In the alternate timeline, I’d be starting the Camino da Geira tomorrow. Now I’ll be starting a few days on the Camino de Levante a week from tomorrow before heading up to Zaragoza to start the Camino de Ebro.

Camino Interrupted
So I was sitting in the drive thru at a restaurant outside O'Hare with a flight 2.5 hours away, hitting refresh on my phone with the news of València. A horrible storm (anticiclón) was forecast, schools and even supermarkets were closing out of precaution...and as I had a bad feeling, I quickly changed the flight to postpone my Camino. Which meant all the plans I had spent the entire year making went up in smoke.

Postponing the Camino a week and a half means I got to visit my fave coffee place on the opening day of their new location last week, and also that I get to read the latest Stephen King I have had on hold for six months (200 pages no Holly!)

Finished Sirens. It was decent, but Meghann Fahy still irks me...she's like Temu Gillian Jacobs...(Britta!) Pain tonight :( Last minute touches on the new Camino plan...flight on Sunday, wondering if I should just cancel because pain everywhere all the time *sigh*

This week's Wednesday Foreign Flick was a rewatch of 2010's Las chicas de la sexta planta. A French landlord finds himself befriending a group of exiled Spanish women, including Carmen Maura, in the 1950s. I enjoyed it and would watch it a third time.

Eight km hike at Kickapoo this morning to get ready for the Camino. A deer greeted me at the entrance, and I saw a hawk, turtle, blue jay, woodpecker and heard a ton more. Less pain walking than doing nothing at home so there’s that 🤷🏻 Beautiful fall morning though. #Outdoors #Naturaleza

We started Over Your Dead Body tonight for Samara Weaving (though not exactly a spooky movie)...and again, Jason Segel would be better off being portrayed by Fozzie instead.

Finally checking out Adults, and it feels like Gen Z Temu Happy Endings/Friends. Gen X may have the most classic version (Friends), but Millennials (Happy Endings) did it best, and I don't think I'm going to continue with Adults past episode 3...

Started some spooky season movies with Final Destination 3. Ugh, animal death :( It sorta felt like someone gave AI the prompt: "Final Destination movie set in mid 2000s" than an actual Final Destination movie. Bland actors with meh script/direction. Who knows when we'll get to the fourth one!

The bird of the day theme today is wings open, not flying with an alt theme of blue. The great blue heron qualifies for both, but this juvenile cardinal wanted to show off too. I’ve been waiting to be able to use these! #Birds #BirdOfTheDay #WingsOpenNotFlying #Blue

So I think to avoid exorbitantly high transport prices, I'm most likely going to stick to the Camino de Levante, starting in Xàtiva, where I left it in 2017, maybe walk to Almansa or Albacete, and then either AVE to Burgos or Donostia and do some variants of the Camino Vasco maybe Viejo...

Second episode of The Lost Room was pretty good, even if I was very distracted during parts of it and falling asleep (not show's fault) during others. I also watched Deadly Cuts earlier, and I think I liked it, but ADHD was pretty bad so it went in one ear and out the other :-/

May finally have the Camino sorted, going to have to cancel and make different reservations. Just more public transport than I like (being the only one wearing a mask and having to take more masks and my air filter is the main issue here...)

Pablo @setmeravelles.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
We started The Lost Room (rewatch for El Chico, first watch for me), which I feel had to have inspired Dark Matter somewhat. The second episode apparently aired on my 25th birthday.

I feel like a complete failure and waste. I spent most of the year planning and replanning this Camino for nothing. Now none of the options are coming together and I might as well just cancel the entire thing.

Pablo @setmeravelles.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
October to-do list. It’s a little on the light side for me as I’m still hoping a Camino works out. Also should be receiving the hold on the new Stephen King, which is probably about Holly Gibney’s poopy adventures in The Territories. #BookSky

Looks like it'll be the Camino Castellano Aragonés due to being the easiest to get to from València (A couple days on the Ebro from Zaragoza, then take a turn in Gallur toward Borja.) Gotta get the rest of the cancellations and new hotels tomorrow. Not extending the trip any...

This week's Wednesday Foreign Flick (mostly watched on Thursday) was the Italian 2023 Finalmente L'alba, about an aspiring young actress in the 1950s finding out the sordid details of Cinecittà. William DaFoe, Joe Keely, Lily James were in it...worth a watch, especially for the movie within a movie.

Well it’s now an alerta roja for the rains, worse than the naranja, all schools are closed, Consum has closed all their supermercados, so it was the right decision to postpone. It just sucks. And I really hope it isn’t as bad as 2024.

Who you calling vibrant? The alt theme for bird of the day is vibrant, so of course the male cardinal is the bird that came to mind. Such an expert at camouflage! #Birds #BirdOfTheDay #Vibrant

So, will be trying Spain again next Sunday, Oct 11th...preliminary weather looks ok. Will not be doing the Caminho da Geira in Portugal now, most likely the Castellano Aragonés from Zaragoza to Burgos, and then I can get a bus to León and then Oviedo and finish the end of the trip as planned.
