Mi destreza con el bricolaje, con la electricidad -las guitarras son una excepción-, con ese magma, no es muy agraciada, que digamos. Me acuerdo hace dos o tres o cuatro años (tengo muy buena memoria con las personas y con las canciones, pero muy mala con todos los demás asuntos), me disponía a cambiar una bombilla, conseguí una escalera, apagué los plomos, no había electricidad, era científica y racionalmente imposible... pero me dió una descarga increíble, me caí de la escalera y perdí el conocimiento durante un tiempo. Cuando lo recuperé, A.B. (mi Laurie Allen) me contó qué había sucedido, porque yo no quería recordar nada. Tengo otro ejemplo: El padre de A.B., que ahora es mi amigo pero entonces estaba probablemente preocupado por el futuro de su hija, siempre nos ayudaba a colgar los cuadros, las fotos, las estanterías... con muchas cosas. Abría su caja de herramientas y yo trataba de ser de utilidad pasándole las herramientas, conformando una cadena humana. Pero él me pedía la llave inglesa y yo le daba las tenazas, y cuando me pedía el destornillador yo le daba la herramienta más rara que encontraba, el nivel... Yo no conocía ninguna herramienta, y no conocía tampoco sus nombres, claro. Un desastre. Menos mal que sé cocinar y las cenas estaban bien.
Laszlo me pide que diga en mi diario cuáles son sus dos discos favoritos de 2006: Bonnie Prince Billy ("The Letting Go"), Joanna Newson ("Ys") y Final Fantasy ("He Poos Clouds"). Estoy seguro de que os dais cuenta de que habla de tres discos aunque también dice que ha elegido dos.
My skills with the DIY (do-it-yourself), with the electricity (guitars are an exception), with that magma, are not very gifted, so to speak. I remember two or three or four years ago (I got very good memory with people and songs, but very bad with most of the other businesses), I was going to set out a light bulb, I got a ladder, and I turned down the fuses, there was no electricity, it was impossible scientific and rationally... but I got an incredible electric discharge, I fell down the ladder and lost consciousness for a while. When I regained it, A.B. (my Laurie Allen) told me what had happened, because I didn't want to remember anything. I got another example: A.B.'s father, who is my friend now but then he was probably afraid of the future of his daughter, always helped us to hang up the paintings, the pictures, the bookcases... with many things. He used to open the toolbox and I tryed to be useful giving him the tools, making a assembly line. But when he asked me for the adjustable spanner I took the pliers, and when he asked me for the screwdriver I took the strangest tool I found, the level... I didn't know anything about tools, and I didn't know their names either, of course. A disaster. Thank goodness I know how to cook so the dinners were ok.
Laszlo asked me to talk on my diary about which are his two favourite records of 2006: Bonnie Prince Billy ("The Letting Go"), Joanna Newson ("Ys") and Final Fantasy ("He Poos Clouds"). I'm sure you realize he talks about three records although he also says that he had chosen two.
