Partidazo de Super Rose en Semifinales
Anoche nuestra crack Rose Superstar hizo un partidazo para igualar la eliminatoria de semifinales de la Liga de Baloncesto Femenino. En el primer partido, el UB Barça cayó al Ros Casals de Valencia (el equipo sin duda más fuerte de la liga) por 84-61. Parecía que le quedaba muy poca esperanza al Barça.
Sin embargo en […]

I Love a Rainy Night and a Sunny Day
As I mentioned on Friday, I had wanted to write a post about Thursday night’s rain. I had wanted to describe the wonderful feeling of getting into bed, under the covers to the sound of rain on my window sill. It is such a welcoming and comforting melody. For about 10 days straight […]

Another Country
This past summer I read Another Country by James Baldwin and had wanted to write an in depth analysis of the story.

Dorothy y sus cocineras
Dorothy estrenó casa el sábado y para ello contó con la ayuda voluntaria de la ONG “Compañeras sin Foneras” compuesta por Neska y Elena. Ellas pusieron las recetas de la madre de Dorothy a la práctica . Todo lo demás es historia para los que recuerdan. Y para aquellos quienes la noche les confunde todo, […]

The Bastard of Istanbul
Once there was; once there wasn’t.
God’s creatures were as plentiful as grains
And talking too much was a sin . . .

Carnet de Routes & Charles Mingus
This evening I was so excited to get home. The weekend was just beginning, but instead of going out for a night on the town, I was prepping to finish The Bastard of Istanbul, to listen to my new CD Carnet de Routes by Romano, Sclavis and Texier, and maybe even write a […]
