Look both ways before crossing
Lately I've been playing Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on my PSP. The game is fun, but so frickin' hard sometimes. I think one of the things that makes it so hard is the camera ( Read more... ) -

I have been an English teacher for more than six months now, which makes it the job I held down the longest in my life. My contract will be over soon, though, because, ya' know, summer vacation and the kids are going away ( Read more... ) -
So, this happened...
Last night when I was travelling from Bilbao, a woman left a piece of paper, a stubbed pencil and a ring made of twisted wire in my lap and then rushed out of the train. On the piece of paper she wrote "Se agradece ver a gente sonreir" - "It's nice to see people smile". This happened somewhere around the Bakiola station, on the C-3 line ( Read more... ) -
More Minstrel Miscellany
The job search is over! I managed to score an interview with Centro de Estudios DINI in Vitoria and aced it.

While I kind of love the Kamen Rider series, I will admit that it is sometimes worse than the Power Rangers ( Read more... ) -
Is there going to be only one post monthly?
Who knows? Maybe I'm just tired of blogging. Bah, anyway here's what been happening:
- My skin is a vessel of disease: got a pretty painful, pretty big, pretty dangerous boil on my back. It's reacting well to treatment, AKA opening it up with a hook-like scalpel and draining it daily. Also, socialised health care is the bomb, the Americans do not ( Read more... )

Here I am. Now what?
This post is long overdue and for that I apologise. A lot of things has happened between today and February 10 and still do not know how to deal with or even convey some of them ( Read more... ) -

"I can only be saved by an everyday order, discipline. I have no home, probably no homeland, I have nothing and soon I may experience something like 1939, only just for me, for me alone, for no one to know or care, just me. Of course you need to follow English protocol in these matters: tea and shaving everyday at five o'clock, no matter the ( Read more... )
