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 love me some Zara.

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.

So it turns out that this thing is actually climbable. And this is what you see when you look down.

"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.

This thing just creeps the hell out of everyone.

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.

Lisa/Pokélisa, one of Leyla's wonderful roommates.
