I’m not posting often, but I know you know I am round here ;)
This weekend I’ve made a major change to the layout (the spirit remains :P) of my “sort-of-blog” in Spanish, which now includes the possibility of changing the styles just by a cliking on the style name (I know, it’s not “that” amazing, but it took me forever to get satisfied with the results!).

I have also been thinking about how to convert Glossa/Linguae Forum into a groupal blog without dissapointing too many people. It’s not an easy task and, besides, I am one of those freaks (aren’t we all?) who often draw a scheme of the layout and the contents before starting coding and designing the graphics, and I am afraid I won’t have time enough to deal with it during the next week. Anyway, I know that Frauke might have some interesting ideas about it ;)

I’ve also been working on a couple of things I hope I will have uploaded by the end of the year. And as I was getting bored yesterday at 2:00 a.m. :D I went checking all my sites for errors and so on. Fortunatly, only minor things: now some are fixed, but most of them are still like they were :P Sorry! :)

Oh, dear… I still have to write to some key and pen-pals… I haven’t forgotten you (I could never do that), it’s just that some events in my earthly life don’t let me rest (nothing really important, just a normal dose of stress :P)

Talking about “earthly life”… I’m still trapped in those horrible pedagogical courses that don’t let me focus on my Pre-doctoral thesis, and I am infatuated “again”… Bleh! Who cares? I don’t :) At least I am enjoying my German lessons :D

Saludos a tod@s ;)

VOILÀ

Et voilà la nouvelle graphique :D
(For you who are in .:.Callitoes Collectanea.:., just go here :P)
Yeah, I now it’s been here for a while, but I after I uploaded it, I had to give a couple of particular lessons to my two beloved pupils, and then I had another pila of stuff to do, so I couldn’t post anything until today… Anyway, now you all know: we’ve got a new layout at collectanea.org (gosh, what a heap of nonsense! :))

Incidentally, in case you were interested in the details, I teach Brais -the boy- Galician language Grammar & Literature and Spanish Grammar & Literature at a High School level; the girl studies Spanish Philology, but has some problems with Latin and with the subject of Spanish Syntax, so that’s what I help her with).

This is all so far… Well, you know: take care, have fun, beware of sexual diseases, whatever.
See you on the Net ;)

BLAH!

Yahoo Mail ist kaputt, blah! (Hey! My first sentence in German, yeepee! :P)

I’ve got loads of things to do, and now that I took a few minutes to come to a cybercafé, I cannot do what I intended to do…
Oh well: that is life… [Goes quickly to find out how to say that in German ;)]

MATRIX REVISITED & PRESTIGE ANNIVERSARY :(

Well, this was going to be a comment in response to those Frauke & Ajda had posted to the previous entry, but it turned out to be another entry, so… Here it is :P

Yeah, I love your layouts Ajda :D But, if you come to think of it, I run over 20 sites, so I guess you can imagine why I don’t change collectanea’s layout that much ;)

Incidentally, I went to see Revolutions again, and I’ve found “hidden” stuff I haven’t noticed before: just as it happened to me with the first and second films of the series, but not as many as in the other ones… I might go and see it again :)

I definetly love the “Matrix spirit”, but I can perfectly understand those who don’t enjoy the Matrix franchise. Anyway, I cannot stand at all those who judge before even trying to see it :P

Übrigens: today it’s the first anniversary of THIS SHAME :(

REVOLUTIONS

Hi there,
I’m working on a new layout for collectantea.org, in case you were interested :) I have just started it, and I’m rather bussy with other stuff, but hope it will be up before Christmas. I love
Sabrina’s layout, but I’m afraid it reminds us too much of summer holidays so…

Oh, incidentally, I went to see Matrix Revolutions yesterday. And… Yeah, in my opininon is the *worst* of the three, but hey, I’m sure most of the people who criticise it so much doesn’t understand at all the “Matrix spirit”.
Well, in the first minutes of the film you can see a little bit of the beautiful aesthetics I loved in Reloaded(no sarcasm intented, I mean it!), but then almost everything happens in Zion and it’s all quite messy without reason… And the worst of all is when…
NO, I won’t spoil the film now and here :P

Anyway, everybody who is a Matrix fan should go and see it. In my opinion: Revolutions it’s just one of multiple possible endings…

Take care, have fun ;)

MY BIRTHDAY

Hi there!
Yeah, it’s been a while since I last posted here, but I’ve been… Well, you know: bussy, as usual ;)

Anyway, I guess you’ve already noticed I’ve been around online and that I’m still making updates to my sites (yes, I know some of them are a bit abandoned, but I haven’t forgotten about them :p).

Today’s my birthday, by the way; :D I’m turning 25, so I am an Alte Schachtel, in case you were interested in that piece of news (danke, Frauke :))
I’m celebrating it in Santiago, instead in our family house because… I don’t know really: it just happened :P My parents and some friends have had lunch with my sister and I here and I have just left them to come to a cybercafé and post some stuff in this blog :P I hope my guests will forgive me ;) It’s just that my friend Q. phoned me from Norway to wish me a happy birthday and tell me that he had e-mailed me some pictures of his trips, and I got so excited that I wanted to come here, write to him, and write my ramblings in my English blog as well :)

First piece of rambling: I didn’t attend one of the Pedagogical courses I have to follow just because. Attendance is compulsory, but we are allowed to skip one hour per month… It was such a rainy day, and I find that subject SOOOO BORING AND USELESS AND THE TEACHER IS SOOOOO DULL, AND PREP, AND STUPID (prepotent+stupid=the meanest people you’ll ever met)… What I’m trying to say is: I didn’t attend that lesson just for the sake of it, but I don’t regret it at all; in fact, I do feel quite proud of that decission ;)

Incidentally, did you know our bachelor prince is getting married with a well-known journalist? The news were quite surprising, because we are used to gossip about the Prince’s girlfriends, and no one could even imagine he was wedding this girl. That’s a dirty trick: now nobody can say anything about her, because the engage is already official and we haven’t had time to make an opinion of her: she was one of those girls without a defined personality who sit in front of a camera and just tell us the news…

Oh, whatever: I’m afraid I have too many things in mind and I am only letting go out the most stupid ones :P

Well, what else… Only that I do really think I will never have a boyfriend in my life: boys get frightened when they get to know me, and I think I’m not patient enough to show them they do not have to be scared of the monster, or phantom, or whatever they think I am :P

Whatever, I’d better stop writing nonsense and go back to my guests… It’s just that I wanted a word with you all :D

Oh, by the way, don’t hesitate in posting whatever you feel like in
Glossa/Linguae Forums and say ¡hola! to Samanta, our newest neighbour at collectanea.org.

Ciao, ciao!
