XXV Aniversario de las Filologías en la UAH

Maya, nuestra profe favorita, nos manda esta convocatoria urgente:

Es una celebración que tiene lugar mañana jueves, 25 aniversario de las filologías en la UA, y vamos a festejarlo a las 12.00 en el Paraninfo con discursos, un concurso de traducción y… mucha bebida y comida a las 14.00.

A mi, e imagino que a Ruebenest, nos encantaría ir. No creo que lleguemos a tiempo para pillar canapés, una lástima, pero al resto de los compañeros que seguís en Alcalá o proximidades, os animo a ir, y a ser posible, a contarnos luego qué tal fue.

Pasear al perro en Amsterdam

Os dejo aquí un vídeo que hice con el móvil ayer. Alguien paseando a su perro. ¿Que qué tiene de especial? pues que va en bici, por su carril, entre el resto de bicis que se acumulan en el semáforo (es hora punta) y, ante todo, con mucha clase.

Es una pena que mi móvil no sea el de Rubenest, porque la calidad deja mucho que desear. Volveré a hacerlo cuando pille algo parecido con mi cámara.

Llevar a tu perro cuando vas en bici es algo que se ve todos los días en Amsterdam; es algo que forma parte de la cultura ciclista local. Los que acompañan con más gracia, por cierto, son los galgos, que están encantados de ir corriendo a cualquier sitio.

Walking my dog, in Amstedam

Here’s a little video I took yesterday. Just somebody walking their dog. Notice anything special? yeah! that’s right! she is cycling, in her on lane, among all the other cycles waitng at the light (rush hour you see) and, needless to say, looking cool and chic

Pitty I didn’t have Ruebenest cameraphone, mine just doesn’t do any justice to the beauty of the scene. I promise I’l redo this some other time with my camera.

Cycling with your dog is somehing you can see anyday in Amsterdam. It is part of the city’s cycling culture. The dogs that really enjoy it, and look very smart while running at your side, are greyhounds.

Wild Cats Homecoming

Yesterday it was my first time going to a football game. The U of A was playing Vs USC because of the homecoming even that it is once a year. The expectation was huge because USC is one of the best teams this year and the wild cats are doing good too.

It is typical before the game do what they call Tale Gate and that is what we simply call it botellón :D They open the backside door of the pick ups and just sit there for about 4 or 5 hours talking about football and enjoying a huge bbq. I was with Maddie’s family, supporting USC cause they invite me to the game, and we had so much fun.

Once in the game after being drinking I can’t say too much about it. There were a bounce of people, all in red shits, shouting and screaming, so I did what I saw every time they did it. One of the memories that I will always have is the cheerleaders dancing and making pirouettes as they were gum. It was fun too, but at the end U of A lost 10-17.
