Current music: Darling One, by Susanna Hoffs.

As you can see, I've changed my template. I love the Kill Bill one but I was getting bored of it. This one is amazing, isn't it? I still have to make some changes. I know someone was eagerly waiting to see my blog's new look... Do you like it? :P

My weekend was a little boring. Just like any other weekend, actually. On Friday I went to Aula, which is a huge student fair where every university/school/academy has stands to tell students what can they do after finishing school. I had a great time. I was especially interested in knowing about studying English abroad. I'm always very shy when it comes to speak English, so you can imagine how I felt when I knew I had to speak English to complete strangers whose first language was English because they didn't know a word in Spanish. It was a little embarrasing at the beginning, but it was great to see they were able to understand me. ^_^ I especially liked this girl in her mid-20's from the Aberdeen University stand. She was lovely, and had a really cool accent. She said that if I go there I'd have a great time because in a students' residence "you make new friends, go out, have parties... You know..." and put a funny face. I thought she was so nice that I wanted to kiss her. lol. But there was another guy from some English university [sorry, can't remember the name of the town] that was rather annoying. He was one of those who puts a "z" in every word, so he told me things like "we have courzez to ztudy languagez like Japaneze, Frenchz and of courze Englizh". It was so hard to remain serious hearing that. lol. On Saturday I went to Madrid Rock because my cousin wanted me to buy a DVD I told her about. I couldn't find the movie, so this time there was no random conversation with the cashier I fancy. =( Anyway, I'm coming back in a couple of days. lol. At night I felt frustrated. Internet didn't work. I called my Internet provider but there was a recorded message saying they were having a "network deficiency" and were working on fixing it. So I watched Donnie Darko with my brother and his girlfriend. I was surprised they liked it, because they usually hate the movies I recommend them because they are too "weird" for their taste. Donnie Darko is indeed different but fascinating. Plus Jake Gyllenhaal is in it so it's what I call a perfect film. lol.

I never download full albums from the net, but last night [Internet came back around 1 am] I saw on eMule Susanna Hoffs' unreleased album, and I thought it was worth to steal. lol. It's an album she recorded in 1994, three years after her solo debut, When You're A Boy, a Top 40-sounding album she wasn't happy about. She wanted to make a folk-ish, rockier sound. So she did it this way in her second album. Once she finished it, Columbia told her she had to re-record it. She didn't agree, so she was dropped. I can't believe they didn't allow her to release this wonderful album. I listened to it several times today. In fact, I'm still listening it. It reminds me why I love Sue and the Bangles. I know it's something very lame to say, but I wanted to say thank you, Susanna, for making such great music. To Columbia: FUCK OFF.

My blog isn't the only one with a new look. I'll do something with my hair in a couple of days. I'll dye my hair black again... with a twist. Stay tuned. :P

I saw you waiting there for the music to come back,

Santi
