I saw a colibree.
It is quite an emotion to see such a bird, acting as an insect and with similar dimension, too.
He was going from flower to flower agitating the wings frenetically.
On the street and hanging from several cars I also saw some Brasilian flags.
I am not sure if the point was celebrating the football team victory over Argentina or the arrival of the Brazilian peacekeepers. Just in case
The first impression is not bad.
The atmosphere is quiet enough, peolpe are friendly or indifferent, I did not noticed any puppets around.
The place is scenic, the city going from the sea to the mountains. It’s quite hot, but with a refreshing wind.
We were staying at an old hotel (today we moved), plenty of ancient photos, a bit forgotten but with nice paintings on the walls.
Not many armed people around. Airport procedures calm and simple.
A country of black people speaking French in the middle of America; what are they doing there?
I am at Paris Orly waiting for my flight to Port au Prince.
Haiti has never been my preferred destination, but let’s wait to know something more.
I wear a striped shirt and heavy boots, ready to adventure.
Bye bye
Today, in a small park near the Cibernarium, I have seen two seagulls devouring the remains of a pigeon.
I couldn’t restrain from a sight of satisfaction.
I like nature, I like animals, I loved the dog that was living with us and I regularly visit the almond-tree we planted on her burial place.
But I don’t stand pigeons. I did celebrate the decree of Venezia municipality establishing the decapitation of hundreds of such beasts.
And I always try to dissuade parents, and especially grandparents, to accustom children to give food to those birds. It’s an unhealthy behaviour bringing disorder, filthiness and above all, more pigeons.
Also Barcelona has its own free-paper.
It?s called ?20 minutes? and it?s not bad, quite complete.
They distribute it through little boxes on the street. In my part of Rambla Prim you could find it at the photo shop. But you had to be fast, as gangs of pensioners were waiting for it, in more or less ordered way, and every edition run out almost immediately.
All this was happening until the Forum 2004 opened. At present, an El Pais promotion distributes free copy of the tabloid to the visitors. The flocks of pensioners now migrate daily to the forum?s entrance to get their fresh newspaper.
And we join the cue.
We knew that a Hollywoodian version of Iliade assured disappointment.
But reducing a history of years to a week end on the beach is too much.
Where is the gods? influence that decides and determines everything? And what about Cassandra, the most cinematographic character of the myth? And those faces, coming from Braveheart, the Lord of Rings and Mc Donald, what have they to do with the ancient Greeks and their enemies?
Please, don’t go.
Dear friends, google’s surprises have not an end.
Did you know the service Google news?
I didn’t.
It’s as fast and effective as the general search, also if not all sources are present (I assume the main private media doesn’t like to be ‘utilised’ by others).
However, you can find in one second a lot of fresh news about the issue you are interested in. And you can choose among several different languages.
Furthermore, you can ask to receive updated information on that specific subject, once per day or more frequently.
This is a turning point: definitely I am a googlist.
Riferimenti: Here it is
There are several features which bring together me and Homer. His wife’s name is Marge, their dog is probably a greyhound, and above all we have a similar attitude towards life.
He is lazy, and on my business card I mentioned idler as specialization.
He does not contribute much to house cleaning; my task at home is wash dishing….within a 48 hours deadline.
He doesn.t bother with his personal care. I do not own a comb from the age of 14.
Of course, I have not is thoughtlessness (despreocupación in castellano, very interesting word) and his heavy levity, but I am working on it.
Elsa Pataki is said to be the sexiest woman in Spain.
In a recent interview in the Catalan TV, she said that her web site counts every day more than 40.000 visits.
This reminded me of some Italian weekly magazine, which declared that their circulation doubled when a beautiful and undressed girl was on the cover page.
As a test, I gave a showy title to this blog note and attached a photo of Elsa, in order to check how many people will read this note (so far, maximum 20).
Wait and see.
How many of your friends do you see every week (or every day)? And how would you call persons whose life occurrences you comment regularly with other people? Today’s serial champions enter every home and are subject of gossip, sharing, sorrow, especially when they disappear. Is not this friendship? Someone could object that this relationship is not a reciprocal one. But what about falling in love for someone who does not care at all? Certainly, there is not possibility of physical interaction or at least eye contact. But, what about e-mail relations? Previously, one might identify with the adventures of the characters of literature, the precursors of these fiction pals. Who did not cry for Nemececk? But now you can see the people and follow their growing up, aging, sometimes dying (really, not according to the script).
It is a new era. Better the old one?
