oscar's life   Sunday, August 07, 2005 12:45 PM posted by Oscar   Yesterday we saw March of the Penguins--Viaje del Emperador--maybe one of the best love stories ever committed to film... Oscar wants me to write something here about the "bad bird" who ate the little baby penguin and then went away. He has a real tendency to be drawn in by the morbid aspect of life. Speaking of which, Spirata has retreated deep into her shell. It's very, very hot right now. I'm not sure if she's going to be able to survive this Saharan heatwave... It's making me pretty cranky, but I know it will be over in just a few weeks. It just slows your metabolism down. Everyone moves like elephants. The sunny side of the street is always empty. We toyed with getting a little air conditioner for our front room, but decided to stick it out. We've got all of the blinds and awnings (persianas y toldos) snapped down tight. The Rastro is still going on outside... I can hear a guy playing that Brazilian instument with the long string (what is it called? Christian isn't here to ask...) and a river of people moving by. Off to play with "dough" (or is it "doh")... Saturday, August 06, 2005 2:30 PM posted by Oscar   Woo-hoo. It is hot in Madrid. There's a heat wave from the Sahara that is emptying out the city. The verbena for San Cayetano started a few days ago. Last night we met up with Sunny and went to Plaza de Cascorro to check it out. This week we may go to Galicia to escape the heat. David and Santi are up in A Coruna at her grandmother's place. We've always wanted to go... I'm finally getting some of our recent photos up online and hope to get some older one's up, too. Given that my job involves dealing with photos so much, I just haven't been able to motivate myself to put them up here the past year... From here on out, most of them will be here: http://cubansandwich.shutterfly.com They are pretty high resolution, and you can order copies of the photos from the site, if you want.
