I've sewn, I've gone to Montjuïc Castele, I've been having lunch with my folks and I've finally slept an hour, that has to be enough to go one the rest of the evening.
I'll go and cook tomorrows lunch, and later I'll read some comics.

Yeah, yeah... the films... I know.
Tomorrow. I'll better tell all about it tomorrow.

Today I've come back from sitges to barcelona at 9:00a.m. aprox.
I've been all night long in a cinema, watching zombie movies and having a general good time.

Sitges Festival is over. The awarded films have been:

the good, the bad and teh weird (best director)
Tale 52 (best script)
Survelliance (best movie)
Martyrs (best make up)

And some more that I don't know right know.

I know I still have to tell you how days 6, 7 and 8 went, and I'll do it. Perhaps later, perhaps tomorrow. But I just can't do it right now as I'm fighting not to fall asleep (I don't want to sleep all sunday long).

I've watched this week's heroes episode, some little britain sketches and know, after a shower, I'll go for a walk to avoid the sofa and the bed.

See you later.

It'll pass. But in the meantime...



This "audio" shows why I love that man that much. He has one of the most beautiful voices ever.

I couldn't help it!

day 5_ 8/10/08
Festivaleros: Myself (alone, again ^^)

Yesterday I had a film at 12:00, wich meant taking the train elarlier.
So I woke up relatively early, id a pair of chores, and went to Sitges to watch FORBIDDEN PLANET!!


Leslie Nilssen was just as bad an actor then than he is now. The bugger! How can one person be so terribly bad at acting and still make a living out of it?
Still, the film is great fun to watch and really interesting. Pure and real Sci-fi. You have everything in there: robots, flying saucepans, invisible foes, laser beams, superior and lost civilisation, a mad genious, a beautiful girl, a really manly hero and even a philosofical reading: We can beat everything but ourselves.
I loved this film when I was younger and I still love it and I'm really glad to have been able to watch it in a big screen for once.

Then I took yet another walk through Sitges (I never tire of it). I bought a book for my sis-in-law (it had been her birthday) and entered a musueum, hwere they were having a tiny exhibiton about image and cinema (from dioramas to Melies). I discovered a musical group called RETRIO, that has a beautiful piano sound and make beautiful piano versions of well known songs.

And finally stopped for a burger and a Guiness.
And there is where I meet the little fellow I'll show you yesterday.

He was so tiny and cute... He was hidden in the hole, and from time to time, he went out, looked around and then, at the slightest sound... Flop! Inside the tube again. We gave him some ham and cheese and a bit of water, poor thing, but he wouldn't let us come any close to him.
I know he'll get by. It's a cat, after all, and he is cute. People will feed him (or her, come to think of it), but, poor thing... It was so small...

Anyway, then I got home and, after some more chores, I met with Roser and Ferran to chat a bit, wich was as good as watching Forbidden planet.

Tomorrow mornign I'll tell you more about the little guy in the picture there ^^

Suffice to say that he was adorable and I couldn't stop taking pics of him.

This article by Terry Preatchett has saddened me profoundly. What the marvelous mind of this man has given to us all can't be put into words. Well, it can, of course. His words. His brilliant words.

I already knew it, of course, but this illness is something that let me dumbfounded everytime I hear someone has it (whether is Terry or Pascual maragall, or Suarez...).

It's something I fear with all my soul and that I don't really think I can comprehend. I mean, the idea of, somehow, your brain not functioning properly... Well, mine does not work that well, really (this thing Terry comments about misspelling and suddenly forgeting how a word is written, well, this happens to me already), so I don't want to think about what could happen to me if I ever get Dementia.

I'm sad, because a brilliant man has to live with fear of, one day, not being able to dress himself. I'm sad because there's a lot of people in the world living with that fear, a lot of people watching their loved ones falling into it without being able to do anything but help them once the disease has gotten hold of them (please, oh, please, that has to be even worse).

This disease terrifies me. Period.

I wish Mr. Pratchett all the luck in the world.

Isn't he cute?

Aquesta tarda, aprofitant la manifestació general convocada pels tres grans sindicats, la gent de la Frigo ha reivindicat la precarietat de la seva situació sabent que molt probablement no cambiarem la decisió d'Unilever, però no l'acatarem en silenci.
Com que de tota manera hi anava a anar (a la mani), m'he afegit al seu grup, en part per acompanyar el pare, en part perque conec a la meitat d'aquella gent, en part perque és molt injust que una multinacional pugui decidir que 268 persones s'en van al carrer i ningú no pot fer res per aturar-ho.

De manifa

Com a totes les manis, m'ho he passat d'alló més bé. Perque no hem d'oblidar que a les mani anem a protestar, peró també anem a celebrar el nostre orgull de classe Obrera. I a demostrar a l'empresari i a la Patronal que potser ells tenen el poder económic, peró nosaltres som el motor i la força, i som força més. Que potser ara ens hem d'empassar la crisis que el seu sistema ha creat, però sabem (i saben) que serem nosaltres qui els traurem les castanyes del foc, i no a l'inrevés.

De manifa

I al final, a la plaça Sant Jaume, hem cantat la Internacional i m'he emocionat molt, perque allá al mig, entre tant treballador amenaçat amb l'atur, al costat del meu pare, puny en alt, ha tingut més sentit del que mai havia tingut. I Déu n'hi dó el que ja tenia.

De manifa

Salut, república i revolució.
