
My schedule doesn't leave much room for library visit, but I have gone to community meetings in them (discussing road projects and what not). With living in a good sized metro area, the main library downtown has extensive magazine archives I've actually perused to try and track down a piece from The Economist. I couldn't find the article I remembered but found some otherwise worthwhile reads during my archive expedition.
