The first out of two public debates of the two main candidates running to become Prime Minister in Spain took place today... their gestures speak for themselves.
But, who was opposing whom?

I've spent all the afternoon watching TV, laying down right next to the fireplace... at the end you can't tell if it's you staring at the fire or if it's the fire staring at you.
Good for winter =)

So this is how it looks like when a few blokes decide not to work, pushing everybody else to be late at their offices and schools, or not getting there at all...

Besos
Ariel Rot
Besos peligrosos, retorcidos y afilados
Besos generosos, puros y despreocupados
y son muy elegantes tus besos perfumados
besos frente al espejo mirándonos de costado.
Besos vertiginosos, nunca demasiado largos
besos demasiado tóxicos, a veces un poco amargos
y son muy arrogantes tus besos descontrolados
besos por cumplido sucios besos apañados.
Besos al peso, besos al precio del mercado
besos que valen lo que cuestan
y mis besos regalados
besos mal entendidos, besos mal interpretados
besos en los cuerpos encendidos
de los cuartos apagados.
Besos que quedaron en el medio del camino
besos milagrosos, besos santos y divinos
los besos postergados, los besos reprimidos
besos distorsionados por la memoria y el olvido.
Besos protegidos, condenados por la iglesia
besos descontaminados de los que recién empiezan
besos relajados de un tiempo muy lejano
besos malditos, besos libres de culpa y de pecado.

Probably one of my favourite places where to get some really cool stuff with very affordable prices. By the way: the chap on the picture is not me, though I'd love to... obviously, I was behind the camera at the time this was taken ;)

Today I went to ask for a new driving license as there were some details to be updated on my old one...
The point is that, whilst I was sitting on the waiting room staring at the numbers on queue, I wondered how bizarre is the fact that we spend quite a lot of time in our lifes waiting: waiting for the bus, then waiting inside the bus, waiting for the train, waiting for a plane, waiting to be called by the Doctor, waiting on a line, waiting for another one, waiting for the red light to turn green, waiting, always waiting...
Life's a waiting game =)

That's it. Raining all the day today...
Banana Pancakes
Jack Johnson
Can't you see that it's just raining?
Ain't no need to go outside...
But Baby,
You hardly even know
When I try to show you
Song is meant to keep ya'
From doing what your supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now.
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that its just raining?
Ain't no need to go outside...
Just maybe, laka ukulele
Mommy made a baby
Really don't mind the practice
'Cause your my little lady
Lady, lady, love me
Cause I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like there's no world outside.
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that its just raining?
Ain't no need to go outside...
Ain't no need,
ain't no need
Can't you see?
can't you see?
Rain all day
And I don't mind.

Some use to call it the third age, but it's actually a third youth... specially when you find a group of chaps having fun and behaving like if they were all 18 when they look much older.
Enjoy =)

It happens that the new facade of the "Instituto Nacional de EstadÃstica" building (the spanish demographics stats bureau), which emerged as a result from the comprehensive refurbish held by architect César Ruiz Larrea during the last couple of years, has some sort of hidden simphony beneath its walls, which is written with colors and numbers. It has been called "Diafragma Decafónico de DÃgitos" and was authored by sculptor Cruz Novillo.
Each color represents a number (1 is red, 2 is for orange, 3 for light green, 4 is pink, 5 for yellow, 6 for dark green, 7 for purple, 8 for blue and finally 9 for skyblue and/or brown), and also each color has it's own particular sound, as well (red is C, orange is D bemol / C sustained, light green is D, pink is E bemol / D sustained, yellow is E, green is F, purple is G bemol / F sustained, blue is G, skyblue is A bemol / G sustained and brown B). Then colors have been randomly sepparated by 58 different demographic facts pulled from the spanish reality at the time of reconstruction.
The objective of the entire project was, supposedly, to reflect the existig differences on the spanish demographics universe and how these affect and define the culture of the entire country. Also being able to perceive a single art piece (a building in this case) through different senses.
Sculpture meets music, then music meets color, then color meets maths, then maths meets architecture, then architecture meets sculpture, and so on...

Well... it's evident I went to the supermarket today. I was running out of milk, and then took the chance to buy other stuff missing and grab some beer, of course =D

I haven't got any subject to photograph today, so I've decided to take a picture of what surrounds my thoughts most of the times when I'm wondering why my mind has left blank. This is what I frequently end up watching at when I don't have anything else in my head: nothing to say, nothing to do, nowhere to go...
Would be like the snapshot of how intricate (or how simple) my emptiness can become... sometimes =)

Today I [finally] got my wall repaired from some moisture damages caused by one of my neighbours. I can't even tell how it looked a couple months ago...
Get damaged. Get repaired. Get relaxed. =)

I went out yesterday to shoot my 38th 'Project 365' pic but then, suddenly, I've found some unexpected audience which resulted in a sort of planning rethink...

Yesterday NASA beamed the Beatles' song "Across the Universe" to the space, by aiming a giant antenna in Robledo de Chavela (Madrid, Spain) at Polaris.
The transmission is being aimed at the North Star, Polaris, which is located 431 light years away from Earth. The song will travel across the universe at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney expressed excitement that the tune, which was principally written by fellow Beatle John Lennon, was being beamed into the cosmos.
"Amazing! Well done, NASA!" McCartney said in a message to the space agency. "Send my love to the aliens. All the best, Paul."
Today I've been there...
Across The Universe
The Beatles
Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Demonstration against FARC Guerrilla and criminal narco-terrorist organisation, held in Madrid's main square and more than 130 cities around the globe simultaneously.
Yes Mr. Oliver Stone: all of this, might be a shame.

I've brought home today some new glasses I have been wanting for months: 'Sidra' and 'Chiquito' glasses as they used to be called here. Plain simple but beautiful at the same time.
Sometimes empty glasses remind me of white papers yet to be written...

Yup.
A month later we went out for Christmas Dinner with some friends and colleagues, after finding out that it was impossible to find a decent place where to meet and have dinner in Madrid during December. So we went to a charming place called Lucca.
...and, it also worked quite well as my brother's birthday gathering =)

So I've picked up today my car's brand new key with remote opening buttons included, as the original key was broken a few months ago. I've paid them 135€ for it.
Might be an expensive keychain they have attached the key to...

Quite a lovely place where to have a soft hot colombian coffe blend or a [hard] drink, after (or before) visiting the famous San Lorenzo de Escorial Monastery, also known by some of the people around as "the hell's door".
Magic performances are scheduled on fridays at this venue; cool!

"Dedos" (Fingers) by chilean sculptor Mario Irarrazabal, at Parque Juan Carlos I, Madrid, Spain.
Hope it could apply as my second "week 1" weekies challenge (Hands), even though I've already submitted my shoes for the weekie challenge of the first week... of 2007?
Anyway =)

Well... I went out today to the car repair service in order to have my car's usual oil change done, and then I came back home with no ideas for the 365 project, till the moment I found the oil bottle standing on a corner.
That was the beginning of what became offcially my first "stock photo" essay.
Heres's the result =)

A different approach on how to watch time passing by, yet to be improved...
Made out from 60 different shots, this can be considered as the demo version of what would become a 'time' picture project, maybe sometime in the future.
For now it's just a picture project inside a picture project.
