Stupid Stories from Madrid

  • So how was i supposed to know that this morning we turned the clocks back to standard time? I didn't see it in the paper. No one talked about it. I went to a bar nearby to watch the Atleti game and the teams have the wrong colors. I ask the bartender and he said it was at 7. I just looked at him. It was 7:20. He pointed to the clock. It was 6:40. So that was why my computer's clock was an hour early. I thought it was just my shitty Dell Laptop. Mum has phoned or emailed me religiously for the last twenty years saying DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR CLOCKS! But the USA doesn't change until next weekend. And so i fell through the cracks....
  • I went to an Intercambio last night with my friend Cara. It was at an Irish Pub, o'Neills. I was interested because on the web it said that the group was all girls. Sccchhhhhwing! So we went. They were really nice but they were the single ugliest group of woman i had ever seen. One was cute, the other ten were just very hard on the eyeballs, the poor things (i meant my eyeballs!). The only Spanish guy was really tall, really nerdy, and NEVER smiled. It was like trying to talk to Christopher Walken in Spanish.
  • I think i am recovering from my cold. Everyone in Madrid had it. It was like an epidemic. Someday Stephen King's The Stand is going to happen. And then we'll all be buggered.


tales from all over the place
  • My Spanish still has a long way to go.
  • It is shameful how much health care in the USA is a big business.
  • i f@#king hate the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are currently leading the Giants 14-9.
