LOL or "TO BE IN LOL"

I know this abbreviation means "laugh out loud" or "lots of laughs". But actually I mean Love Old Love again... I know when this thing happens because is so rare as a gem. And now I am singing with The Jayhawks:




I'm in love with the girl that I'm talking about
I'm in love with the girl that I can't live without
I'm in love but I sure picked a bad time to be in love, to be in love.
let her be somebody else's queen
I don't want to hear about it
there's too many others who know what I mean
and that's why I got to live without it.

However, she is looking at me from my screen saver all the time. She is beautiful, inside and outside. I can see the twinkle in her eyes. I am in Lol with you, Girl.

TRAVELS WITH VARASEK

That train went on to Uzbekistan and I was not there. But I knew our shadows were like DNA chains. Life is a journey and we would be together again along the road. However, I have forgotten this truth so many times during the last years...

Fortunately, last San Juan's night, Varasek said to me I was a rusted boat. And I said:

"You're right. Friendship is an alarm-clock".

Nasdarovié, mariscal!!!

UK MAP

I have an UK map on my wall.
One morning I woke up with a huge hangover and fixed my eyes on it. Then I saw a lot of animals... Below, a rat. Over the rat, a pig, and over the pig a dog (or maybe a witch with a Robin Hood hat on) looking fiercely at the Ulster. And the Ulster seems a dog too.

Jó, ¡qué noche!

After-hours, by Martin Scorsese, is one of my favourite films. The title was translated to Spanish as Jó, ¡qué noche! I hate this expression. It is too much posh... But the film was released in 1985. Then, the expression After-hours was unusual... If the film had come out in our days, I am pretty sure the title wouldn't have changed. You know... Spaniards are very fond of nightlife and, since the mid-nineties, very fond of afterhour too, as we know this period which starts at six o'clok in the morning.
Anyway, I prefer the working title of the film: A Night in Soho.

One more thing. Don't miss out Shine a Light. Scorsese + Rolling Stones.

INGLES DE VALLECAS

A couple of weeks ago I visited my mother's house, as I do once a week, on saturdays to be strictly accurate. After having lunch, I usually take a stroll with my sister Pilar and her daughter, my cute little niece, and as long as the Wild Carmela, as she likes calling herself, goes on the swings, my sister and I talk away for hours. Last saturday, I boasted about my high level of English. However, when I started singing Because the Night, by Patti Smith, my sister said categorically: "Ok, high level, but this is inglés de Vallecas".

If you don't know what I mean, please, hear the song Aquarius (Raphael's cover, of course), and you will know why...

LOST IN TRANSLATION

This morning I have been to the hospital with my friend Raquel. While waiting for the results -fortunately, she is OK: 18 out of 30-, I have come across a fun sign above the toilets: "Ass Cab". Some vandal taxi-hater had removed several letters from the Spanish original: "Aseos Caballeros".
