Guacamole Party!

2001? 1998? Em podríeu dir, my dearest choir people, quan fou l'última vegada que (almenys més de quatre persones) ens vam veure els caretos?! (Això mateix, els caretos!) Doncs no cal que furgueu més dins dels vostres cervells, perquè jo us ho diré: Tara-taratta!
— No, és ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
— Tara-taratta.
— Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
— Tara-taratta.
— Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
— Tara-taratta.
— Tara-taratta.
— Veus com no era tan difícil?...
És a dir, que fa sis segles i mig que no ens veiem decentment. Per pal·liar aquesta situació d'escàndol de grau 2 —que de fet els principals rotatius internacionals ja han qualificat d'insòlita, completament aberrant i lila—, un petit comitè format per un petit comitè es reuní fa uns dies i resolgué la necessitat d'organitzar un sopar amb caràcter d'urgència. El presumpte sopar tindria lloc durant el proper cap de setmana, no se sap exactament quan, no se sap exactament on. Però sí que es té alguna intuïció del que seria part del menú, car la presidenta del comitè, Srta. Чернобыль, féu esment i es vanaglorià de saber preparar certa recepta guacamolesca…

Costa de recordar quan ens vam veure per última vegada, però saber quan vam fer l'últim soparet preparat per nosaltres ja és una utopia… Per això em fa molta gràcia i m'omple de joia que fem aquest — com en els vells temps!

M'agradaria que comentéssiu (o sigui, que afegiu un comentari clicant a Comments, sota aquest text) explicant disponibilitat i/o interès pel sopar, per saber quants litres de rom s'han de comprar. Noooo, que és coooonya!... És pels de vodka, de rom com sempre, una caixa… ;-) Un cop sapiguem dia i hora, ja m'encarregaré jo personalment dels flyers… :-) I ja m'encarregaré jo també del tema fotam, que així penjaré una galeria aquí al blog!

Bé, doncs res més. Procureu pronuciar-vos aviat sobre el tema, ok? Petonets i força Guacamole Party!!!

Per cert, el Xu arriba dijous a Barcelona, o sigui que ell segur que vindrà! :-)

Three things, über die ich mich ärgere…

So my last post was all about optimism, contentment, and "how beautiful life is". Good. But —unfortunately— all that glitters is not gold, since this very life is also full of these little annoying facts that, for some reason, are always there for the sole purpose of making our lives a bit less pleasant. (Or a bit more difficult and complicated, depending on how you see the bottle…) So let me dedicate today this post to three things I'm annoyed about, which, though banal, I just feel like writing about…

The other day I was driving back home from the airport, when I found myself stuck in the middle of a sea of cars, in one of the main roads of Barcelona: la Ronda (the Ring Road). In any big city, this would be a normal-ish situation when one or two lanes turn out to be blocked by some road works or maybe an accident. But wait, where was the poor, misfortuned dented car that afternoon? Where were those annoying noisy road works?! Well, there weren't any! Oh actually, thinking about it, isn't it always the same story, back from the airport?! Yes, it is. So listen people of Barcelona's council: I can understand our roads get a bit busier during the rush hour; I can understand the city you run is quite big and hence difficult to manage. But what I (and common sense) can't accept at all is that people spend more than an hour to drive this bit (and have been doing so for ages!), and still the council doesn't do anything to fix the problem! Sometimes, when in such traffic jams, I just feel like arriving home to play this fantastic game that SimCity is, and design the nicest and most beautiful of the cities, where citizens would vote me because they enjoy the comfortable town I created for them and not just because the other parties' proposals stink more than mine…

But there's more to be annoyed about, yeah… what about German ‚Präpositionalverben‘?! Let's admit it: Learning languages can sometimes be a pain, that's an incontestable fact. So my German teacher claims that the way to memorise prepositional verbs —these adorable creatures that also inhabit the already complicated enough kingdom of German grammar— is by learning by heart sentences like „sich entschuldigen bei Dativ für Akkusativ“!... Insane, trust me! It's simply excessive having to learn six words (plus their meaning, of course!) to be able to use properly a single bloody verb!!! Definitely, ich ärgere mich darüber… ;-)

Finally, this is just more of a comment rather than an annoyance, but anyway: How can the weather be so hot already in May?! Is my body going to melt like an ice-cream in August?! If now a T-shirt is too much, what am I supposed to wear later on, apart from my skin?! :-( The problem about this is there's no-one to blame it on, but Mother Nature… :-S

Ok, it's almost lunch time so I'll better stop writing now! But my trip to Kiel, soon in this blog… :-)
