Ladies and gentlemen, due to my lack of will power to write (not that I have anything interesting to say anyway, as all I've been doing these days was working and studying...and watching a Herzog documentary, My best fiend, on Herzog tormentous relationship with actor Klaus Kinski...how creepy funny! I mean, it was hilarious as an espectator, but I wouldn't have liked being in Herzog's shoes while shooting with Kinski...he was wacko!), here you have pictures from my Mom's b-day, were you'll be able to appreciate my new haircut!:P
( da pics! )

As soon as I water the plants, it rains. Not that it wasn't a possibility, as it's been raining since yesterday (at last!It's too hot in here, it's high time it cooled down), but I would've felt ridiculously guilty if I hadn't done it, as my Mom loves her plants, and would probably kill me if I let them die. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I'm home alone! Okey, I'm not completely alone, Santiago's still here, but he'll be gone by tomorrow. Yup, just me and my cat until Sunday morning. To even think about the peace and quiet I'll be sorrounded by leaves me so joyful...

Today was a pretty calm day at work, as tourists weren't feeling like visiting anything with the rain (nevertheless, we had 40 visitors- not bad at all!). The highlight of the day was on Monday...did lots of guided tours AND was recorded while doing one! Made me feel awesome!:D

Today's my Mom's b-day, which meant having lunch with her, my grandparents (who came on Thrusday) and Vincenzo (Santiago is in Villa Gesell with his friends right now- comes back tomorrow- so obviously didn't joined us) at one of those "all that you can eat" places...this implies not only ridiculous amounts of food (I had chicken, seafood and salad, among others:P), but also my Mom breaking her diet, which she had started on Monday...FAIL!

Work's great, I've got scheduled 4 afternoon shifts next week and looking forward to it...my second day was pretty laid-back, but on my first day I did 3 guided tours, 2 in English and one in Italian...I still can't believe it myself...you guys, I'm so excited! I wasn't really prepared for the one in Italian, to be honest, but I was sort of forced to do it, as my boss was present when the Italian group came in...gosh, I didn't even know how to say cloysters in Italian! Fortunately I managed to say a couple of things more or less fluently and coherently, or else I would have felt extremely embarrased. Anyway, they thanked me a lot, and even helped me out with the vocabulary! Now I'm more prepared for the next time, yay! Bring it on! Have met only 3 of my co-workers (and they are...8, I think): Iván, the boss' son, rather shy but nice and with a great sense of humor; Helena, a 23-year-old History student, very enthusiastic and so far, my favourite one; and Belén, an apathetic girl of my age who doesn't know what to do with herself and hates the job. Tomorrow I should be working with Daiana, Belén cousin, so will see how it goes. There's so much to tell, but I'm afraid I'll bore you to death...maybe some other time...

Saw a couple of documentaries by Herzog with Sebastian on Wednesday (there's a Herzog special downtown, yay!Will probably go see another of his movies on Thrusday with an ex-classmate), and saw Nine with him yesterday as well...honestly, I was expecting more of the latter, and compared to Chicago, the result is rather poor...but anyway, great excuse to see Daniel Day-Lewis on the silverscreen again!*drools*

(Yesterday I was on the point of posting a really depressing/emo entry on my shitty family situation, which had lead me to a total lack of motivation to write and general apathy, but fortunately I made a last minute decision and deleted it. Long story short, I got mad at my Mom over the trial issue and my Dad got mad at me because I decided not to go on holidays with them, as he scheduled them in the middle of February, the time where I should be studying for my finals.)

Now, on to the bright side of my day: today was my first day at work! As I don't recall describing the job, I'll tell you now (or repeat it, maybe?): I'm doing guided tours at the cloysters of Nuestra Señora del Pilar Church. It's seems to be a pretty laid back job, and it's part time, so it suits me perfectly. Plus, I'll be working at one of Buenos Aires most antique churches, if not the most antique...how exciting is that?? I've already met 2 of my co-workers and they seem to be really nice people who are into what they're doing, and worn "the uniform" (light blue polo shirt with a name tag, lol) so it's official^^.

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."

1. I'd love to be a polyglot in order to be able to speak with people from all over the globe in their mother tongues. Learning new languages is exciting!

2. I get carried away very easily, that's why I don't take much pocket money with me when I go out. If I weren't so strict with myself, I'd be a shopaholic^^'

3. I believe in love at first sight. In fact, I've never been with a guy were love at first sight wasn't involved- if I don't feel the chemistry right away, then he's not for me. I've always worked this way.

4. I had a hard time figuring out my major during highschool- nothing fully convinced me. However, now that I'm studying to become a curator/art historician, I can't picture myself doing anything else. How did I come across the answer? I asked to myself "Where do I want to work?" and the solution came to my mind instantly: in a museum.

5. I'm terribly absent-minded, which has lead to being pickpocketed more than once in the underground. On the other hand, I find money in places I don't recall leaving it, so maybe it has its positive side? I mean, things like that are pleasent surprises for sure, lol:P

6. I would die if I were obliged to wear black clothes all the time! For me, the brighter, the better. Moreover, I'm prone to wear the seven colours of the rainbow altogether in the same outfit:P

7. I consider myself a child at heart because of my happy-go-lucky attitude. Sometimes that makes me too naïve and vulnerable, but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world^^. I also state this about myself because I love cartoons and child movies- I watch SpongeBob SquarePants with my little sister Vicky whenever I can, and I love taking her to the movies because that way I have an excuse to get to see certain films that are aimed to kids:P In fact, I think I enjoyed The Princess and the Frog more than she did!

Job news: if nothing weird happens first, I'm having the interview on Wednesday morning! At last!

Today Alfie got his bandage removed, so now it's just a matter of days/weeks until his leg regains the strengh it has lost and he gets better. He still looks appalling, as the bandage was so tight it caused him an ulcer, and in addition, he got his hair cut VERY short and that reveals he's only skin and bones (a situation which was aggravated during these bandage weeks, because he either refused to eat or eat very little); but anyways, I'm glad that he's finally cheerful again- the loss of the bandage changed his mood immediately in a very positive way^^

First of all, job news: talked to the woman in charge of the phone interview. Told me she was too busy this week to see me, so we agreed that I should call her next Monday (??). Maybe it's for the best, as I was getting too anxious today and could have sabotaged myself completely. The anxiety trigger was the stupidest thing that could ever happen to me: I was ironing my interview shirt when I realised the iron had left a stain on it! Stupid steam iron!

Anyway, even though I didn't have the job interview, I had an amazing day: had lunch with my Dad, Santi, Vicky and Gladys, went to Dot-the latest shopping mall in the city- for the first time, saw The Princess and the Frog with Vicky (what a lovable movie! It's a must-see!) and then crossed the line into to the dark side...and had a mocha frappucino at Starbucks. It was good, though that doesn't mean I've become a fan or sth like that:P I just did it this one time because Gladys loves Starbucks and the place was empty^^'

And now I'm waiting for Sebastian to pick me up, 'cause today is our annimonthary (a year and 10 months!), and to celebrate it we're having dinner at a Polish restaurant^___^

I don't wanna jinx it, so I won't tell you much, but there's a possibility of me getting a job! Which is unbelievable considering that even if one of my year resolutions was to find one, I hadn't started the job hunt yet! I love out of the blue offers! This would be my first real job (as selling Avon products via catalogue doesn't count for me...oh, btw, I quit that...another one of my year resolutions was that I didn't wanna continue with it on this new year) and it would be related with my mayor, so I'm super excited about it. I just finished pimpin' up my resume (with a little help of my Dad...he's the master in this issue), yesterday got my hair cut (I really needed it, it was all messy and shapeless, but now it's SO short! I kinda miss my hair, but at least this way there's no chance I come up as a sloppy person) and tomorrow I'll be doing some shoe shopping (if I ever find a pair of shoes that fit me!), as I only have one pair of sandals and the rest of my footwear is just too informal^^'. I've got a phone call interview on Tuesday, so keep your fingers crossed for me until then!

It may be a little bit late, but anyway, here they are, a selection of New Year's Eve/New Year's Day pictures!
( yay pictures! )
So that's all, folks. Real update with (I hope) great news coming soon!

Finally, I met up with Flor on Tuesday. Moreover, I met up with Flor AND Agus, whom I haven't seen since Flor's birthday (back in...late August! Shame on me!^^'). Talked about movies (as fortunately- or not?- we can't talk shop: Flor studies Biochemistry, Agus Biology and I'm the freak who chose Art History:P), eat Xmas snacks (i.e. turrón,peanuts and raisins covered with chocolate) and watched Big Lebowski. Epic win! I still find weird that Jeff Bridges accepted the role of "The Dude", which is pretty understandable if you take into account that I've seen The mirror has two faces like a billion times (blame it to my VH1 addiction^^') and Big Lebowski was released only 2 years after this one...what a change! Weird, but in a good way anyway:P After that, we amused ourselves with silly videos on youtube (if you're bored, I recommend you looking for "funny talking animals- bbc walk on the wild side"- I guarantee you tons of ridiculousness!) and that was it. Tuesday was also a movie day because before going to Flor's I actually watched 2 more movies- Milk and Chéri. First one was very good, but a bit too lenghty for me, and the second one was just a nice movie to get amused by the sight of wonderful dresses (it's set in France, during the Belle Époque!) and wonderful Rupert Friend, my brand new celebrity crush*-*.

Yesterday I woke up almost at noon (my biological clock is out of order, lol), had lunch with Gladys and Vicky at a Chinese spot inside Paseo Alcorta (a shopping mall) and then accompanied them to the Warhol exposition, which happened to be their first time at MALBA as well; so I improvised for them a little guided tour through the permanent collection of the museum too. I'm glad Vicky had such a great time and that Gladys is finally making an effort to educate her child by planning small days trips to Buenos Aires- Pilar's just not stimulating culturally speaking, and it would be a pity if Vicky grew up and turned into a bimbo:/. After the tour, we returned to Paseo Alcorta (strategically chosen to be our meeting point of the day, as it is only 2 blocks away from MALBA) and had coffee+cake (the so called- and adored- merienda!) with Santiago and my Dad. We also did some shopping, and I end up getting 3 pairs of funky socks with drawings of butterflies, smiley hearts and ice cream cones. I know...Peter Pan syndrome!xD And guess what? I watched another movie! It's called Veronika decides to die and based on the homonymous novel by Paulo Coelho. Haven't read the book (even though Gladys has it) because of my prejudices towards the author, but now I feel slightly tempted...I just love comparing and contrasting books with their movie adaptations!

Remember how a couple of days ago (back in 2009! Lol) I was super pissed with my brother because of some nasty things he'd said to me? Well, not only he came to apologise straight to me 2 days later, felling really sorry for what he'd done (I apologised as well, as my attitude wasn't the most appropriate either), but now he's asking me for help with his online shopping! And he's buying books! Of course, none of his books are of my interest, as they are non-fiction and about football, but anyway, I feel so honoured by being part of this- Santiago has never been much of a reader (he barely finishes the compulsory ones at school) and now there's something that keeps him amused apart from his playstation and the telly, which is almost a miracle. In addition, he's so excited with what he's getting that he shares his feelings with me and tells me what are the books about. Of course, even if I couldn't care less about those subjects, I pay him a lot of attention while he does this, for it's been a while since the last time I felt so close to him (i.e. emotionally speaking, obviously).

Today I also had a lj exchange with my girl Manda horrifically , who gave me a piece of advice concerning Stephen King's books. The reason was that a newspaper here will be releasing a SK book collection, and as I never read anything by him (unbelievable, isn't it?) I thought "why not?" and decided I'm getting some (I'm currently buying (and reading, of course) books from another newspaper book collection, which has the particularity that every title on the list has been published by Anagrama, a Spanish publishing company famous for publishing books by contemporary/avant-garde writers...so I guess you could say I'm addicted to bookshopping^^'). So yeah, based in these 2 situations (an the responses I got from some of you in my 2009 book/movie list) I support my title-statement, and feel proud about  being a (somewhat) active reader^__^.

First serious update of 2010! So many things worth telling in 3 days!
My first day of this new year was mostly spent on doing the belated spring cleaning (shame on me!). Believe it or not, despite being helped by my Mom AND Grandma (they both are like Friends character Monica, so my messiness must come from my Dad's side, lol:P), I didn't finish and will have to set a day for round nº2. Washed most of my clothes, gave away the stuff I won't be using anymore, rearranged my drawers, put special hangers for my necklaces (don't have that much, but thought it was a good idea) in one of the doors of my wardrobe, made space to save my college notes and photocopies in a tidier way, swept, vacuumed, and all that jazz. Ended up dirty and exhausted, but pretty satisfied, and just when I thought it was going to be a normal day of housework, Sebastian called me saying he would be picking me up in 15 minutes to hang around a bit...so unexpected (specially because it was 11PM, and he doesn't live that close)! But this was the only surprise- he showed up with Maka, a friend of mine whom I haven't seen since my birthday (March 13th!That's a long time!). Roamed a bit, catched up, and headed to a coffee house, were we had some submarinos. And on top of that, I received an unexpected gift from Sebastian: Briefing for a Descent into Hell, by Doris Lessing. Haven't read anything by her before (have you?) and seems interesting, so it shall be fun^^.  In conclussion, it was the best way to end the first day of the year, though slept only 3 hours because of the submarino I drank...maybe not my brightest idea^^'.

Woke up early yesterday and went to Dani's, so we would go together to the pilates center. Saw her first class (her Mom was her guinea pig too, in her case, for the beginners class) and then had mine. I felt good about myself because I knew all the exercises in spite of my pilates hiatus, and all in all had a great performance (I know, screw you, modesty! Hehe), though today my legs had been/are aching^^'. Dani got her teachers certificate, and to celebrate that, the three of us lunched at an Italian restaurant (yummy!). Then I went back home, only to take a shower, get changed and leave again, this time to meet Sebastian and see 2 expositions. Went to his house afterwards, dinned and watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Fenix, which none of us have seen before (Gary Oldman looking hot, yeah!).

And today I was supposed to gather up with Flor, but she cancelled on the last minute...again. We rescheduled for Tuesday, though that doesn't assure me I'll see her...even if she had a valid excuse, she's getting more and more unreliable to me...Anyway, I didn't want this to spoil my day, so I decided to go to my Dad's...he loves my spontaneous visits, and I arrived just in time get some pool time, so double win for me!

I know, an entry about the previous year on the first day of 2010 may seem nostalgic, but it was a last minute decision:P. Specially made for Justyna clampin (though of course everyone can read it and comment:P), here my list of the books I read and the movies I saw during 2009!( Books! )

( Movies! )

Went to Dani's to have lunch and eat till I dropped, lol. It's always nice talking with her because even though we haven't seen much of each other this year compared to 2008, I've never felt like we're growing apart- as soon as we start catching up, everything is like highschool again, and we talk non-stop for hours! I hope we never lose what we have, it would be a real pity. I'm seeing her again on Saturday morning because she's having sort of a test at her pilates course, and she needs me as her guinea pig. She has to give a class to someone who's never done pilates before, and someone who's at an advanced level...and that would be...me?? I'm the only person she knows that's done pilates before, but I wouldn't consider myself "advanced", as I only did it for one year...2 years ago (God, it's been 2 years since my last serious attempt of working out (I'm not counting the 2 months I went to gym classes this year 'cause that would be ridiculous:P)!How embarrasing!)!!!Anyway, it shall be fun. And speaking about fun/weird/ridiculous (I don't even know how to label it), when I was on the point of living, Dany told me out of the blue if I wanted/needed underwear...and then came back with a ridiculously big bag full of it! Ok, this might sound creepy to you, but it isn't if we take into account that Dani used to sell lingerie by catalogues. She stopped doing it just a couple of weeks ago, because she's (quote) "Sick of being stalked by sick customers"(???), but she stil has lots of items. In conclussion, I came back home with 7 new bras, and countless panties. Un-freaking-believable! I think I'll never be able to wear this much underwear!!!LOLxD

On another note, yesterday Sebastian and I watched Antichrist...loved it! Lars von Trier is such aa amazing director, he's never disappointed me! Even if this one must be his most violent film (and I'm not such a big fan of gore...on the contrary, I never watch horror films, though I don't think this movie goes under that category), I fell under his spell again! Now I'm quite curious, because I'm sure the film has plenty of symbolisms/quotes to the Byble which I wasn't able to recognize (but still sense they're there)...mmm...I can see a long night of research for me!

Just when you think your end of the year's getting kinda bittersweet, something happens that reminds you you've always have to look on the brightside and be thankful for what you've got.

1) After almost 2 months (or so) without seeing each other, tomorrow I'm finally visiting my lovely highschool friend Dani and her 2 naughty bunnies. I was feeling deep inside a bit sad, because it seemed like we would never agree on a date  that was convenient for both of us (I used to be busy with my finals, and she was/is busy with her pilates classes- she's taking a course to become a pilates teacher). I'm glad, because she's one of my best friends, and I'm not used to seeing her so little!

2) And speaking of bunnies, I just came back to my Mom's, and as soon I arrived, the post officer rang my bell, carrying a package...for me (something definitely rare for me:P)! Turns out it was Maggie'szilverkittie  present, containing...The Death of Bunny Munro, by NICK CAVE (and 3 pairs of matching  handmade button earrings, which I totally loved)! I've been in such a bad variating mood lately that I had totally forgotten we had made a gift swap after all! And on top of that, yesterday I finished reading Ada or Ardor (delightful story, though definitely not a light one...if you're feeling patient I thoroughly recommend it, it's totally worthwhile!), so the timing was just perfect- I'm starting it right now! Thank you, sweetie, you made my day!:D

PS:I just got your postcard, Justyna clampin! Thank you darling, Poznan is lovely even without snow!^^

I've been kind of M.I.A. these past few days, but that doesn't mean I didn't feel like writing. Ironically, now that I'm back home and far away from family drama (or simply drama, as it seems the upcoming end of the year affects most people-including me- in a negative way. I- as always- blame it on my upcoming period^^') have the feeling that if I were to write everything that happened to me and I consider wroth-telling, the entry would be just too lengthy and overwhelming:P

All in all, Christmas Eve at my paternal granny's was good, despite the fact that my Dad and one of my uncles are angry at each other and currently not speaking (family drama nº1). Eat tray food + turkey! + mashed apples + potatoes + ice cream. Yummy yummy for my tummy (which obviously suffered the consequence of such copious ingest of food, lol)! Spent Christmas there too until 3:30 PM, went back to my Dad's to open the presents and finally headed to Buenos Aires, were I took another bus to get to Sebastian's, where I got at 8 PM and spent what was left of Christmas (yup, you could say I spent most of the day travelling^^'). I had to stay over at his house because my Mom was still in her hometown with her parents (a.k.a. my grandparents:P) and decided to lock myself out of our house (family drama nº2), but I can't complain about that^^. Watched Les parapluies de Cherbourg, a very old French musical with a very young Catherine Deneuve, which was quirky, naïve and fun. The following day we went together to my Mom's, watched Silk (what a lousy movie!), went out just to satisfy our sweet tooth with some cake at a cafe and crowned the day with a pizza delivery in the evening. That same day I started drama nº3 by being a total bitch with Sebastian...The reason? Found out Dream Theater is playing in Buenos Aires on March 13th, the day of my birthday, which means Sebastian won't be at my birthday party. I made a fuss because even though they are his favourite band, he has already seen 'em (and it's the third time they would be coming here, so nothing says there won't be a forth) and I (wrongly) assumed he wouldn't choose the concert over me. I took it very personally too because I've been in his position before with a guy I used to date, long time ago, and I chose him over The White Stripes, and never regretted my decision, and of course I've always thought it was the right thing to do, so facing a different answer shook me, perhaps a bit too much^^'. In the end I felt guilty and slightly embarrassed, so I asked him to forgive me and now we're okey:) I was also feeling frustrated because of family drama nº1 and 2, and on top of that, I found out that the book I got him as a Christmas present (Enduring Love, by Ian McEwan) has a movie adaptation which he has already seen, so the plot isn't gonna be surprising for him (fortunately I read on IMDb that the adaptation is crappy...has anyone seen the film/read the book, btw?) and in that moment I felt the present itself had lost the magic...so I guess my overreaction is somehow understandable, isn't it?^^'

And what about my Xmas presents? I received a beach towel and handbag from my Dad, 2 "envelopes" (which is our family way of saying cash:P) from one of my uncles and my granny, a pair of flip-flops (yup, I'm giving 'em a second chancexD) from my Mom, a 2010 schedule from my maternal grandparents, and a book on Chagall from Sebastian (which btw has the image I have as an icon on its cover...mere coincidence??Don't think so^^)

I would tell you a bit more about yesterday and family drama nº4 (or nº3, as what happened with Sebastian wouldn't enter the family category), but it must be exhausting to read my bitching, so Iong story short, my brother crossed the line insulting me with a very strong adjective in front of my Mom and Vincenzo, so now my computer (which I used to lend him since his is full of viruses and out of order) has a password. On a happier note, I decided to return to my Dad's to spend a lovely afternoon by the pool, and went jogging afterwards, so even if today rained, I'm feeling great^___^

I've come to the conclussion I don't know how to handle my free time. Maybe it's because my summer vacations have just started, and I really needed to rest and simply do nothing, but this is the second day I spend staring at the ceiling/surfing the net/watching recaps of reality shows (so far, I watched the first 2 seasons of America's Next Top Model and half season 1 of Project Runway *facepalm*...and btw, Austin so deserved to win Project Runway!). I'm not even in the mood for reading, and in Danyland that's not normal!xP
The only interesting points of these wasted days were the 2 movies I saw, the first one being a quirky French one called Rumba (has anyone watched it? It's about a couple that does amateur dancing and gets into a car accident that changes their lifestyle completely...sappy and funny, in a French way, of course:P) and the second, My Life in Ruins (which I thought was going to be worse, but ended up being quite amusing...the different turist stereotypes where just perfect, and the scenery was more than enjoyable...I wanna go to Greece now so badly!).

I guess this entry has only one main purpose...I got your card yesterday, jai , thank you very much! You're so adorable^___^

PS: I'm thinking of quitting my "job" as a catalogue salesperson. I'm having so much trouble with the delivery guys and selling so little lately that I'm not sure it's worthwhile anymore. It's high time I got a real job!

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In February I bought porn for cluaran (10 points). Last Tuesday I helped naouia see the light (8 points). Last month I set relaxbutterfly's puppy on fire (-66 points). In March I didn't flush (-1 points). In April I gave horrifically a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points). Overall, I've been nice (1 points). For Christmas I deserve an XBox 360! Sincerely, daniela_renton

Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:

Thank you very much for your offer, Santa, but I'd rather you got a leather purse (yup, far from being a fan of videogames^^'). Went handbag shopping today, and couldn't believe how high the prices were! The result: came back home with empty hands and sore feet;_; I also went to SBS to get Sebastian his Xmas gift, which I can't reveal here right now 'cause he's one nosey boyfriend and would find out beforehand, and I don't wanna ruin the surprise:P I can only say that it is a book and it's in English (the language thing was his special request...he wants me to motivate him to read in English^__^)

I know, you just can't get enough of me whining about the weather, can you?:P Honestly, the rain was necessary, these past few days have been boiling hot and we were melting in here, but today there was (is?) the Festival Buen Día (literally, "Good Day Festival"...how ironic), a yearly design event held outdoors, with local bands playing from midday to midnight. I'm just praying for the storm to stop, so at least the bands that were supposed to play at that time are able to (which btw are the ones I am more interested in listening). I do have a plan B,which is going to the Bookstore Night (which is also held tonight...seriously, what kind of dumbass organises this? You can't put 2 cultural events of this relevance on te same day!), as that is an indoor activity, but then again, it implies moving my lazy ass downtown, so it will depend on both my mood and Sebastian's. Fortunately, the storm started after my Mom and I returned home. We went shopping to a big outlet of a clothing brand that belongs to one of my Mom's Enligsh students and came back with an enormous bag...God, I can't even remember the last time I felt the urge of buying everything that was on the showroom! The fabrics, the colours, everything was spectacular! I did get a grip, and bought only 4 items (a dress, a short skirt and 2...I don't know the words for them in English, let's just say...layers of clothxD Pictures soon!). On the contrary, my Mom got completely carried away and bought twice as much as I did (or maybe more, I got lost with the Maths:P).

Moving on to some bad news...I came back home yesterday (after the exam I went to my Dad's..btw, I got a 9, so yay for me, I'm officially on vacations!) and immediately noticed Alfie was missing (did I tell you he came back home again?I think I've forgotten^^'), so I asked my Mom what had happened, and she replied me Alfie was with at the vet...Apparently he bumped into a chair while running to the main door in order to bark at one of my Mom's students who had rang the bell (he always does that). Now he's wearing a bandage (that he'll have to keep on for a month), and even if it was no-one's fault, I feel so guilty for being away when it happened:S

Yes, I should be revising for tomorrow's final, but I'm sick of Heidegger not in the mood, so instead I checked my email account and found this:

www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/dec/16/the-return-of-poshness

(Courtesy of my English teacher, because despite being born in Argentina she's got a Brit soul and reads The Guardian/watches the BBC, and whenever she comes across an article I may find interesting, she sends it to me^^)

Funny coincidence, 2 weeks ago the main article on ADN (a weekly culture magazine) was about snobbery, AND last Saturday Sebastian and I had a chat about it, and how I used to be I am a snob. The reasons listed? I read Milan Kundera's books, listen to King Crimson, used to go to indie gigs of Argentine alternative rock bands...and wanna go to the Opera next year to see Madame Butterfly^^'
Don't take it the wrong way, I'm far from feeling offended by this accusation. Moreover, I declare myself guilty! Yeah, guilty and proud!

So now I want to know...how 'bout you guys?Do you consider yourself somewhat posh/snobs/hipsters? If so, examples are requested!:D
