Ay que joderese... Aeropuerto de Casablanca, Marruecos = free wifi
El Prat T1, Catalunya (aunque creo aventurar que en el resrto de terminales es igual) = no money, no cookies.

¿De que sirve tener una terminal preciosa maravillosa si no hay enchufes y wifi -o alguna zona habilitada- y en cambio en este aeropuerto tirando a cutre (porque lo es, las cosas como son) sí que te permiten conectarte (o yo lo he hecho al menos...)?

One of the oh-so-many Spanish guest of the hotel I'm staying in has asked me this evening if still nobody has tried to buy me in exchange for some camels. The question is one of the most common jokes about women and North-African countries. But just that you know, the answer is no; no one has try to buy me (although usually they ask to some male companion which in my case it's not possible at all ^^). Although every young Moroccan who has come to talk with me knew all the Barça players, and all of them were in love with Barcelona LOL They even said the classic "FORÇA BARÇA!" Figures...

And for the Criminal Minds fan^^ ansera has initiated a KINK MEME POST, so go there to post a request and answers some of the request in exchange!!! I have some ideas but I know I shouldn't do it^^ Need to finish the cm_exchange fic first!!! (btw, I see some progress, four more scenes and I'm done!!!)

I'm at the airport, in the new and shiny T1 and there's no any free wireless available! I can't believe it! We feel oh so proud of ourselves about this new terminal but a basic service as a free wireless network is not available. In the end I've found a promotion of free 15 minutes, but what the hell! Barcelona has its "hot spots" with a free wifi but at the airport you need to pay for it. GGGRRRRRRRRRRR...
Going to my gate, time go board!!!

I've got some holidays days that I haven't spent yet, and as my boss said "better to spend them all now than just half of them in December". So here we go, holidays again. Problem is I can't conceive holidays at home, I need to go somewhere, so I checked flight prices and after several options and a lot of thought I decided to have a go to Morocco. Just Casablanca and Marrakesh, I might be a bit brave about travelling alone but I'm not so irresponsible to go through some forgotten part of the desert on my own.

I'm quite happy^^ I had a great weekend in Valencia with aviss , gaia_naturae , pak_el , some other friends without an LJ account and darkmoona (the birthday girl of the weekend) and now I'm leaving in 20 minutes to the airport. It's going to be a relaxing holiday, lot of sleep, lots of relaxing time, and some writing to do. Let's see if I like it there as much as I think I will

I saw this in enmuse lj and I thought it would be a fun meme to do while writing the cm_exchange fic of doom.
I know I shouldn't be wasting my time like that, but I'm a bit stuck right now so sue me, yada yada^^

Favorite character: Reid because he is oh!so-funny and Hotch, I adore how intense he can get.
Least favorite character: Gideon
Character with the best hair: Mmmmm... I have different candidates^^ Most beautiful hair is for JJ, most funny is for Garcia, most loved hair is obviously Reid's and the one I would love to have was Elle's haircut when she came back after being shot, it was cute as hell.
Character with the best eyes: Reid's because they are amazingly expressive
Character I'd most want to kiss: M: Reid // F: Emily Prentiss (how can this woman be so perfect even being not perfect at all? Really, it's astonishing)
Character I'd most likely shag: Mmmm... for and absolutely mind-blowing shag, Morgan of course. For something more, Reid^^ And once he is on his right mind again, Hotch, because if his dedication in bed is as good as he is at work, damn! He has to be amazing.
Character I'd make lunch for: Reid, he's so thin, he needs to eat more, maybe with some cookies while he drinks coffee he would get healthier. And Hotch, because I'm of the impression since he divorced Haley he is eating only pre-cooked meals and take away.
Character I'd go singing in the rain with: Reid, he would get all wet and I like him that way LOL
Character I'd go shopping with: Garcia, look at her wardrobe!
Character I'd go dancing with: Elle, she seemed fun enough to go on holidays with Morgan.
Character I'd take over the world with: Hotch, we would be the perfect match ^^
Character I most want to see more of: Hotch and Reid. And I would love to know what the hell is Elle doing with her life.
Favorite het pairing: I like Rossi/Prentiss but I have to concede that this season so far the Hotch/Pretiss are having amazing moments, so I suppose I like it too. I've even reed some fics about them.
Favorite slash pairing:  100% Hotch/Reid girl here. Even if right now I'm writing Morgan/Reid...

Se lo vi posteado a eratoirae y no me he podido resistir. Aunque a mi no me suena muy acertado que digamos, yo sigo creyendo que en una vida interior fui un sherpa que trabajaba como porteador en las expediciones de los exploradores occidentales. Cualquiera que  me conozca y vea lo sumamente cargada que voy a todas partes entenderá el porqué de dicha afirmación. Si no llevo lo mínimo un par de kilos en el bolso no me siento completa, es como si me faltara algo, como si fuera desnuda. Así que no acabo de tener claro lo de la cocinera rusa, qué queréis que os diga, no me siento afín. A lo de cocinera al menos. Mujer rusa, sí. Acuario, me da bastante igual. Creativa y con afición a hurgar en libros: oh hell yeah!
Pues eso, ahí queda.

Wanna try?

PD: en mi vida siguiente me pido gata doméstica. Todo el día a la bartola, del sofá al cojín, persiguiendo sun patches por el suelo para tumbarme a regocijarme en mi felicidad gatuna, aaahhhh... la buena vida^^

EDIT: me aburro, así que he probado con nombre Duare Palas, y sigue sin salirme sherpa pero se acerca muuuucho más a la realidad creo yo.

No sé cómo te sientas al respecto Duare, pero parece que tú fuiste hombre en tu última encarnación. Tu signo zodiacal en esa vida era Acuario.

Maths and language support classes to other students while I was in high school.

Gaaahhh, shitty day. My leg hurt, my head is killing me, and my muse is bitching away (as you could imagine, I haven't written my 1000 words/day)
Only good thing is been the V episode, wooww!

I love Google, I love the way the look at the net, they non-stop creativity, they dynamic and practical applets that make me squee like a fangirl.
And of course I would love to work in a place like Google, seriously, have any of you seen the pictures of one of their offices in some random email that is running around the net? I think they were from the Ginevra's office. Awesome!

Anyway, a research group from the UB has developed this new applet from Google Earth images. You write a name a they send you the name composed by Google Earth's images

The result: (duare)



I know, I'm a sucker for that kind of silly stuff^^

Uuuoooohhh!! I'm so looking forward to watch it, I hope it is at least half as good of series as BSG re-imagined was. I don't remember that much of the plot original show (I remember the basics and playing as a kid to V's war between human and lizards -I was Diana LOL-) and I preferred that way so I would avoid the obvious comparison.
What I can already say is that I like this new look better, the eighties look was good at that time but now it give me the creeps, really (yeah, not a big fan of eighties clothes and look here)



Crossing fingers

I'm what you could call a tea-girl. I love tea, black strong tea lightly flavoured. Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Ceilan, Darjeeling, English/Irish/Scottish breakfast...   No any of those flowered fruity infusions that some people call wrongly tea,  give me real true tea and I'm a happy girl.
No sugar, no milk, no honey and omg-how-could-you-do-that-to-any-good-tea no saccharine!! Sometimes, a bit of lemon is alright, specially after lunch, but just one slice please.
All that said, since I'd began working at 8 am I stated a new tradition: large hot mug of coffee with just one sugar, please.
I'm not a good coffee drinker, all my purism and traditionalism in tea is nonexistence in coffee. I prefer filtered coffee than espresso, the larger the better. I'm what here in Spain we call "americano"-coffe girl. And I'm grown quite used to drink  my daily mug of coffee (with just one sugar, please) every morning while I switch on the computer, check the email and have small chit chat with my coworkers... It's a really nice routine^^

So when you arrive one morning, being first one to arrive which means that  you make the coffee pot and there's no coffee at all, you really don't know if is better to start crying, kill someone or cut your wrist. Plus you need to answer to each and every one of your coworkers that "no, the pot is not ready because there's no coffee, because the last person doing the pot the day before forgot to tell about the no-coffee-problem" because they all look at you with murderous eyes and it's not your f*cking fault.

Coffee and work issues is really a whole world, sometime I'll write something about that, actually my mind is replaying that same situation on the CM world with the awesome CM characters and LOL, big LOL really^^

And that's been the random fact of the day, no coffee make my coworkers dull coworkers, but at least I had some good Twining's English Breakfast tea.

No boss at work and no weird coworker in the next table, so free day doing my job while checking the email and reading the random fic I decided to copy on a text file the night before.
For some unknown reason the title "To kill a mockingbird" has been in my mind all the bloody day, wondering about the plot which I couldn't remember (not that I'd read the book but I'm sure I've watched the movie) and debating and arguing with myself (my two other self actually^^: me and myself) if mocking bird is called "ruiseñor" in Spanish or not (the other option was "colibrí" but I don't remember any movies titled "Matar a un colibrí"). Both questions could have been solved with some easy google but sometimes I'm that stubborn, so all day with that stuff on my mind.
Thankfully, my mom remembered the plot movie, and I've checked imdb, so now I know the plot (even if I really don't remember it) and I've confirmed that  mockingbird and ruiseñor are both names of the same specie Mimus polyglottos a very enlightening name about some very particular characteristics of tht bird.

Por otro lado esta tarde he tenido el gusto de tomar un café (com eufemismo de "quedemos y vayamos a tomar algo, lo que sea realmente da igual, es una excusa simplemente") con sirem que está en Barcelona de visita, y con ladyvoldie and luciferssin . Aunque antes he de decir para mi propia satisfacción que he estado unos 40-50 minutos escribiendo hasta que fuera la hora a la que habíamos quedado, woohoooo!!! (quizás porque no tenía ninguna red wifi disponible? Maight be that...). Me lo he pasado francamente bien, nos hemos reído y como siempre que conozco a alguien del fandom sin una previa larga y extensa relación vía email/msn me he sorprendido de lo fácil que es hablar y pasar un buen rato con gente a quienes casi no conoces de nada. Es maravilloso ver como el "Dios las cría y ellas se juntan" se aplica tan pero que tan bien a todo el mundo que hasta el momento he tenido el placer de cruzar mi camino.

Twice a year an incommensurable fear overwhelm me, both times mark a very particular event: seasonal clothes relocation.
Pack and put away winter or summer clothes till next year and get out the contrary seasonal clothes from the boxes I packed them the previous year, so I can keep them in the wardrobe.
An absolute nightmare.
Oh the horror, oh the fear!! The doom of my days!

¿Puede dejar de llover ya en Barcelona pretty please? Estoy segura de que la inmensa cantidad de agua que ha ido cayendo a lo largo de todo el día habría sido mucho más apreciada en otro lugar.
Soooo, no more cats and dogs or any other pets falling from the sky please (insert puppy eyes Ç_Ç )

I'm sick, it's pretty usual for me in this time of the year to get a cold or maybe a a flu, nothing new under the sun here.
But this year with this absurd fear for the influenza A my doctor made me an antibiotics prescription (which I don't understand why 'cos antibiotics don't kill virus and influenza is clearly a viral disease) and told me to "stay home for a few days". That was Monday, and I'm going today gain  because I'm feeling a bit better, and well enough to go to work. I never though I would say that but... I'm bored at home!!! And I think I can stay in front of the computer long enough to do my job (yesterday I couldn't, more than an hour and my head wanted to explode).
Oh! And the most hilarious thing was watching the doctor and her student  changing their  rubber gloves every time they touch me 8after and before they cleaned their hands with and alcoholic solution), and looking at me with that ridiculous mask that Japanese people wears all the time. I know they want to be as careful as possible and don't take any risk but came on! I don't even think I had the normal and old flu, really. I know myself and this was just a cold, and not even a strong one!
I hope they let me go tomorrow to work, it's sad I know, but one more day at home I'll start breaking stuff just to "do something".

Just two quick notes:

El maravilloso pak_el nos ha hecho ya el header para la comunidad aisinfronteras , sooo tenemos nuevo look al que aunque lo vamos a retocar y modificar, en general va a ser el que se quede.
Por otro lado, estamos buscando gente que se ofrezca a hacer de beta y/o pinch-hitter, así que si os interesa leeros este post y mandadnos un correo "eléctrico".

As an additional note, I hate to enrol myself in online courses that later deceive me if I think about the money I've paid for, and writing as I am lately in English too, I feel a bit confused with my new tri-language's immersion.

I've just watched the first episode of Flashforward, so far so good. They've picked up my attention and I don't dislike any character with just one episode (on the contrary!) so it looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
People is saying all around the net  that  FW is the new Lost, I really hope that's not the case. I'm not the biggest Lost fan and I don't have any problem or shame about telling or writing that (ei! I'm in my own right to have a different opinion, you know).
I'm crossing fingers for a better TV show and hopefully with coherent script-writers that won't go on and on and on and on just for the good audiences as has happened to a bunch of promising series. One amazing season, maybe two and a perfect ending, am I asking for too much? I suppose you could say that... But ei, a girl can wish!
What I'm enjoying more about that show is how Cuatro is working just one episode behind from the US, and that's pretty cool. So tank you very much and let's hope Flasforwar doesn't fail all the great expectations people is giving it.

By the way, Demetri didn't have any vision of his own-6-months-in-the-futur-self because his soul is reecarnating a lot forward in the futur, around the XXIII century, on the body of a well known Lt. Hikari Sulu LOL

Back from Japan, why holidays pass so fucking fast? We had the time of our lives and I hope to post some pics in the not so far future, meanwhile you can aviss LJ as she went on posting while we were there (I was too lazy, not any surprise here).
But now I'm back to all the stuff I left on stand by, like work, studies, meetings and fandom. So now there are lots to things to prepare if the worst happens (like folk just being they usual unpunctual as always) and  I'm also in a strongly need to get on a Morgan/Reid mood but my minds is just stuck with the Hotch/Reid phase of my new addiction. So here I am, wasting precious time I should be using in... reading some papers from that course I'm supposed to be doing about GIS and EIA maybe? Instead I'm reading whatever has been posted in morganreid_cm since it was created.
All that, plus the feeling I'm getting sick = welcome to reality darling, not as bad as Hotel California but near enough.

PS: Ciminal Minds premier, just awesome! My gods how  the scrpt-writters are going to make us suffer! The Smallville premier was kind of "squeee-gorgeous-Chloe!!! squeee-shirtless-Oliver!!! and WTFH?????"

Me niego a actualizar el netbook por estos lares, así que vamos a postear esto por aquí.
Tercer día y a parte de frío, todo estupendo. Hemos hecho ya Ghibli, Monte Fuji y paseado por varios barrios de Tokyo, mañana nos largamos hacia Kyoto, y a la vuelta ya veremos el resto de cosas de Tokyo.
Sigo sin conseguir que los WC me saquen el aire caliente y estoy pasando un frío... como que nos hemos tenido todas que comprar unas sudaderas de esas de souvenirs para sobrevivir en el Fujisan (monísimas que ibamos todas, oyes!) Y encima por aquí todo el mundo con las mascarillas puestas! En el avión, en el metro, por la calle, ¡por todas partes!

Pues eso, un par de fotos porque aquí todas posteando en sus blogs, lj y facesbooks y me da envidilla ;P

Hello there!
A bit of self pimping pretty please^^ The thing is, I'm at least on holidays, and that means it's time to go to Japan, yoohoooo!!!
Some of  my fellow-companions of adventures are using a blogger to post some news from  Japan, aviss is going to use her LJ  and I've just decides tu use my other account: byebye_duare
Soooo, if you want to go on reading about what we are doing, what we are visiting or just to watch some pics before we come back, you can go directly to my other journal as I'm using it as a travel online-notebook.
I'll be wrting as much as time and connectivity allows me and it'll be in Spanish. Once I'll be back I'll write a long and nice post here with a selection of the best pictures.

So you know, you can still check on me at byebye_duare !!!

Y para las fandomeras del AI, no worries ^^ que sólo nos largamos aviss y yo, gaia_naturae volvió ayer de vacaciones y se encargará ella de todo todito en nuestra ausencia. ¡Sed buenas y esperad en breve vuestras asignaciones!

OMG!! I can't believe myself, I've just signed up to the CM Christmas Exchange at cm_exchange !!
I'm so exited^^ I feel like a kid with new shoes (naahhhh, I feel like myself buying a new pair of Vialis LOL). I kind of terrified too, but I hope that between the beta work from aviss  and some extra beta the co-mod could provide me the fic would be good enough to reach a decent level.
Now I just need to wait till the 22nd (by the way, I'll be in Japan hohohohohoooo) and start writing!
