The happy phantom

I just listened to a super song from Tori Amos, the happy phantom. So to remember myself to hear it again, here I copy its lyrics...

Happy Phantom
And if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go chassin' the nuns out in the yard
And I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on
And I will never need umbrellas in the rain
I'll wake up in strawberry fields every day
And the atrocities of school I can forgive
The happy phantom has no right to bitch
oo who The time is getting closer
oo who
Time to be a ghost
oo who
Every day we're getting closer
The sun is geting dim
Will we pay for who we've been

So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
They'll be my ticket to the universal opera
There's Judy Garland taking Budda by the hand
And then these seven little men get up to dance
They say Confucius does his crossword with a pen
I'm still the angel to a girl who hates to sin

oo who
The time is getting closer
oo who
Time to be a ghost
oo who
Every day we're getting closer
The sun is geting dim
Will we pay for who we've been

Or will I see you dear and wish I could come back
You found a girl that you could truly love again
WIll you still call for me when she falls asleep
Or do we soond forget the things we cannot see

More pre-garden

Inky hands

Yesterday night we prepared some calamari, very very tasty. :D

My part in the cooking business was to get it ready (clean it, take out the "bone", and peel it). In the process got an ink bag smashed on my hands... I noticed that the ink is really black and strong... so much that today I still have some blackish-dirty spots on my hands and nails. :)

New discoveries on internet

Now that I'm working full time on a linux system, I had to find some alternative to keep on listening to music (Yahoo! launchcast and RCN cadena b´sica do not work anymore).

First I used Amarok to listen to my mp3s. The software is super, but after getting bored of repeating and repeating the same 123 songs, I looked for some radio-kind-of thing, and I listened to crappy shoutcast streams... never finding something that really suited me. And finally I found last.fm. There you can listen to lots of music from different artists. Although you don't have full control of what song to listen to (or at least I don't know how), you get +or- what you want! and you get to know new artists and groups...
I've been through old/new jazz, salsa, rock en espannol and more... and for free. (free as in free beer, not as in freedom).

After that I should check for more music from Madeleine Peyroux, Jack Johnson, Chet Baker and Regina Spektor...

Back from Nepal

... with a cold and with energy! :)
I wrote a bit about the trip, on a "log book"... I'll copy it here later this week!
But first, let's see if unpacking my luggage will ever end! ;)

Later I'll post some photos...
