stuff

- Forget last post. Thesis presentation re-scheduled to June, 24th. Oh yeah! Let's do this.

- Loooooove France, lovoooooove french, have the greeeaaaatest french friends, BUT! do not ask me to work with them. It's tough, really tough. Lot's of self-control, patience, resilience and tolerance required. Probably only two more weeks of this. Thank u Lord.

- I'm hooked on rucula. I'm serious. I used to have it allot in Italy and didn't like it that much back then. Now, maybe cause I miss Italy so much, I'm having that everyday. Yum.

- Speaking about Italy, one of these days last week, I caught this documentary on tv about this american girl involved in a murder in Perugia. Weird and scary. Check it out and satisfy ur morbid curiosity (beware of the possible bias to it).

- Monday, big lunch and football game at the company and Opera at Teatro São Carlos at night - 'Eugene Ogenin' of Pushkin by Tchaikovsky. Cannot wait.

- Also, I've discovered and re-discovered great things in the last couple of months.

i) Florbela Espanca poetry. Still don't know how or why did i leave this behind. So glad i got it back.

ii) 'Os Pontos Negros' - Good portuguese music. A bit too Beatles, but ok. Gotta start from somewhere, i guess.

iii) 'Gente Independente' by Halldor Laxness - no words to describe it. Raw, pure, simple and funny.

iv) 'Manifesto contra a Racionalidade
' by João Gomes de Almeida (text and poetry). Serious candidate to 'books of my life list' along with 'Gente Independente'.

Please go and get some of this stuff.

Now, excusez-moi but I'm going to go for some nice chocolat, banana and ice cream crep in downtown.

ciao.

My love tb vi isso da rapariga que foi morta em Itália, o programa da Oprah. Fiquei com a impressão que a rapariga que estava presa era inocente (por causa das provas e assim) e tive muita pena da família. Nem quero imaginar o que seria acontecer-nos algo assim. Medo.

Ainda bem que a defesa foi mudada. Por acaso tb já não tenho apresentação nesse dia :)
