Loosing my religon

















... and my patience too!


Avui, després de fer-los un examen als alumnes, tenia preparada una activitat basada amb R.E.M. Loosing my Religion.

Tot estava a punt, els alumnes, l'ordinador, els cables, el projector, en fi, fins que arribat al moment clau, encenc el projector, surt una llum blava projectada a la pissarra i .... tots esperavem veure-hi el famós Desktop de l'ordinador ... i res de res ... bé, he pensat, don't worry, només tens 30 alumnes pendents de tu, un divendres a les vuit del vespre, gent que estudien i treballen i han fet l'esforc de venir a classe per fer un examen, i que en aquells moment estan esperant que el maleit projector dongui la senyal correcta per poder comencar l'activitat que t'has preparat unes hores abans !!

Doncs, res de res, la llum blava continuava sent allí però 'escriptori de l'ordinador no apareixia ni en pintura ... després de molts intents i ajuts altruistes dels alumnes, he decidit plegar i dir-los 'I am really sorry but as you can see it doesn't work! So feel free to go home and have a nice weekend'


Un cop sola a la classe i amb l'ajut d'una de les meves col.legues, ho hem tornat a intentar i quina ha estat la nostra sorpres quan hem vist que:

primer: sobretot s'ha d'encendre primer el beamer i després l'ordinador, no tot alhora


segon: un cop funcioni el beamer, encén l'ordinador i llavors acciones una tecla fantàstica anomenada fn f4 (depén del laptop, és clar) que et deixa la pantalla en negre però apareix alhora comenca a projectar miraculosament el Desktop a la pissarra!!!


Murphy's Law? it might be, però la veritat és que verdaderament hem perdut 'our religion' not believeing in high technology anymore.
Per no quedar-nos amb mal gust de boca, no linkarem al 'Loosing my religion' globalment famós sinó als escocesos Franz Ferdinand, diguem que també famosos.

Enjoy it.
Cheers.

PS: xsona, sí et dono permís per linkar.

Dogville










I know you might have aleady seen it ... or not, it doesn't matter.

I saw it in Munich three or four years ago. During the first 30 minutes I was about to leave the cinema and to go home. Fortunately I did not do it, since this became the most embarassing movie I have seen in my short life so far.

Així doncs, emulians, si no sabeu on clicar, us proposo Dogville... and you tell me if you stood up and turn off the TV or if you are still thinking about the movie.
Cheers

White Flag


Hi there,

Ja sé que les comparacions són odioses i que evidentment no podem comparar la qualitat musical del Mr. Morrisey amb la de la UK girl que posem a continuació; tanmateix, tot fent el ¨will for predictions¨a classe, vaig posar-los ¨White Flag¨, la història d'amor que s'acaba, les reflexions posteriors, el 'I will go down with this ship' 'I won't surrender' and so on!!

Just relax, listen to the music and try not to be much too much involved with the lyrics.
--- the lyrics ----

I know you think that
I shouldn't still love you I'll tell you that
But if I didn't say it
Well, I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess
And destruction to come back again
And I caused but nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "It's over"
Then I'm sure that that makes sense
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
As I'm sure we will
All that was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on

Well I will go down with this ship
...

Everyday Is Like Sunday

Bon Nadal i feliç any nou!
Aquest Nadal, a part d'un pijama fantàstic i un barnús per encàrrec, m'han regalat un parell d'àlbums impressionants del Mr. Morrissey. Com que la cosa és espessa, més val anar a poc a poc i de moment m'he quedat amb aquesta cançó que ja coneixeu.

Apa doncs, a disfrutar-la!
Morrissey - Everyday Is Like Sunday lyrics

Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon - come armageddon!
Come, armageddon! come!
Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey
Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard :"how I dearly wish I was not here"
In the seaside town...that they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come - nuclear bomb
Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands
(and on your face...)
(on your face ...)
(on your face ...)
(on your face ...)
Everyday is like sunday
"win yourself a cheap tray"
Share some greased tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey
