In the transition from unemployed to employed and from home to work, I have missed many things and gained others. I am always worried about surviving the traffic and that the office’s toilet paper can survive the day too. I come back home at nearly 10pm and I may have some minutes to talk to my parents before go to bed.
I rely on Internet to stay up-to-date with the latest news nowadays. 3 events got me surfing for a while. One of them is The Australian Open, don’t think that I’m obsessed or anything like that, is just that some games happened while I was sleeping or on the way to work so I had to check the results at its official site. The men single’s finals are at 4:30am so either me or dad will be watching in case we can wake up at that time.
Also, the Oscar nominations, I’m really surprised since I haven’t heard of most of the nominated movies, or probably I did while they were in production but I’m not even going to elaborate how horrible is that, considering that I’ve always been an enthusiast, but I guess now it’s all about the quality of the movies and the talented people involved not about who is the big box-office name or fandom hearthrob attached to them….with the exception of Johnny Depp who is very good and has many fans. And I check out Sundance Film Festival reports, reviews, blog entries, etc, especially if there’s a new movie that I’ve been following since it’s production, such as Pretty Bird and Downloading Nancy, I guess they got mixed reviews but many indepedent movies are hard to understand and watch.
Oh I forgot, now I’m looking for a good on-line music station, since I’m bored of the local ones that play the same 80’s hits over and over. I listen to npr.org to discover new stuff and Nova for its dance music selections and it loads fast. last.fm, is my favorite tool to listen to new and favs but I’m not allowed to load it at work.
So…any advice?
