mozparty2

Firefox, formerly known as Firebird, formerly known as Phoenix, is a fantastic web browser that runs faster and more securely than Internet Explorer. The Firefox community is growing very rapidly and is targeting a user share of 10% by 2005 Q1.

If you’ve been stuck with Internet Explorer for a long while you should give it a try as it offers many useful features.

I’m now looking forward to the mozparty2.

Mind the swedes

Mysig traditionell svensk cider, svensk sport och svensk salong… If you live in London and fancy some Swedish atmosphere you should drop by The Harcourt Arms.

Speaking about Sweden, I’ll probably be headed to Klippan in my next trip!

Flamenco fusion

It’s not very common to listen to Spanish music on the radio here in London. Maybe that’s why my interest for styles such as Flamenco has only become more intense since I moved to the UK. Last weekend a friend introduced me to Melendi, which is becoming more and more popular in the Iberian Peninsula. And it’s certainly inspiring music which I now play whenever I feel melancholy for Madrid or I need to pump up my morale…

A nice song must always have a lovely name,
I usually name it after the woman who inspired it
and -oh!- you feel that life is different
and her look is as passionate
as burning wood,
salt on a wound,
four consecutive rows
or our wedding under the sun;
and I don’t know anymore if it’s by nature
or because of how much my mother fought for me,
but there are no longer birds around my head
or castles or princesses
or that allergy to strawberries
or memories of you.

From my window flowers are nicer
you’re my Cinderella and stars are coloured
and from my window flamenco singers still cry
since that sad afternoon when art died with Lola Flores.

A nice song must always have a lovely end,
it can be happy or so sad that it makes us cry,
as cries that angel in the clink -oh!- who is serving a sentence
for clapping when the wind dances under your skirt
the jealousies and loves of he who lives and dies by the sword,
and a king said that money doesn’t bring happiness,
and I say that it’s such a similar feeling
that however much I try it,
no matter it’s sunny or windy,
no matter I’m crying or happy,
I can’t distinguish.

From my window flowers are nicer
you’re my Cinderella and stars are coloured
and from my window flamenco singers still cry
since that sad afternoon when art died with Lola Flores.

And they say and they say round there -oh!- that the roses are red
-oh!- that love isn’t buyable and your body is for me.

From my window flowers are nicer
you’re my Cinderella and stars are coloured
and from my window flamenco singers still cry
since that sad afternoon when art died with Lola Flores.

From my window flowers are nicer

Lost all data!

My hard drive exploded a couple of days ago and so I’ve lost my address book, including many other things.

Now the question is: how to get in touch with people whose only contact data I had was their email? I hope this web is a good means of getting back to you…

So, please, if you feel I used to have your email address, could you send it to me again? Many thanks!
