A briefing of the last thirty days.

There’s nothing extraordinary. The job’s the same and my life’s the same. I did a job-interview at Loco’s company although both of us knew my profile didn’t suit his needs. Anyway, it was an opportunity for have a look on Loco’s problem. This consists of he is exhausted putting things in order and trust me: it’s a big thing although I absolutely think he can do it step by step. This was what I said to him the last day we met.

And that day I seized to visit Petra’s. My friend Juan told me about this international 2^nd hand bookshop but I couldn’t visit it until the last Wednesday and I took advantage because I bought five books. At Petra’s you can find a big variety of books classified by subject and language so if you’re interested on books in different languages with a very good price, this is your place. There’s another interesting library in Lavapiés (La Librería de Lavapiés at Argumosa, 39) but I haven’t been there yet. I will write something when I visit it.

About new TV-series and films recommendations, I must write about the British historic TV-serie “The Tudors”. It’s about Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys-Meyer), his humiliated wife Katherine of Aragon (Maria Doyle Kennedy), his lovers like Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer), his counsellor Thomas More (Jeremy Northam) and other important historic characters interpreted by very good actors like Sam Neill or Gabriel Anwar and tells the history of that time in a modern and entertaining way. In some way it follows a similar scheme to Rome but less bloody but equally sexual (if you liked the 1^st season, don’t miss the 2^nd one). In any case, see the trailer beneath.

Enjoy weekend!
