Miscellany of the week

Doing a double take walking past Burberry and realising their new pinup boy is… Ioan Gruffudd. Why? Why?! *shakes fist*

Jules imitating classic James Bond lines in bad Indian accent, after hearing that Hrithik Roshan was apparently in the running for the role. “Bond. James Vishnu Bond.”

Someone finding a pair of Oakley’s while out to dinner and immediately assuming it’s mine. Others who come across them say, “Hey, your shades are on the chair.” I am not stupid enough to place my recently returned A-Wire Oakley’s (with new frame!) on a chair.

Omg so many numbers.

Omg so many contracts.

Omg project going out of control!!

Yay!! No flamenco class this week!! My feet can rest!!

Battered feet

Let today be known as the day Miss Rosita attempted murder.

On what planet do you let students you just finished the Preparatorio, bottom of the pile exam, learn the Sevillanas dance? And making them dance with castanets?!

As if coordination of the feet and arms wasn’t enough, she tried to kill us by incorporating a rhythm? Clearly, if there were a god of flamenco, he was laughing out loud today.

The crazy is not genetic

When I bought those Billy Joel tickets for Papa (awesome seats, btw), I didn’t expect to put up with an education in his music (not that I paid attention) in the days leading up to the concert, nor did I think I had to put up with listening to record after CD, along with a commentary (!!) about each song.

All I expected was an ecstatic father enjoying a live concert by one of his favourite artists. Not this… fanboyism. I refuse to believe that this crazy is genetic, dammit.

Papa absolutely loved it, which totally justified my giving up half a week’s pay. He said it was a world class, professional performance. The old lady said Pa got upset towards the end because Billy Joel didn’t sing Piano Man, a signature song or something – he did during the encore so Pa was all happy again. What a freak.

Unfortunately, he still hasn’t stopped playing the music at home. T___T And he said he’s going to keep playing Uptown Girl until I stop saying it’s by Westlife. Yes, it upsets him. I wouldn’t aggravate him if he wasn’t slowly trying to kill us with Billy Joel’s songs.

I think my ears are practically superglued to these headphones now.

Someday I will say ‘no’ to exams

There has to be some kind of cosmic convergence somewhere for the two with the best carretilla be paired up for the exam, leaving the other two with a hit or miss carretilla together.
