The day I met Hugh Jackman

Last night I met Hugh Jackman on a corner two blocks from my home. We talked a little bit and he was as nice as I always thought he would be. Then it started to snow.
I live in the middle of Amazon. The forest, not the e-store. I was dreaming, of course. 
My unconscious has such a bittersweet way to tell me I'm asking for too much...

At least the week begins with a laugh.

By the way, or not, this is the 500º post of this blog. It took almost 10 years to reach the mark. I'm slow, I know.

It should be that easy!

I wish you a...

(To keep the tradition of bringing Snoopy and The Peanuts) ;)

A short comment

What a little teenager depressed journal this blog has become!
Sorry, dear visitor. I thought by this time I'd had figured out life. That's a post-anniversary tradition.
Sunshine will be back soon.

St. Patrick's week

So I decided to change the mood a little bit here. 

The St. Patrick's week is officially opened. Yeah, it's a 9 days' week.

I'm all about green t-shirts and making plans for next weekend.

St. Patrick's Day is gonna be awesome this year!

Une chanson pour cet samedi

Maintenant je ne comprend rien en français. J'ai oublié tout. C'est très triste.
Je vais retourner a la classe.

Top 5 on Friday - the best of 2012 (part 1)

This is totally personal, I don't pretend to understand about music. It's just a piece of my life last year.

Concerts

Mark Lanegan Band - I had a dream about this concert and decided to go on the last minute. The best decision I've ever made. Something has changed inside me since then.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Also magical. When he played "Don't look back in anger" it was cathartic. I had never saw so many men holding beers and singing out loud like that. It felt a little bit like London, I guess.  

Lou Donaldson - There's nothing like a great jazz concert for free. And he's pure charisma!

Strobo - Some bands only show how good they really are on stage and this is one of them. They have a good record but live it's something else. Already a fan.

Ian McCulloch - The most "I-do-what-I-want" concert I have ever been. He talked a lot and laughed and asked what songs we wanted to hear and denied most of the asks... it was fun.

Great photos and a Harry Potter fan :)

The collection begins

Almost one year after talking (or writing) about this record (here, here and here), it just got here by mail. I'm in such a rush right going to work I will save to break the plastic and see the inside later.
But more important, I finally get to start my vinyl collection. No, it's not hipster anymore so don't judge me. Hipsters are probably collecting tapes (k-7) by now :)
The funny thing is it came before the turntable so I will have to wait a little longer to listen to it...

Friday the 12th

I'm saving this post since January!
Yeah, I'm crazy and I like Savage Chickens this much.

Toefl

Yesterday I had my first Toefl and, man, I blew it!
I knew it wasn't easy but decided to do it without study. What a terrible decision!
It truly demands preparation. Not really studying grammar or any topic but to prepare yourself for so many tasks, knowing how to manage the time, and how to keep focus for 4 hours almost without stop (10 min break)
I wish I hadn't chose to send the scores for some institutions... 

Seriously, it was so ridiculous I kept thinking I should stop writing in English here.

Yes, sir!

Done

Thank you, unknown person

I tend to like people in general, but things become easier when I discover:
1. they have born the same year I did
2. they support the same soccer teams I do
3. they give the same importance to a band or a specific song I deeply love. 

So today I've found a blog where this guy thinks Leave is the best REM song in the best REM LP. And that's something I think since 1996 but until this day I had only met 2 people who can name New adventures in hi-fi as a great album and only 1 of them thinks Leave is a great song.

So I just wanna say: Dude you're 100% right! And thank you. We could be friends.
