Jorge Drexler

Acabo de descubrir el cantautor uruguayo Jorge Drexler. Me dijo una compañera de chat que estaba escuchando su música, y desde entonces, lo he investigado. Lo que me llamó primeramente la atención fue su suave manera de hablar y cantar. Y habla de cosas importantes, profundas. La primera canción que escuché empezó hablando de los primeros humanos. Otra trata de los varios modos de comunicación. Además, vi un TED Talk por él, sobre la décima, una forma de poesía en español. Me gusta su música producida con instrumentos simples. Ya sé que Drexler es un famoso en el mundo hispanohablante, pero la verdad es que nunca había escuchado nada de él. Para mí, llegar a conocer a artistas como él es otro beneficio de aprender un idioma extranjero.

Frozen

Yesterday at night I dreamt with a little girl about six years old. We were at a reunion with other people in front of the sea. She held my hand to walk toward the sea while she pronounced some Spanish words. And excited I told her: "¡Oh!... hablas español!”... We get out from that place happy and in the opposite direction of the sea while we keep talking and walking some blocks until we arrived at a door that she knocked... A man opened this door getting up very quickly from his chair... looked at my face he said “Oh!... Don’t be afraid, I’m his grandfather!”... Right away the girl swooned... He picked her up to take her to the next room, where there was a doctor. And worried they told to me: "She has been frozen for many, many years and recently we have awakened her"

The Nun

Yesterday (October 28, 2018) I had a great time with my parents, we were trying to create a costume for Halloween with stuff that we already had at home. My mother found in her warehouse a wedding dress and some other party's dresses but these were too long and uncomfortable. Then we started to search on the Internet "easy costumes" to imitate some ideas. Later we started to look inside our closets things that we could use to disguise us. We also were so excited about imagining the different costumes that we could create and how would we look like with each one of all those different costumes. After having a lot of ideas, we put together all the elements to improvise a nun costume for my mother and an Inspector costume for me. Finally, when she dressed for the first time as a nun we couldn't stop laughing. We were laughing a lot because she really looked like a nun but in a funny way. Suddenly my father joined us, finding to himself The Death costume, but It was “so scary” for me, so I got from my stuff a camper costume for him. Finally, we were all happy together because for the first time in our whole life we were satisfied with our Halloween costumes. We didn't organize a contest between us but if we had done it, in definitive, the nun would have won the award.
