I’ve seen Avatar yesterday. In English & 3D. Again at the Yelmo Cineplex, a very popular cinema around foreigners here, because they play not-dubbed movies. Avatar is a really cool movie and I think we have a lot to learn from it. Especially the fact that everything should be plug-n-play and that there shouldn’t be any compatibility issues. Just like things worked on Pandora. Heard that, Microsoft? Compatibility is good!
Come on, wouldn’t be cool if you can plug your arm embedded computer into your dog’s head and program it to go outside and walk itself? Just use your hand as a more high-tech Na’vi braid to connect with your dog. Your pokemon-dog at least. Although I think that the Japanese are getting there really fast.
I recommend Avatar as a “must see” movie to everybody. But especially for the Spaniards, they will love it: the capitalistic money obsessed polluters get their asses kicked by the socialist environmentalist blue aliens.
I also went to eat at a Syrian restaurant called Ugarit. The food is basically the same as you find in Lebanese restaurants, decent but kind of expensive. Especially the baklava style deserts that are really small – one bite each – and cost 1.5 euros. For some shawarma, desert and a beer I had to pay around 20 euros.
And, of course, yersterday I’ve took the time and admired one of Barcelona’s least known touristic attractions: hot German chicks in thongs playing volleyball on the beach. In February.
Barcelona has announced its candidature for the 2022 Winter Olympics Games and everybody here is making fun of this, since it almost never snows in Barcelona. Or, perhaps, Barcelona’s mayor knows something that has eluded Al Gore so far, called global cooling, because if the median temperature doesn’t drop greatly in the next 12 years, I don’t see how the Winter Olympics can be held in Barcelona. It’s a very warm city (in the winter)!
