Acabo de llegar a casa del metro, siete estaciones de ida y siete de vuelta. Parece l贸gico. Hace mucho fr铆o en Madrid hoy. Llevo pantalones negros, los vaqueros que me compr茅 en Austin hace meses. Camiseta verde, hoody negro, chaqueta negra tambi茅n y las gafas de color plata desva铆da que me regal贸 The Guinea Pig hace tiempo. Me encantan. No hace nada de sol, en ese caso llevar铆a una sombrilla. Una nueva canci贸n se me pas贸 por la cabeza, el lunes creo, un verdadero hit, a lo mejor se titula "Jennifer", un nombre que me encanta. No me la puedo quitar de la cabeza, empieza con "don't touch my hairpin, we are only friends / turn me off if you think that's better..." (no me toques la horquilla, somos s贸lo amigos / descon茅ctame si piensas que es lo mejor...). Antropolog铆a desva铆da, me temo.
I just got home from the subway, seven stations on the way out and seven coming back. It's natural. Madrid is so cold today. I'm wearing black trousers, the jeans I bought in Austin months ago. Green t-shirt, black hoody, a jacket -black too, and the washed-out silver glasses that The Guinea Pig gave me time ago. I really like them. It's not sunny at all, in that case I'd wear a sunshade. A new song did cross my mind, on monday I think so, a real hit, maybe it is called "Jennifer", a name I love. Can't get it out of my mind, it begins with "don't touch my hairpin, we are only friends / turn me off if you think that's better...". Washed-out anthropology, I'm afraid so.
