Water music

The concert just ended. Very nice indeed!! :) The water music from Handel was really good. I'm glad I came. I didn't remember how nice a live classical concert actually was.

Found the wine!

The talk was excellent and I wished Kalil was here with me to listen to the music professor explain the history behind the music that will be played. It does provide a better perspective of what will hear. Another good news was that I found the bar. :)

BSO but no wine

I arrived a bit early here for the presentation of the BSO. My hope was to watch the talk they have before the presentation but also maybe drink a glass of wine. No wine here! The place is actually nice however my seat is so close that I feel I'm setting under the orchestra. Actually if one of the musicians on my side decide to fart it will go almost in my face. I hope they had a good lunch. LOL. I see that there was a reason for ticket to the cheapest. You always get what you pay for. I should have known.

Man vs Woman: The Differences

A colleague here showed me a video from Italy about the differences between Man and Woman. It is quite clever actually. Here is the video.



In fact, this director makes some very interesting cartoons. This other one is a comparison between Italy and the rest of Europe. The same video could be applicable to Brazil. They only had to change the flag from Italy to Brazil.



If you want to see more, just search for Bruno Bozzetto on YouTube or go to his website.
Here is just one more about how to drive  (not)  :-)

T on the weekend

I don't know what is going on here but the T today is really really busy. I never got it like that. Maybe there is something going on in the city and I'm just not aware of. Anyway, I'm on my way to work.

Slow day

I'm happy Sarah got the car fixed. Today I'll take a bit easy. I'm having lunch at the Indian restaurant close to the house. After I'll go to work and later tonight go to the BSO.

Never again!

OMG! This was cold. I'm home now but I'm not sure I'll do this again.  First it isn't as close as I thought and second it is colder than I thought. At least I saved $10 and not all is lost. Tomorrow I can use that money to go to a restaurant. I'm about to fall asleep. Good night. Talk to you in the morning. Sarah please no more flat tires. LOL.

Cold is here....

I'm going to try to walk now on -17C for about half a hour. I think I'll  be okay. I'll tell you tomorrow.
