One more weird color combination try, today. It's amazing how easier it is to choose the colors when you have a color chart at your disposal, instead of typing 173843 and see how it turns out.
Just checked it now, and it's not as weird as I had expected. Going to try again, tomorrow.
Today the bus companies had a strike. So Danilo woke me up and said "You have to go pick Maria up". Why do I have to go, I asked. He answered, "Because my ride is coming!". It's amazing how he thinks he has a frequency priority, which means that if either I or he should miss a class to do something in the morning, he thinks that of course I am the one who should do it, because his classes are Oh So Important and mine aren't.
So there I went, barely awakened, to go pick Maria. Then I went back home. Since I missed my ride (which is the same of Danilo's, by the way), and there were no buses available, I decided to wait for my aunt, who also studies there, to go so I could go with her. When it was 10:30 am I decided to go check if there were any vans who were replacing the buses. No problem in missing the classes, the problem is that if I took any longer I'd probably also miss the choir's rehearsal, what I didn't want to.
I caught a van, went to the rehearsal, and then after having lunch with the guys from the choir I went to work. I have to do corrections now, which is even more boring than cataloguing the sites.
At five I left my job, and went to the bus stop hoping to find a van in which to go home. There was a woman signaling for a ride, and a car stopped. The woman asked if the driver could take her downtown, but the driver said no, because she was going to Castelo. Which is exactly where I live. So I asked if I could go instead, and the driver said sure. So I went back home and didn't spend I single penny! The driver was pretty cool, we did smalltalk all the way to Castelo.
I was supposed to study Calculus, but I did nothing instead.
It's amazing how now that I've given up my old site, "Question! Homepage", people start writing me telling they found it out and liked it a lot. Most of them are people who like Tori Amos, and looked for it in Cadê?, a Brazilian search engine. Believe it or not, mine is the only Tori Amos page in Portuguese in the whole wide world!! Woo-hoo!!!
There's one more of Grant Morrison's pearls of wisdom which I must put here:
"I'm constantly struck by the sheer volume of written instruction in the world. There's writing everywhere! It's on the streets, it's on the food we eat, it's on the little tags that indentify plant species in the park. and not only is instruction everywhere in our world, we're much more inclined to obey what we read when it's written by 'professionals' (billboars, road signs, newspapers, using recognized lettering fonts), rather than 'vandals' (Freestyle sign-writers who tend to use spray cans and homemade fonts)."
Which is true, if you think about it.
