Current music: One Blood, by Terence Jay.

No, I haven't been wildly busy, it's just that my moronic Internet provider took nothing less than ten days [!] to fix my modem, which started acting up a couple of weeks ago until it simply stopped working last week. So I have a few things to tell you about:
- I received 25 [!!!] e-mails. Sadly, only one was worth reading. God bless Andrew. :P

- Last Friday I was shopping around with my cousin Carmen when Dah texted me asking if I wanted to go clubbing. I said yes, even though I was a bit exhausted because of school. We met at midnight and went to a disco called Long Play, which was on Chueca aka the gay quarter of Madrid. God, I haven't had so much fun in a long, long time. We spent the night deciding which boys at the disco would be nice to shag, analyzing the Madonna videos which were shown on two big screens and, of course, dancing like sluts until 6:30. That bootleg mix of Madonna's Hung Up vs. ABBA's Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! [A Man After Midnight] is probably the best dance song ever. But the absolute highlight of the night came around 6 AM. Dah and I had been waiting all night to dance to one of Kylie's songs because, as you should know, every gay disco MUST play songs by Miss Minogue, Madonna, Britney, Geri and Cher, among others. So, they finally played one of her songs, and they picked the best one. No, it wasn't Can't Get You Out of My Head. They chose the Casino Mix of Your Disco Needs You. I'm borrowing this line from The Bangles' Glitter Years: we danced like if we wanted to dance our life away. It was so cool. We pointed at each other enthusiastically with every "needs... YOU" and it was so damn great. ^^

- Speaking of Dah, I saw him again this week. We went to see a Spanish artist called Nika, who became famous after taking part in the second season of our Idol contest, and even though I hate that show I really like her music. She was doing a free concert at Hard Rock Cafe. The concert itself was great [despiting some sound problems] but the best part of it was that I got to meet and talk to her. When she was signing my copy of her debut album I told her I liked the cover of Sheryl Crow's Anything But Down she had performed before, and she asked me if I knew the original song and I said "yes, The Globe Sessions is my favorite album from her" and she said "yeah, her 90's albums are better than the new ones, which are kinda bland" and then I said "yeah, she's in love after all". lol. She also performed a cover of The Cardigans' For What It's Worth, and I asked her if she knew that Nina Persson [the lead singer of The Cardigans] released a solo album in 2002 and she said "yeah, A Camp. It's very good". I was really happy to know somebody actually knows that album exists. lol. Press always says Nika is rude and dull, but she was very likeable and down to earth. She signed my album and also an autograph for my friend Fran [who's also a huge fan of hers], and was kind enough to record a message for Dah, who owns a fansite about her, and we also got to have our picture taken with her. And well, you've already read about our conversation about music. We also talked to her mom, who's like the nicest person I've ever met. :P After that, I went with Dah and his friend Inaki for a quick drink. Dah likes Inaki but he's like OBLIVIOUS about it. I had met him a couple of weeks before when I went out with Dah and his friends [*see this post*], but this time I actually talked to him. A lot. You know, once I get confident I just can't stop talking. lol.

- I haven't eaten chocolate in nineteen days. My skin's looking so much better.

- Who said Madonna is over? Her latest album debuted at #1 in 25 countries, including USA, UK, Canada, Japan, Germany and Australia, which are the most important music markets, plus Spain and a bunch of others. Her single Hung Up has also found its way into Billboard's Top 10, and has hit #1 in a shitload of countries. And she looks hot on the cover of Rolling Stone. And she's getting rave reviews. And I'm so glad about that. You can't deny she's still the undisputed Queen of Pop.

- Hell, I missed blogging.
