el jardin de las delicias

all easter break was spent with having fun and in an orgiastic eating and drinking.
everyday for 8 days we played tennis in the mornings. one day the tennis was cut short with rain and as a result we went swimming. (alephita here wonders what sort of a logic this is: it is raining so let's go swimming).



but the best part was eating. everyday the nasty dunkin donut sandwiches. appetizers before dinner, the dinner. and when i say dinner don't think of a simple meal. imagine a roman feast.
then drinking of course, beer vodka wine, whatever comes our way.
now our fridge hosts 6 types of ice-cream (including mint chocolate chip and cookie dough).

next week is my MA exam.

match points


he's not the only reason why tennis seems so fun.
nor are my nonexistent cute white tennis outfits.

tennis is fun because neither vern nor elif nor me are pros. we keep running after the balls, old guys give us extra balls, we eat delicious nasty egg and cheese sandwiches afterwords and get tanned under the sun.

the clash

suddenly london calling became my favorite album of all times. such fun and wit.


Spanish songs in andalucía
The shooting sites in the days of ’39
Oh, please, leave the ventana open
Federico lorca is dead and gone
Bullet holes in the cemetery walls
The black cars of the guardia civil
Spanish bombs on the costa rica
I’m flying in a dc 10 tonight

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón




Spanish weeks in my disco casino
The freedom fighters died upon the hill
They sang the red flag
They wore the black one
But after they died it was mockingbird hill
Back home the buses went up in flashes
The irish tomb was drenched in blood
Spanish bombs shatter the hotels
My señorita’s rose was nipped in the bud

The hillsides ring with free the people
Or can I hear the echo from the days of ’39?
With trenches full of poets
The ragged army, fixin’ bayonets to fight the other line
Spanish bombs rock the province
I’m hearing music from another time
Spanish bombs on the costa brava
I’m flying in on a dc 10 tonight
Spanish songs in andalucía, mandolina, oh mi corazón
Spanish songs in granada, oh mi corazón
