My Bro is Here

[dotinthesky]

Yes... he arrived on Tuesday morning. He's been feeling very weirded out by the loads of different people he sees on the street. I bet he feels the same way I felt when I left Londrina for London. I've also heard that some cousins of mine from Corrego do Bom Jesus are here somewhere, and they might even call me.

Martin brought a copy of Trip with him (it has that girl from Casa dos Artistas on the cover) My interview with Morcheeba is only the size of a third of the page, but I was still very happy and proud. Even if it was the last thing I did, I'm happy it happened and I got to hear such a beautiful cd before it was out in the shops...

Today, I am taking Martin shopping for some used CDs and also to my work to meet Lucy, the girl I share an office with. She's the one that leant me Northern Lights, by Philip Pullman... it's a brilliant book. Meire, if you want you can go by my apt and ask my mom to borrow it. We have a copy there and I'm sure there's nobody reading it...

by the way, what is everyone reading right now?

I just finished reading Neuromancer by William Gibson.
I adored it, it was a bit high tech and I admit I skimmed over some words since certain areas went over my head as I am not a total cyber-geek; but the story line was fascinating.
I guess it was like the handbook for cyberpunks back in the day when hacking was a new adventure.
What amazes me is that it was written in the early 80s, and it seems so many of todays internet catch phrases came from this book's inspiration.

When I first moved to London, I was shocked by how everyone seemed to look alike.
I guess being in America there are soo many versions of people around, that seeing so many English people with only speckles of other nationalities around kinda threw me for a loop.
I did like all the different little subcultures that seemed to thrive in London though.
