…now that I’m officially done with this semester of school I feel like I can actually step away from mi Espanol libro y classe and see what else is happening around me. I have a long over-due date with free-time.
Me: “Hello world, how ya’ doing?”
World: “I’m great, Neve, thanks. I’ve missed you though.”
Me: “Yes. I know. I’ve missed you too. How can I make it up to you, baby?”
World: “I’ll think of something.”
Me: “Sounds intriguing. Should I come over?”
World: “Yes.”
My social life has suffered greatly because of my heavy work load these past few months, but I’m ready to get back into the social saddle and hopefully spend some of this extra free time by reading, writing and catching some fabulous flicks this summer, like these two gems below that I’m currently re-arranging my new free-time schedule around so I can see them:
Gigante: Uruguay/Argentina/Germany/Spain, 2009, Adrián Biniez -
While working his usual night shift, a shy, lonely, 35-year-old supermarket security guard falls for a 25-year-old cleaning woman he spots on a store surveillance camera. He continues to watch and follow her—at the store, to the cinema, to the beach, even when she’s on a date with another man. But will he ever speak to her? This unpretentious gem won three major awards at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival.
And
Britain, 2009, Jon Amiel-
Real-life couple Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly play Mr. and Mrs. Charles Darwin in “CREATION”, a new period drama by British director Jon Amiel (The Singing Detective, Sommersby). In the movie the famed naturalist tries to strike a balance between his revolutionary theories on evolution and the relationship with his devoutly religious wife, who doesn’t share his beliefs.
Free, free, free

Muy bien, Señorita.
Enjoy your freedom!
Jealous! Just got home from class myself a bit ago. There just aren’t enough hours in the day, sister. Have fun & go craaaazzzzyyyy!
Gracias, mi amigo, Craig. Tu’ tambien.
Gina!
I haven’t had a chance to really talk to you - you go 100 miles per hour like I do. I know you’re in school too, but I’m not sure what you’re studying. I’m sure you’re rock’n those school halls girl with your fun, love’n personality!
Let’s catch up soon, chica!!
LOL, I love the conversation between you and “World”!
Also, now I have the Grass Roots’ “Sooner or Later” going through my head (”It’s just a question of TIME before you make up your MIND …”)
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for laughing. Yes, having conversations with intangible objects that are far bigger than me is one of my specialities.
Now, I when I think of It’s just a question of time, I think of “It’s just a question of time/before they land their hands on you/And make you like the rest/I’ve got to get to you…” by Depeche Mode.
Grass Roots? ?Que pasa?
I’m glad you asked–fun video version here, which I’ve never seen before:

Jeremy,
Oh, of course! I’ve heard that before. It’s been a minute, but yes, very fun and catchy…and um, I’m sorry my blog post put that into your repetitive brain waves. Are you still singing the tune?
Yeah, but I don’t mind. I showed the video to Helia a little while ago, so now it’ll probably be in my head for a week. : )
Oh, boy, now the two’s of you’s (courtesy of the movie, My Cousin Vinney) will be singing and tapping your feet! I love that song though. It’s very happy and up-lifting, me thinks. Thank you for sharing, J.
