sabado Noche

And you can swallow

Or you can spit

You can throw it up

Or choke on it

And you can dream

So dream out loud

You know that your time is coming 'round

So don't let the bastards grind you down

-U2

I was teaching Maria this week and I asked her what bands she liked. One of the things I do with the students that's fun is studying song lyrics. They love it and it's a break for me too. So I asked her what bands she liked.

"I love oo-dose. You know them, oo-dose?"

"No, but I can find them on the Internet."

"You no know oo - dose. Bono, Edge?"

And then it hit me -U2. U is 'oo.' 2 is dos. Too funny.

It was a great week. Lots of teaching and lots of fun. I worked with Bank Santander and Ferring Pharmaceutical this week. But the buses in Spain are almost as degrading as in Jamiaca. They run whenever the hell they feel like. And then they jam you in. Luckily I don't need to take the bus for any of my regular gigs.

It's almost 10 on Saturday night. ALMOST time to go out. Went out with some friends I met through Laura last night. Tonight is kind of quiet. I'll probably just go to the Mural. There are fewer of us now, with Deidre gone. Some of the folks from the course we just don't really see anymore. And Laura's in California.

I guess it's the lull before the storm when Mel and Janet visit on Saturday. THAT's going to be one busy week - and fun as hell. I'm going to attempt some pics of the flat mates. Sydney ,myself, Kristen and Stuart. Sydney (Texas)doesn't live here, she just LIVES here. Always here. Kind of a lost dizzy chick.

Stuart is prancing around in shorts, showing off his newly shaved legs - a scary proposition. He did it for some type of Rugby reason. I understand the ankle, but I don't fucking understand the rest of his leg, or the left one. Madrid is a frightening place.

There's a lunar eclipse tonight, viewable only form Asia and Europe. Sorry. I'll try and take and pic.

Otherwise, all is well. I'll start my full time teaching gigs this week. Should be interesting
