Smart rat

This little rat has taken a liking to the bird feeder: food and safety in the same place!

It is weird to be home, mostly because I have to remind myself that it is "for good" as in the next few years. 

Daroca

Spent a morning in Daroca. A village well worth a visit!

El Pilar by night

Basilica de Pilar with the Belen in front. Doing the tour in the Belen is one of those things I'll always do next year and never do..

Infinite Jest

How does one try to describe this monster of 978 pages + 96 pages of dense footnotes..

I begun reading it without too much hope that I would like it, as I had not enjoyed so much his collection of fiction Oblivion, compared to my utter facination with his essey collections. So I thought: Yeah, I'll read a couple of chapters and go to sleep.

Famous last words.

It is grotesque. It is violent. It is depressing. It is funny. It is absurd. It is heartwarming.

I think a reader would either hate it or love it.

Adding to all this it has lots of storylines that goes nowhere, things untold and jumps in time.. 

It is that time of the year again

And for once I had to remind myself it is December with the capital D and not december: a month like any other.

But the advent star is up, xmas music is on the ipod and christmas cards have been located and..

I am moving back home to Norway.

Cause the exam fobia won this round and I had to drop out of uni here in Zaragoza.

And I spent about a month and a half in bed with books rarely leaving my room; (showering and changing bedsheets weekly), eating not so much: depression but without the D. Because I could. It might have made more sense financially to go home and start working right away, but I look at it as a well deserved mental holiday from the world. So there.

Went to an exposition today:  Nacho Bolea's  "Mikado".

Bought xmas presents for my god children and for a friend.

I applied for a job on sunday, as an english and spanish teacher...

Have a good December!
