re-pair
I have to tell this because it’s so hilarious.
When I came here, about a month ago, in couple of first days it rained, hard. And the roof leaked.
I actually heard that something fell onto it… or from it, or whatever. Anyway on the corner of the room it leaked. and made a small river into the room… not much, but enough to get all the electricity off the floor. After that the leaking stops. It rains everyonece and a while, but the roof doesn’t leak. It rains really really hard, but the roof doesn’t leak. I though someone had fixed it, but maybe it just swell.
OK.
Last week, on thursday or so, when everybody else was taking hermano to airport, the doorbell rings. I wake up, since everyone has gone sleep about three, me included because it seems impossible to me to sleep when everybody else is yelling (ok ok talking, yelling just every once and a while). Clock is about 11. SO on the second ring I get the door there is three men, including the janitor, and a woman asking for Sari, who is the habitant of this flat. I tell I speak no espanjol, but luckily the woman does speak english, I tell that everyone is in the airport and she tells that she’s the owner of the flat and these two men are coming to fix the roof. And I almost say oh nice yeah it did leak about month ago, but then decide to shut up. So men come and go to the roof and fix it and make a mess and clean it and then leave.
On the next morning, after their visit it rains hard. I wake up in morning at sometime and hear the rain and fall back to sleep. When I get up, I notice that the roof leaks again! Brilliant. It takes a month to come to fix something that doesn’t need repairing anymore and when they “fix” it, it needs repairing again.
It’s just sems to be how things go over here.
Brilliant.
Otherwise, my life seem to concentrate on all the things it’s been concentrating a long time. Difficult relationship(s), dancing, a little bit of less music, since there seem to be no so much time to listen to it, and getting things.
But I have heard latest Katatonia… Now after discouraged ones, I have felt that eveyrother album is ok then the next one not so good and then ok again but nothing really beating discouraged ones But then came Great Cold DIstance and bloody hell. It’s really fucking good. still maybe not beating discouraged ones since how can you beat a classic, but GCD being much better than anything between. So thanks to all this expectations could be really high, but because I knew this I tried to keep my expectations very low. And thank god, because new alum is good. Katatonia is Always Good, it’s much better than many others out there, but no it’s not as catchy and as nice as GCD, but also, It’s ok. I’ve now listened Night Is The New Day twice and I can’t say any super songs yet, I’m sure there is some. So I’m not much of a critic. what I heard was, about same sound world as GCD which is good, something that could be Opeth which is not surprise either and not bad thing and some really thick riff’s. Everythings hunkydory.
Took first roll of film to developement today. I pick it up tomorrow, let’s see.
I also tried to figure out should I get new glasses here. It seems not. Thanks to “cheap” chains like specsavers it’s cheaper in finland to get glasses. Well here it’s about 100€ depending on the specs, and in here if you take anything that is european brand as specs… huh it might be even cheaper in finland. Of course the cheap brands here are cheap, but so is specsavers back in finland. But I did find almost the sunglasses I would like to have… but then not quite, brigitte by infinit, but they have some gold in them and it’s maybe bit too much, also the price is bit too much. But somehow they’re nice. And of course I’m attracted of the name.
So maybe after all I’ll just glue my glasses together and get new ones when I get to finland…
I would like to get out of this consuming mind… But I think I’ll will always consume, buy, music right now James Blackshaw in my headphones again and me god, I need to give this man money.
If something needs repairing all the time, when is time to throw it away?
