| Salamanca is one of the Castilian cities with the best collection of bars, cafes and restaurants. Its enormous student population has lowered the prices to a point where you can get a caña and a huge tapa for less than a euro. The architecture in the old city is awesome. You can consider yourself very lucky if you find the frog in the facade of the Universidad Civil, and the astronaut in one of the entrances of the Cathedral. After the third time I’ve been in Salamanca I can’t stop admiring it’s lively atmosphere and incredible historical buildings.
On another front, I just found these old photos of some ceremony we had months ago… with Juan, Alvaro and me talking about business. |

| 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.

| 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]

| 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 |
