Mensaje de un compañero de trabajo a toda la oficina:
We went to see Josh Rouse last night, great show! He is done with his tour in Europe but he will be playing in the US in a few moths with John Mayer. If you have a chance go to check him out. Great show!
Perdoneu però no ho puc evitar, una altra recomenació musical. Música de bon rotllo per anar en metro, en bus, estar a casa, estar treballant... segur que us agrada.
I normally do not like to read this kind of self-help book but this one is very good. Mainly it is good because it is short and secondly it is good because it talks about you. The title says that it talks about leadership but they only say that to sell books among biz people, it is really about being in peace with oneself and with those that are near us. This book makes a good present too. It is by the Arbinger Institute.
Fall is finally here, now we can start spending entire days at home, making puzzles, watching movies, keeping ourselves warm... nice. I am listening to Sujfan Stevens, you should check him out. He is pretty good. If you like Kings of Convenience you will defenetely like him.
More than 10 years ago I read that To kill a mockingbird was Truman Capote's favourite novel. Last month was on sale at the bookstore so I got it. After reading it I need to recommend it to all of you. Do you remember reading books for school? Some of the books that made us read were for literature class, and those were boring because we couldn't understand them. But there were other classes where you could read for pleasure, I remember that there was a shelf full of books and as long as you wrote a little note about the book, you could choose as many as you wanted and the wants you wanted. All those books on the shelf made you think outside the box and ask you things..., I remember The 79 squares by Malcom J. Bosse. To kill a mocking bird is one of those books that you enjoy and after reading it you feel like you have learned a lot of things and that you have many things to improve and to think about. Plus it is really easy to read. I hope you enjoy it! By the way, can you make a recommendation of a book that you read in high-school?
I went to see Scanner Darkly today. I do not really want to talk about the movie right now but I would like to recommend you the previous movie from the same director. It is called Waking Life and if you video store has it you should rent it. It's a perfect fall movie! If you have seen it and you want to comment on it, please do so.

On Thursday our floor neighbours came to give us some sushi that they had prepared. I was so happy! So happy to see that there are people out there that are not afraid of talking with other people! A lot of times I have the sensation that people in Barcelona are skared to talk with others, that is why everybody looks rude in the subway and nobody smiles, they are like walking walls.
Ahir vam anar al Club Capitol a veure Clak! us la recomano moltíssim. És un espectacle d'humor visual, molt enginyós, molt xulo. Una hora i mitja de riure constant. La vam trobar a Atrapalo.com molt bé de preu i ens ho vam passar MOLT I MOLT BÉ. Crec que a tots us agradaria. També serveix si voleu fer un regalet a algú altre, segur que també riuràn. Està a Barcelona fins a l'1 d'Octubre. Ja m'ho explicareu si l'aneu a veure!
Si no els coneixeu us els recomano moltíssim, es diuen Harvey Danger i us podeu baixar el seu nou disc de la seva pàgina web gratis i escoltar-los, són molt potents. Això si, si us agraden molt, si us plau, feu una donació, és molt fàcil i us sentireu millor. A gaudir-los!
The alarm clock goes off at 6:30 but you press “Snooze” until 6:40, then at 6:50 it goes off again and you put the day off once more, finally you get up at 7am, and you do the same everyday. Why? What is the pleasure of snoozing for you?_______________________
Aquesta setmana he acabat de llegir Si això és un home de Primo Levi. Primer de tot dir que qui el vulgui llegir que m'ho digui perquè us el deixaré sense cap problema. De fet, tots els llibres que vulgueu us els deixo, i si no me'ls torneu sinò que els deixeu a algú altre no passa res. Us vull recomenar moltíssim aquest llibre que parla de l'experiencia de Primo Levi en un camp d'extermini nazi. Vicenç Villatoro diu en el próleg: "Sembla que l'única via per parlar eficaçment del Lager sigui el testimoni vital, net, en primera persona, que explica les coses tal com són, sense afegir ni treure res, sense buscar efectes especials, sense més truculències que les imprescindibles. I aquest és el fonamen de l'obra de Levi." Val la pena.
I strongly recommend you to read The world is Flat by Thomas Friedman. The first chapters might be a little bit boring if you are not really into the technological stuff. But after a while the book gets so much better! It gives you an outlook of the world situation, politically, economically,... very interesting and easy to read. If you want to know what is going one in the world today this is the book. Again, very easy to read, really. Also, it makes a good present.
