Fuck Every Hipster: Conor Oberst Is An Asshole →
fuckeveryhipster:
So when I was in high school I dated a girl that loved Conor Oberst. And she didn’t just “love” Conor Oberst like I love pizza. She loved Conor Oberst in the creepy way where if she met him in an alleyway she would probably let him rape her mouth. Okay, now I realize she might love him in the way…

esto no es Tokyo blues
Escribí esto hace algún tiempo que estaba cogiendo la lanzadera por primera vez para ir al pueblo de unos amigos un viernes a la noche. Estaba de un humor terrible y pensativo, tenía unas ganas increíbles de beber, y el metro me agobiaba muchísimo. Está dividido en dos partes: ida y vuelta, como metáfora para toda la noche. La primera parte e igual la mitad de la segunda fue escrita al día...
d-day (1)
Esto de pasarse la vida en tránsito – coches y peajes, autobuses, aeropuertos y trenes – convierte todo en una espera eterna. El viaje en sí nunca es la peor parte; uno puede dormirse, estudiar el paisaje, encontrar mil formas de pasar el tiempo, pero la espera sólo se convierte en una serie de excusas, pajas mentales que se vuelven inútiles para hacer pasar el tiempo más rápido. Te cansas de...

Me pica los labios, se siente en el eco duro de mi voz chillona y telefónica y me mancha la cara de gris con estos dedos frustrados. Sube, sube como los sonidos de atasco en la calle hasta las ventanas y baja, baja como el té verde y caliente muy despacio de la garganta hasta llegar al estomago, hinchándolo un poquito más. Me provoca algo de nervios, me tiemblan las manos al...

esto se me hace infinito
by Chris
Sábado siempre es el peor día. Seis días de estrés y cansancio y trabajo acumulados crean una especie de elixir mortal, como el arsénico, para el cerebro (casi siento que me sale, en gotas espesas e imaginarias, por las orejas y los huecos de los ojos). Han pasado tres horas y media, la mitad de mi jornada hoy, y debería de estar más contenta – la segunda mitad siempre se va volando, o...
wednesdays are long
Once more the bar ticking. At the beginning of time periods (the morning, the early afternoon, the last few classes) the minutes seem to disappear with astonishing speed every time I turn my head round to look at the clock in despair, but then there are times, like in the last hour or half-hour of the day – though what difference does it make in the long run? – when I can see them inching by. In...
why Chris would be a terrible architect
As a child I was, perhaps surprisingly, one of the few who never passed through the phase of wanting to become an architect; I tended to have the negative, or perhaps positive habit of focusing on small things rather than large ones, and was never able to imagine myself creating, and much less drawing up plans for something as immense – as it seemed in scale at the time – as a bus station, an...

jeudi
Atravesando mi calendario hay una barra finita con un punto rojo al final que marca las horas. Una fila cada media hora, dos por hora. Las clases están marcadas en bloques azules que indican su duración y la hora a la que empiezan, mientras que los pocos compromisos personales que aún tengo están en violeta. Burbujas cuadradas pero con las esquinas redondeadas. Llevo desde las once y media mirando...

la pesadez: el peor enemigo del profesor autónomo
En realidad, ser profesor particular fuera de una academia - en casa, por ejemplo, como es mi caso (y el de mi profesora de francés también) - tiene muchísimas ventajas como trabajo. Tengo el control directo de mi sueldo y no me quejo de lo que se me paga, vivo bien, llevo las clases de mi manera, y puedo decidir a quién ofrecer clases y a quién no hacerlo. No tengo jefe, el horario lo decido yo...

food (after days of breaking the diet)
Breakfast - A piece of Spanish carbonara potato omelette and a ridiculously large coffee.
Lunch - A frozen ham and cheese panini thing and a little mug of soup.
Dinner - A gigantic Caesar salad, a chicken hamburger with no bun and a mug of soup.
And yet, I still feel super heavy (and weigh loads) in spite of having worked out this morning. Let’s see how I’m doing tomorrow.

food diary
Today, if all goes according to plan.
Breakfast - I’m currently having a Greek yoghurt with strawberries and a caffeine- and sugar-free fruit tea when what I wish I were having is a glass of milk and a chocolate muffin like the ones I ate yesterday.
Lunch - Probably vegetable spaghetti with carbonara and mushrooms, to use up the rest of the sauce. A mini-portion, no fear.
Dinner -...
fat people's diary
Things I’ve eaten/will eat today (just to keep track of whether I’m eating well or just fooling myself):
Breakfast - A cup of English Breakfast tea (from England) with lowfat milk and three teaspoons of sugar.
Lunch - A chorizo sandwich on baguette and a mini beer from that weird place roasting meat in front of my house, as if we were in medieval times.
After-nap snack - A Coke....

temps perdu
Cette sensation de vouloir rire, pleurer et vomir en même temps; je me suis rendu de plus en plus compte que j’ai vraiment de la chance, moi. J’essaie de m’analyser, de déterminer le pourquoi des choses que je fais, d’éliminer les petites fautes (jusqu’à maintenant je n’ai fait qu’échouer, mais bon). Je me trompe toujours. Je suis une menteuse quand il faut...

sólo quiero bailar
Cette semaine a été rouge. Je viens de terminer de fumer. J’ai envie, non, pas envie - besoin de dormir, de m’échapper, d’écrire des beaux mots. J’ai besoin de l’art et de demain, de me brosser les dents. Que ferai-je après quelques mois? Je me rappelle quand j’étais au conservatoire, quand j’étais jeune et je jouais du violon.
