Winter has started

In the meantime I just noticed that there are a lot of people reading the blog, but nobody, well, almost nobody, is brave enough to post.
So I´m sitting here with my typically sunday mood: I got a terrible Hangover and yesterday I found out that I haven´t been in my apartment an entire day for three weeks now. So today this will be that special day... Somehow I´m afraid I won´t be in the situation to enjoy it like I really planned to. But anyway looking outside the window, I´m thinking about staying at home until march, because it´s terribly cold. Two days ago we had the first day of snow and all the viennese were getting nervous to buy the "winter wheels" (i don´t have any idea how this should be called for real) for their cars. I thought that this year I will be extraordinary clever and I won´t spend to much money in heating: First because I´m hardly ever home and second because I was getting used to spend a winter with my coat on all day long freezing like hell in sunny spain last year. But I´m weak, a looser, yesterday I started to heat up.
The worst about this time here is the wind and that people stop going out. I mean that´s logical think about the risks: you are getting drunk and just fall asleep on the street and you die from exposure. I guess that´s not funny! And all the places to go out are far away from where you live... allways. Allthough you might live in a cool quarter of town where you can go out and everything, you´ll allways have friends that refuse to go out round your corner and they´ll take you to the other side of town. So at least you have the choice between: freeze yourself to death while walking home, freeze yourself to death while waiting for the "nightline" or getting hopelessly poor in getting home in a way too expensive cab.
So I choosed to live, I´ll stay at home and I´ll keep on working to finish my studies... hurrah: GOOD GIRL! That´s what winter is for!

Interpretación

Vale...habeis visto el último post? Supongo que si! Tengo un problema: Me daba cuenta que precisamente esa canción gusta a un monton de personas, hecho traducciones y entiendo cada palabra (ya se que mi espanol es una mierda, pero bueno), pero me resulta absolutamente imposible de coger el sentido. Estaba buscando si se puede encuentrar una traduccion en otro siteo o un intento de interpretación pero tampoco tenía exito con eso. Pues... entonces: si alguien sabe algo o simplemente es más listo o lista que yo, que no me parece tan complicado, me podais hacer un gran favor con las ideas! Un beso... a todo el mundo y el universo tambien.

Oleo de una mujer con sombrero

Una mujer se ha perdido
Conocer el delirio y el polvo
Se ha perdido esa bella locura
Su breve cintura
Debajo de mí
Se ha perdido mi forma de amar
Se ha perdido mi huella en su mar

Veo una luz que vacila
Y promete dejarnos a oscuras
Veo un perro ladrando a la luna
Con otra figura
Que recuerda a ti
Veo más, veo que no lo halló
Veo más, veo que se perdió

Una mujer innombrable
Huye como una gaviota
Y yo rápido seco mis botas
Blasfemo una nota
Y apago el reloj
Que me tenga cuidado el amor
Que le puedo cantar su canción

La cobardía es asunto
De los hombres no de los amantes
Los amores cobardes no llegan
A amores ni a historias
Se quedan allí
Ni el recuerdo los puede salvar
Ni el mejor orador conjugar

Una mujer con sombrero
Como un cuadro del viejo Chagall
Corrompiéndose al centro del miedo
Y yo, que no soy bueno, me puse a llorar
Pero entonces lloraba por ti
y ahora lloro por verla morir

Alltagsbericht für Thomas...oder besinnliches zum Feiertag

Also ich bin noch immer hier und vermeide es mit allen mir zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln irgendwie produktiv für meine Diplomarbeit auch nur ansatzweise irgendetwas zu tun... aber mittlerweile ist mir klar geworden, dass das ziemlich normal zu sein scheint. So hege ich noch immer die Hoffnung, dass sich das noch irgendwann ändern wird.
Nachdem ich gestern meiner Tante alle "Spanien ist so toll" Geschichten erzählt habe, wurde dann zu spät nächtlicher Stunde ein neuer Brauch in der Wohngemeinschaft Stefan-Hofi/Thomas begründet: das nationalfeiertags bleigiesen mit nachherigem wir patzen den Schas auf den Küchentisch und schauen was passiert. Waren aber recht nette Ergebnisse... für mich sah natürlich alles aus wie Fische, aber bitte.
Heute dann den ganzen Tag damit verbracht 80er Jahre Schinken im Nachmittagsprogramm von ATV (sind die jetzt mit oder ohne +?) zu verfolgen und am Abend dann von Mütterchen bekochen lassen. So, somit hab ich mein beschauliches zum Feiertag beigetragen.

NOTICIAS....

So I´m sitting here waiting for posts... but there was something good about starting the blog: Today and yesterday I received quite some news of people I haven´t heard since I´m back - Carol I´m sorry I couldn´t respond your MSN message, I was just heading out, and Elena: I really think I can understand about your Seville Experience; coming back to a place where you used to live and just see that the people you´ve been living, growing and enjoying with just aren´t there... what strange impression it might be.
Today I was activating my SKYPE Account- how great this inventions of technology that allow us to stay in touch with the whole world. Anna was at my place and we made kind of a "Triana Revival Night"... we´ve been watching TV and had some Chinese Food. Strange about it was that it needed much more time to be delivered than in Spain- altough the Austrians have the reputation to be better organized. Anyway that´s not the point... We´ve been talking to Aurora and Inma... the best people to live with when you just arrived in Spain... and they were telling us that they spent the last weekend at the beach... for austrian girls this was a pretty good reason to get nostalgic...but in quite some time we will get used to the coldness... well at least that´s what everyone tells us.
Hey and I wasn´t forgetting it:
MONICA... que suerte tienes mujer, como me allegro parati. Espero que todo se queda así como es en este mismo momento. Pues despues de todas las vueltas y la montana rusa de emociones te lo has merecido, pero un monton. Te echo de menos que no veo... y tambien las noches de las (son)risas locas y las cervezas en el central. Cuida la estrella de la Suerte, Guapa!

Adios Sevilla... a new life in Vienna

So I should be working and reading a lot for my dissertation, but there is always someone online and allthough I´m once again integrated in austrian social life it costs a lot not to think about all the great people I have been meeting during the last years... so basically I thought instead of beeing writing e-mails all the time I could start a blog and you just keep on posting about how you are doing and all that stuff. At least decided to write in english... but everyone of you knows... you also can post in german or spanish and there won´t be any problem. So I´m fine. Struggling to finish my studies, working a lot... and as some of you know I might be back to Seville soon... alltough it might be only for a couple of weeks... in spring.
