09/21/2019 Piano Man Just some minutes ago I was listening to a song I hadn't listened in ages –or probably just a couple days. This is Piano Man, written and sung by Billy Joel. Music has always been a very important part of my life. Since I was very young my parents introduced me to diverse genres and artist. On the one hand, my mom used to listen to lots of Mexican folk music and 80's/90's latin rock; and on the other, my dad's a big country and classic rock guy. So if someone asked me what was the first song I remember listening to, I most certainly would not know how to answer. What I could actually answer is what's the first song I remember leaving a strong emotional impression on me, and that's Piano Man. I was probably 10 or 11 years old at the time. My dad was home, and as always he had the TV on a channel called VH1. I was sitting on the couch not paying much attention to the music videos, when some jazzy piano started to play, later followed by a harmonica and piano introduction. That immediately captivated my interest. Ever since I've a fan of Joel's work, and I think it's a shame he hasn't released any new studio albums in almost two decades, and apparently he's not planning on doing so any time soon.

09/20/2019 It's Friday! Finally we've reached the end of the week! After long days at school and endless amounts of homework, tonight I have the opportunity to go out with friends. I personally don't like drinking too much, however my friends are crazy about ingesting massive amounts of alcohol and being babysit by the only sober person in the room, who most certainly is me. I remember once, a friend of mine got really really drunk at some random bar, and of course I had to go pick her up in the middle of the night. She was accompanied by five or six coworkers, who seemed quite sketchy in my opinion and were really upset about a stranger interrupting their gathering to bring home the poor drunk girl joining them. Another time I was invited to a house party of sorts, where most of the guests were probably juniors at high school and had no idea of how to take care of themselves. That night I was unable to enjoy my time there, due to the large number of teenage kids asking me to go check their blackout drunk classmates. Oh man, I'm starting to reconsider my plans for tonight. Probably I'll just stay home and watch a movie. Alone. As always.

9/19/2019 Rainy days and Café Tacvba It's been raining all day long in my city, to the point where some roads are flooded. Though it's not that bad in my neighbourhood, just a couple puddles. I can see from my bedroom's window little children having the time of their lives, playing soccer under the rain and running around without shoes. It reminds me of my own childhood, when I used to play with my friends in pools of dirty water or mud. Right now I'm listening to "Las Flores", a song performed by the alternative rock band Café Tacvba. They're orginally from Mexico, and all their songs are in Spanish. What I really love about them is that although they're labeled as a alternative band, they cover a wide variety of genres and most of their work is influeced by our country's folk music and indigenous traditions.

09-18-2019 Today's Wednesday, September 18. It's been quite rainy today in my city. The sky is filled with clouds and the sun is nowhere to be found. I still think the weather is lovely though; at least it's not super hot as always. It's been a super lazy day, I've been just laying in bed, drinking coffee and reading. A couple hours ago I was rereading this book written by Haruki Murakami, I believe it's called 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle' in English. Honestly I think it's one of the author's best works, because of it's captivating plot and strange yet interesting characters. I remember that years ago, after reading it for the first time, I went through quite a prolonged period where I only read Murakami's books hoping to find something as good, but unfortunately I was a little disappointed. Nothing really caught me as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle did.

What's the position of "nicht"? Hey! Well, I have been studying German for a while and I still have this simple question... What's the position of "nicht"? For example, is it... "Er darf abends *nicht* ausgehen" or "Er darf *nicht* abends ausgehen"? I know that "abends" is a time adverb, and the time adverbs have to be put the closest possible to the start of the sentence. But I also know that we usually put "nicht" next to a verb. The conjugated or the infinitive verb? Well, it's a little confusing. :'v

My favorite band I'm the kind of person who listens to many genres and likes all kinds of music, and in any language. But, without doubt, if someone asks me what's my favorite band, I would say that it's Soda Stereo. Probably, if you're not from any Spanish speaking country, you won't know this band. Soda Stereo is an argentinian rock band, very popular in the 80's. This band was very famous here, in Mexico and all Latin America, back in those days. I remember that when I a little girl, my mom used to be a big fan of many argentinian rock bands, and because of that she used to listen a lot to Soda Stereo. Well, if you're interested in it, here's a link to one of their most famous songs: https://youtu.be/HjKbpiofA-g I hope you enjoy it. :)

My horrible hair cut Today I've cut my hair. As you can imagine, it has been a traumatizing experience for me. The stylist almost shaved my whole head (literally) and now I have to use a cap to dissimulate my baldness. XD Well, I'm preparing myself for not going out in some (many) months.
