House of Ming, the oldest chinese in Madrid…

Reflections…
| The only scenes I can stand in any of the Star Wars films are the quiet scenes in the second one, The Empire Strikes Back. Or rather, it used to be the second one, before the fourth one became the first one, thus making the second one the fifth one. A couple of years ago Tom used to watch his Star Wars videos over and over again, in sequence, and at first I preferred The Empire Strikes Back simply because it offered some respite from all the roaring and banging and whizzing. But later I came to appreciate its … I don’t know what you’d call it. Message? Moral? Do Star Wars films have messages? Anyway, something in it began to chime somewhere in me, and I wanted to be Luke Skywalker, off somewhere on my own, learning to be a Jedi. I wanted a break from the war. I wanted someone wise to teach me how to do the things I needed to know to survive the rest of my life.

A post from Javi
| Toma chavá, pa q lo pongas en la wé junto con esas frases tan chulas q t sacas d la manga, Javi If the reproduction of music would be purely an end in itself, then I would delete the word emotion from my vocabulary. As in no other medium, music is able to convey happiness, joy or sadness – as individially and different as the spectrum of music in a perceptible way. [Joachim Gerhard, Audio Physic]

House warming
| A few months ago we had a house warming party at the new flat. Though many friends were not in Madrid and couldn’t come, it became after all a big success, as the flat was full of pleople. I wasn’t expecting the presence of Tito The Conqueror who, by the way, is now a full-fledged Doctor (how scary!). I was lucky that some of my colleagues from work also decided to come.
It’s a pity I don’t live there any more |

Join the video generation
| I’m surrounded by mobile phones all day long at my work. Some weeks I have to carry with me more than 5 handsets. Almost sure I won’t run out of battery, but it’s kind of confusing to be reachable at so many different numbers.
On my recent trip to England I pleasantly discovered that the third generation network has been already deployed there and is commercially available. You can find advertising stands even in pharmacies. The new operator is called 3, and apparently it’s also available in a number of other European countries, including Sweden. I am looking forward to tuning a TV channel on my mobile |

Some nice music
| Hedningarna is one of the most important bands playing nordic new-folk. I have enjoyed every single decibel at their live concert in a nightclub in Madrid, where they presented their last album. Many of the instruments they use for their music are made by themselves. Instruments made of wood that sound like synthesizers. Unbelievable.
Talking about Swedish artists, I would also like to recommend you a new website dedicated to Tuva Novotny (greatly maintained by Alexander). |

Summer Wedding
| This post is to congratulate Mieko and Matt, who got married this summer. I really wanted to take my invitation to the ceremony, but I couldn’t find enough budget to escape to California and enjoy the unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean from La Venta Inn, the place where the wedding took place.
Once again, many congratulations! |
