    the new snow patrol video reminds me of this one.

    love when people are willing to make a glorious fool of themselves and laugh at it all. not talking about the dancing or the acting.

    enjoy

    so yesterday i went to metropolis studios in london to hear the mastered record. it is done finally and (if you don’t mind me blowing my own trumpet for a second) it is great. fallen empires is finished and we move now into live mode. rehearsals have started and there will be details of some…

    great news! how great would it be if they played while i am in london! sept 4th (well, oxford, but is near enough, til the 9th-) to sept 16th. ;) seems that whenever i leave my country, snow patrol plays where i go. 3 years in a row now. and i was disappointed i was not going to BsAs because i was going to be at the other end of the world.

    it really would be lovely.

     
  5. making the boring… extraordinary! and holy cow i love this song!

    i am feeling so happy now because i finished the most boring assignment

    and because i am off this weekend to San Pedro de Atacama which is astonishing!

    enjoy!

    the real vulnerability list

    what worries me:

    -that the egg boxes centre stays only in my dreams

    -if i write this thing that i started 2 years ago, it will be great. success scares me more than failure

    -if i work really hard in my stuff it will make me more busy

    -if i get busier, i won’t have time for my life

    -that the space in my life that i keep saving for later may not get filled with what i want, or may not be filled at all

    -all that i have learnt and love may not be shared

    -my younger brother got married and now is having a baby. he has always lived his life by the book (university, work 2 years, marriage, home, got his own business, babies, etc). i wanted to life my life in a different way.

    -i realized that i want the same things as my brother, but maybe it is too late

    -i chose to follow my intuition and not the rules, and keep my options open and leave if i want to

    -i might have been wrong 

    -i am going to San Pedro de Atacama next weekend and i have to find someone to take care of my dogs…ja. not that free anymore

    -i am going to europe in september and october and have to find someone to take care of my dogs and my house. i can’t just leave now and forget about the world.

    -i wanted to work less this couple of months, and find myself having 3 jobs that take up all my time, just because i was more available. ironic.

    -my home is a mess and i collect cooking books to try recipes, but have no time to cook or go out with friends and i waste so much food that breaks my heart

    -i have become so good at hiding my feelings and fears that i am scared that when the time comes, i won’t be able to show them. 

    -that i was not dealt the cards for loving someone and be loved back, and letting myself be vulnerable and loved. or i have the cards but have played them all wrong

    yes, it is tantrum time… again.

    the vulnerability list

    this is a lot like the “reasons why i think i am uncool, and i stopped caring about it” list. 

    1.- i am a terrible liar, so i stopped trying. 

    2.- i like wine because i think it tastes great and i wish that it didn’t make me drunk if i enjoy a lot of it. and though i was trained as a sommelier (what a fancy name) i think there is a thin red line between knowing a bit about wine and stopping enjoying it because you want to show off and say it smells/tastes like a scandinavian forest after a summer rain. it may remind you of it, cool, but it is still a glass of delicious wine. my humble opinion, so what.

    3.- i hate doing the dishes. maybe it is a rebel without a cause thing, against chauvinism, who cares, i just don’t like it.

    4.- i am a romantic inlove with love, call me naïve. i may as well be.

    5.- i don’t get why people want more money than they can spend, specially when they already have soooo much.

    6.- i don’t have a TV. for some reason this is completely strange. it is not some fundamentalist practice, just it has not been in the top of my list of priorities yet.

    7.- i love my 2 dogs

    8.- i have lived for more than 2 months in at least 5 countries and speak 3 languages, and that is so uncool in the eyes of some people. i feel lucky.

    9.- i love being at the bottom of the hierarchy of medical specialties.

    10.- i care for a lot of things that have difficult solutions and i tend to be the advocate for lost causes. i am at peace with that now.

    i am sure there is way more than 10 things, i will try to keep this updated, but item 11 is that i struggle with being accountable. ja. 

    love and uncoolness for all the ones that enjoy it. smile!

     
  9. 3000 chilean students danced Thriller in front of the House of Government (aka “La Moneda” means “the coin” oh dear) to ask for better and less expensive secondary education. they don’t want to die paying for their education. and they were awesome! please see other videos of it, this is not the best…

    check out the dogs in the video. that is a sad reality too, abandoned dogs. both my dogs were rescued from the streets. a friend rescued a sick dog and a week later she had 8 puppies. one of them is my edna. 2 weeks ago, while walking edna in the park, she found a 3-4 months old puppy in the bushes, soaking wet and shivering. it was raining and freezing cold. i didn’t have a heart to leave him there, and now he is my bonus.

     
  10. the storm is over

    2 weeks after i got fired, 4 days after organising finals for my students, i am finally off “survival” mode. that way of going through the day doing what has to be done, almost in auto-pilot, with no time or energy to even think about anything else. it is also a bit “self-preservation” mode.

    but now it is over, and all the things that kind of, mysteriously worked out, well, now it is payback time. everything is misbehaving and being extra difficult.

    locked myself out of chez moi twice.

    hit my head quite hard against a wall, while checking if the new plug in my bath tub was working. yay it works and wham! black eye, very painful, and feeling incredibly stupid.

    5 members of my family suffering from the evil flu, and who has to go and check them up. me (i am happy to  do this, but seriously, they should all move to one place, or closer, because from one to the next it takes me like an hour)

    dog broke my bedroom’s window while playing with her favourite branch (good thing she didn’t chop off a leg or something, she was fine)

    hit the oven door and broke it. didn’t have time to clean the entryway and city council gave me a warning.

    i’ll stop now, because it is getting ridiculous, but since i kind of new it would happen (it usually does) i am not impressed. i just think it is so creative of whoever is doing this, to come up with all these new minor annoyances that can drive you mad, and can only laugh at it.

    and allow myself to be sad because i miss my friends and my patients from my former job, and to be incredibly grumpy because… i just feel that way. dammit. my eye is black, and my window is broken and it is really cold outside and my, and the, and it is, and because, and and and. argh, the storm is not over. dammit again.
