I was going to post something about How We Are Hungry another time, and I still will, but it’ll be tomorrow.

Today:

1. This is the commercial I hate the most that’s on TV here. Oh man. Awful. Also awesome. The ED commercials are kinda fun, too. I think I find commercials so awful here primarily because I watch more TV. Or hear it. The jingles. Oh, the jingles.

2. My roommates are watching American History X on TV, and I’ve come in to join them. It’s still a good movie, a great movie even, but it’s so hard to watch movies dubbed in Spanish when I know how the actors should sound. This is Edward Norton! Come on! It’s also interesting to wonder how this movie is taken by Spaniards. It’s about a problem that’s viewed very differently here from in the States.

3. After tutoring this afternoon, I took the 49 bus for almost its entire route, to the Plaza de Castilla. As I kind of feared might happen, the route took a bit more than the half an hour that would’ve been okay, and I arrived at the Plaza at 20-past-seven. But I enjoyed the bus ride — I like buses because you get to watch everyone get on, and I like getting to watch the scenery pass by.

It was a really nice bus ride, me reading a bit and watching a lot. After a while, we circled some great mall, and an elderly couple got on, hunched-over and slow-moving, for the 200-meter walk from the supermarket to their apartment, I guess. It was interesting to watch.

I got off at the Plaza de Castilla. The reason I went there in the first place is for the Fundación Canal, which I mentioned the other day. But the place closes at 8 PM. It looked cool, and I was really impressed by the hugeness of the Plaza de Castilla. It was quite beautiful at night. I’m also just interested in the exhibition.
