Yes, I'm terribly stuck with that which all authors dread but which they must face at a giving moment: Writing a Synopsis.
I've tried doing it twice today, and haven't gotten very far (not to say that it all majorly sucks and that all I've done is reread my novel-oh how lovely it is!), but now I've discovered this page which seems to have a lot of useful information:

I haven't been able to see it all, but so far it looks good so, hopefully next time I'll be able to say I have a full synopsis!

Bye Bye Russia!
After writing an 100 page project on Russian Foreign Policy I pretty much feel that I can do anything!!
And to top off this short entry a nice little song from Finnish group Sentenced:

Do you know?
"Do you know how hard it is to please? To love comes easily enough, but to please forever is a hard task."
"Is it that you don't love me then?" the Lady asked.
He could see the slight tremble in her lip, the fear in her enormous eyes, the furrow in her perfect brow.
"You know I do," he replied, bending down to kiss away the crease in her forehead, the tremble on her rosy lips.

Sometimes...
Sometimes you feel that your body is too heavy, you can't take it anymore, your mind is going to burst...and then you hear it. The first few notes of a song and something awakens inside you...there are things worth living for after all.
note: I'm still studying for exams. My mom got an operation last Tuesday. Everthing went well, she's back home, although still feeling ill, of course.

Will Smith and Gabriele Muccino
Last Monday January 12 actor Will Smith and movie director Gabriele Muccino came to my university to present their latest movie "7 pounds".
This movie, which came out in the States in December is being shown in cinemas starting today (January 16).
After previewing the movie and a few minutes of impatient waiting, Will Smith came into the auditurium embraced by applause and camara flashes. Behind him followed director Gabriele Muccino.
After the faculty's dean asked a question, the students were allowed to do the same. Unfortunately, it was the dean who was giving out the microphone and hand picking the students that were allowed to ask (he only gave the mic to the right side of the auditorium, the left side were several hands were raised -including mine- was ignored).
The first boy to ask, showed some cheek and after getting his Prince of Bel Air dvd signed, and a hug from Wll SMith, he asked his question. I don't recall all the questions that were asked, but in general...
"What would you say saves your soul?" (Smith answered that his wife, while Muccino said it was his children and being a father).
"What movie genre do you prefer?" (Comedy)
"What advice do you give to students who are pursuing a cinematographic career?"
...
I don't remember the rest, although there were only 2 or 3 more.
After that short bit, in which Will showed his friendliness, his domain of the spanish language and his good humour, they left.
It was a memorable day which left everyone in that auditorium with a big smile upon their lips.

Snow in Madrid Center
It's been more than 10 years since Madrid center suffered from a snow storm. Yesterday it all arrived unexpectedly.
I live in the outskirts of Madrid and it was not snowing. My surprise was huge when I stepped out of the subway (it was 8:45am)and saw that everything was snowed (and increasing) in the capital.
Photo taken from www.20minutos.es This is a picture of Madrid Center Sol.
Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me.

ps: Click on the comic strip to see it fully. (I have no idea why Blogger cuts half of it out >.<)
