I like that whenever I feel a bit down I can go to pretty beaches and observe surfers for hours.

Our rented car (the dark, parked one, obviously) is making me want to learn how to drive.

I went rock-hopping in Cascais today. After the tenth time of nearly-slipping-and-breaking-my-neck I stopped counting.
It was awesome.

Sintra in the dark. And foggy-rain. Which kinda spoiled the views but created other interesting ones.

These towers are still my favourite buildings in Lisbon, for some reason.
When I grow up I'ma live there.
Or not.

"Siegfried's Tod", at Lisboa's opera building São Carlos, was a screening of the 1922-24 German silent movie Siegfried's Tod, by Fritz Lang. Music was provided by the Carolina Eyck Quintet. (Synthesizer, electric guitar, percussion, contrabass and theremin/violin.)
After which I waited around like a little stalker so I could say hi to Carolina Eyck. To which she replied with "We're going to have dinner now, would you like to join us?"
Coming to Portugal = Good career/life move.

So. I met Carolina Eyck today. And she's awesome.
I'm sure her brother is awesome too, but he's a lousy photographer. :p

You can't really see on this picture, but the street is called Rua das Pretas. Or "Street of the Niggers".
That's just hilarious, isn't it?

So I had the very bright idea today of informing my roommate Saumya that staying over in Caldas is always so very nice, because they're three girls in the apartment who go to school together and everything, and consequentially make and eat dinner together every evening.
To which he said "Ooh, that is cool, let's do that too." We promptly informed João, the other roommate, of this cunning plan.
It is probably worth videotaping and editing to make a best-selling YouTube sitcom.
Because. Y'know. This works when your roommates are girls. But. Guys?
Anyway. Dinnertime now.

Um. This is not in fact at 7 pm but at 2 or 3 am. Slightly before I randomly declared to people I had never met in my life that I was going to make a porn movie. To which they all more or less replied "Ooooooh, I'm in Sound and Image, I can help with that!"
Leyla is wearing googlesh. Not goggles. No. Googlesh.
I think we were all slightly drunk.

I have no idea what this is, only that it's on the way from my apartment to Seven Rivers of Leviathan (aka Sete Rios) from which I went to Caldas da Rainha again for a week of wild partying.

For your enjoyment: Greensleeves.
I thought I'd be better by now.
I mean it's been two weeks.

Marquês de Pombal, after which we went to see Cabaret. In Portuguese. But it was still cool.

No flashy picture today. I haven't done anything but theremin-practice for the past three days.

It's my theremin. I call him Thierry.
It's demotivating to not be able to play a pure note after five hours of messing around with it.

Bad picture, but that's what happens when you take pictures with your cellphone from inside a speeding bus. Crossing the bridge from Lisbon to Setubal, where my theremin was waiting.

Restauradores, where we went for a walk after seeing the awesome movie Reel Zombies at the final day of MOTELx. Had a lovely talk with the two very nice directors, and took the opportunity to shove a Zombie Walk Lisboa flyer in their hands.

MOTELx, the Lisbon horror film festival, at Cinema São Jorge, a lovely old-style cinema that has been put out of use except for film festivals since the uprising of multinational cinemas in every shopping mall.
I might go again. Also I am wet. Because apparently, sometimes it rains here too.

After about two hours of looking for this place (starting out from Baixa all the way to Entrecampos, telling a newspaper salesman "Procuro Campo Grande." while standing right next to the street sign saying "Campo Grande", because that's how stupid I am) I found it, took a ticket, and spent 20 minutes with a lady who does not at all seem to like her job and a very uncooperative printer. But there you have it. I am now officially licensed to stay in Portugal until the 10th of October, 2011.
