I don't understand.


I don't understand some movies. Last night I watched this movie with my lady. Well, I watched half of it before throwing it out the window. Does anyone understand this movie? If so, please enlighten me. I was trying to get some cinematic nous but just ended up confused...

I don't understand Spanish humor. I have a long term plan to move to Spain in 2007. So I've been trying to learn as much Spanish as possible before I go. But recent forays into Spanish humour are starting to make me think this may not be such a good idea. Take for example:

En el cine, dos amigas hablan sin parar.
Una señora sentada en la fila de atrás les dice muy enfadada
– ¡Perdonen, no puedo oír nada!
– ¿Y por qué tiene oír? Es una conversación privada...


Which roughly translates as:
'I am Spanish and have no sense of humour more advanced than a First Grader.'

Or something like that.

In other news, got to speak to tha Sis this morning. After three months in Engerland, I think she's finally getting the grasp of the time difference ; ) I am syked that she is gonna go and be hardcore some time next year!

Today is casual Friday at work, I am thinking of wearing something like this:




What you think?

Nice to read from you!! I like blogs because they keep the lonely winds of the cold Internet at bay on long evenings (read "afternoons") at the office!
