Liga del Campeones!

Who knows how long we've got
Or what were made out of
Who knows if there's a plan or not
There is our love
I know there is our love

if this is goodbye
if this is goodbye
-Mark Knopfler

ATLETI!

They won last night, 1-0, against a very defensive and very good Deportivo side. So they have qualified for a shot to play in Europe´s top league - The Champions League. At worst, they play in the UEFA Cup.

The stadium was a sellout. And it was freaking loud!!!! I met some people in the park outside. Just young kids really. The one dude, Nacho (now that´s a name!), could not get it through beer soaked skull that I was from America, not Inglatera (England). It was funny. His friend´s even corrected him the third time. Well, better friendly and dumb than an A-hole and smart. Anyway, the whole experience was really a thrill. And then i walked home in 20 minutes. Just over the river and up Calle General Ricardo and i´m home. Woo hoo!

Happy Muther´s Day to all of you by the way!

Land of Stupidity

It just took me over an hour and visits to 3 banks to deposit my pay from the Daft One. And the queue was long because this is San Isidro week so they cut their bankers hours from 9-2 to 9 to 12:30.

It´s a madhouse. A madhouse!!!!

At least if i was on the Planet of the Apes maybe i could at least grease their palms with bananas or something.
