And time to start something new. See, I recently finished a bit of a thesis on late Roman Spain, and I've entered the post-project funk of having nothing important to do (or just not wanting to do the important things that I should now be doing). In any case, I've returned to the laptop to move on with a new project, much shorter in duration (I hope!), focusing mainly on the pottery from somewhere in Spain. Pretty fascinating stuff, if you're interested in this sort of thing, which I am.
My foot hasn't bothered me at all lately, so I'm thinking about developing a new injury elsewhere, perhaps something wii related. Soccer thrice a week in this 90 degree weather isn't going to make my old kelme duende amancios (size 9.5) very happy - they turned 4 this past April - so if anyone finds a lead on some new ones, please to pass along that information. By the way, they stopped making these cleats.
I've recently received a new espresso machine, much happier than the krups xp2070, whose pump seems to have lost a good deal of power and eventually gave me nothing but weak coffees. The new machine (new to me, anyway), was given by a pair of amazing friends from Mexas, and the machine works beautifully. I'm refining my grind settings and tamping procedure to accommodate the new 58mm brewbasket, and as long as I can keep the calcification down in the boiler, it seems like I'll enjoy this new machine for years to come. Of course, I won't object if someone decides to mail me a commercial machine along with those replacement cleats.
Well, since I'm working again, this blog is wasting valuable Spanish emailing time, so I'll get back to that. If you'd like to know more about my soccer cleats, feel free to post something in the comments section. Happy summers!
