Net miracle/irony

Yes, this is correct: it's half past midnight here in Salamanca and you're seeing me online writing something in my blog while sitting in the same room that has been completely netless for now close to half a year. I don't know how long this is going to last and, let's be honest, it doesn't really matter as I'm only staying here for a few more days. And of course the most ironic bit is that I have two exams on Friday morning and therefore the last thing I should be spending time on right now is the Internet. But then again, as I spent practically the entire day studying for yet another exam that I had this evening, I suppose I can just look upon this as a reward for my efforts and a needed moment of R&R.

A bit poetic after all

we will rise early and go out to
meet our new challenges. your back
towards me, heading off in the distance.
sunshine spreading gold over the grass.
the world is round so one day we will
meet again or at least reach a point from
which it's only possible to get back closer,
right? but still I'll try to climb whatever
rainbows on my way because they look a bit like
memories of you.

Kotkad, varblased ja Doctor Who

Tahaks öelda midagi poeetilist, aga kõik poeetiline on juba ammu öeldud. Teema on niikuinii vana ja kulunud... võiks ju ollagi kulunud, aga vat ei ole, ja ikka unistab mingi osa minust, et praegu on alles algus. Mille algus, ma ei tea, aga on hullumeelne uppuda viide sekundisse ühes päevas. Uppuda lihtsalt seetõttu, et korra näpuotsaga vett puudutada julged. Või hingega teise hinge kaja.

Kuna midagi uut öelda pole mõtet, siis kordan lihtsalt vana. Siin. Ja siin. Ja siin. Jnejnejne. Pimestav kirkus.

Eesti inimesed

Kahe nädala pärast korjan oma koli kokku ja liigun jälle koduses kirdesuunas. Sina, kes Sa seda teksti praegu loed - kui Sa oled sõber/tuttav/muidu tore ja Sulle meeldiks üle pika aja jälle kokku saada, siis kirjuta mulle või midagi. Ootan rõõmuga. :)

Latest comment on my English: "You sound like an American who's been living in Britain for a long time." I think that's the best compliment yet. :)

Temperatuur

Täna on Tartus 20 ja Salamancas 8 kraadi sooja. Varsti tagasi Eestisse suve järele!!

Spanish kids

I've noticed that children, especially little girls, are dressed in a way they might've been 50 years ago. Which, I have to say, looks quite gorgeous to my eyes. But at the same time is somewhat troubling, along with the knowledge of that a fair number of them will end up in Catholic schools... well, I haven't heard a lot of good things about Catholic schools around here, and from the way they look my guess is their parents are rather traditional-minded as well. I suspect these kids are being molded into not being progressive from the start. After a good number of years under sadistic nuns, no wonder that as soon as they become of age, Spanish youth spend the vast majority of their spare time going to parties and pubs where they try their hardest to drink and smoke themselves into premature death. Either that or they become good little church boys and girls who walk, eat and breathe the way the Pope tells them to.
