Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love (someone to love)
Sweetheart to miss (sweetheart to miss)
Sugar to kiss (sugar to kiss)
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you in the morning
I need you you you when my souls on fire

Sometimes I feel
I feel a little sad inside
When my baby mistreats me
I never never never have a place to hide
I need you

Blues Brothers rock!

Having said that, good morning!
It's a lovely day in my corner of the globe, the sun glows and winks in a friendly manner through the curtains and I simply can NOT bring myself to study for my next test.
And I can't really worry about it either, because I just don't care (that much, right now).

Can't really concentrate enough to write this either.
Yesterday (Sunday), I went for a walk with my mom. We went to a golf club that sits right in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, with a spectacular view of the river/sea (look it up in an atlas/googlemaps to see what I mean). The owners of the club have a shady deal with the city council, and in exchange for not paying the property taxes for the place (which would be ASTRONOMICAL, as in REALLY BIG), they open it for the public on Sundays (theoretically, in fact they have tournaments on many sundays, and use that as an excuse to keep it closed).

It's a beautiful park, nonetheless, and no matter how much I dislike the administration for keeping it closed, I have to admit that they keep it spotlessly clean, and that those trees are a huge gulp of fresh air for the city.
Take a look: http://www.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=-34.924223,-56.166229&spn=0.016362,0.028925&t=k&om=1

It was a beautiful afternoon, just warm enough to make the shade a lovely luxury. We walked around barefoot in the plush grass (which is a sensory high for me), and just breathed really deep and listened to the birds. Not many people go there (lucky for us, bad for them), so you can reaaally stretch out.

I want to go sunbathe!!!

... I should study

=(

Hullo folks!

I'm Jude and this is your weekly update on the goings on in and around my life. Weather's just fine, cars speed by, birds chirp, clouds are a soothing lilac hue, and here are our top stories:

• firstly, one that didn't make it to last week's broadcast: A Night at the Opera! La Traviata, specifically. Lovely, lovely evening. The tenor was not really appropriate for the part of the young man in love (short, fat and old), but the soprano shone. And the theatre itself is gorgeous, here's a link: http://www.teatrosolis.org.uy/visitavirtual/visita.asp?p=1&s=0&i=esp
• no, you can't find out a person's address through their msn. Which, I suspect, is a verry good thing. I know where he lives because I've been dropping him off there for the past few weeks. We get there, I turn off the engine subreptitiously, and we spend an average of 20 minutes chatting and joking and laughing. *sigh*
• no, nothing has happened yet. I'll let you know when it does
• yesterday I went out to dinner with my parents to a mexican restaurant. It was practically empty (we're early birds, totally uncool), and we took some time picking a table. When we sat down, I felt --how shall I put it?-- a certain coolness in my southern regions. Surprised at this unexpected drop in the temperature, I quietly shifted in my chair and took a peek. Don't ask me how, but where a perfectly good jean had snugly fit before, now a gaping hole winked at me (and presumably at every passersby who cared to observe it). It was quite generous in its width (I'd say around 10+ cm). My dad's comment was: "So THAT'S why those guys were staring at you like their eyes were about to fall out"
• aside from that unusual incident, the food was amazing (the nachos kept coming, the guacamole was spicy and smooth, and the huevos ranchera were super tasty), and we had coronas (great beer), and "shared" a margarita -- basically I drank most of it, and it was yummy. Anyway. Good times =P
• I'm sure other fun things happened this week, but I'm really rather monotematic these days(if that is a word, it is in spanish, but I'm not sure the transition to english is quite so simple). I feel a bit like a blithering idiot, because a LOT of things remind me of Mr M. He's ubiquitious. I'm driving and Air Supply's "Making love out of nothing at all" is on the radio, and suddenly I'm obsessed with the song. Urgh.
• hmmm
• check this out (though maybe I got it from one of you, but still): http://www.lloydianaspects.co.uk/evolve/evolmenu.html
• maannnn *exasperated sigh* why won't he come online???
• oh well...
• listening to roxette "How do you do?!". yey!!
• that's all folks!
