Perdiendo el tiempo #likeaboss
Hoy pasé una (1) hora mirando el ícono de wi-fi mientras mi computador intentaba conectarse a internet. Aparentemente estaba atascado obteniendo una dirección IP, que es algo que sucede de vez en cuando y para cuya eventualidad estoy siempre preparada, con ebooks y cosas offline con las que pasar el tiempo hasta que se solucione el problema.

So I had to creep over him everytime!
There seems to be a pipe leaking somewhere on my building. Night after night, when the traffic noise outside diminishes, the dripping starts and my psychosis unfolds. When I started behaving like the main character in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper I got so freaked out I decided I needed TO STOP LISTENING TO THAT SHIT and got hold ( Read more... ) -
Huh
So, finally Feedly got to my nerves. Got back to good ol' Google Reader with a sort-of-Reeder-style. My life feels already much improved.

Is pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy & look snooty at a party
Sunday 15 October. 8:55 a.m. Just nipped out for fags prior to getting changed ready for BBC Pride and Prejudice. (...) The basis of my own addiction, I know, is my simple human need for Darcy to get off with Elizabeth. Tom says football guru Nick Hornby says in his book that men's obsession with football is no vicarious. The testosterone-crazed ( Read more... ) -
Si existe algo que me haga releer Jane Eyre por voluntad propia, es esto
¿POR QUÉ NO TODOS LOS LIBROS SON COMO THE EYRE AFFAIR? Las sesenta páginas más entretenidas que he leído en un buen rato. Desde To say nothing of the dog, probablemente* ¡Es que nada tiene sentido! La realidad alternativa, los detectives, el enemigo, la ChronoGuard... es tan disparatado que por un instante suspende la capacidad de sorprenderse y te ( Read more... ) -
