A poem by Begoña Martínez. Am I a cat? / I bask in the sun, / I lay in your lap, / I find my own way, / I don’t like other cats.
Somebody makes a pseudo-stupid joke at my son Quique in the street —something I’ll never understand.

“Let it be. Just an idiot. Motherfucking drunk.” [In Spanish, because… well, you’ll see]
“Mooooom!” Lucía, my 10 year-old, scolds me “that’s a swear word, I HEARD YOU!”
“Darn. So now you do speak English and you understand it when it’s convenient for you. So I won’t be able to swear even in English, now?”
“You could swear in German. But… well, then when I heard you speaking in German I’d know you’re swearing.”
Lost. We’ve lost here.
Should I compile all the Quique and Lucía stories in a single document? This is a serious question for you as my readers. Do tell me in the comments.

It starts with as little as 1$ a month and it really pushes me to write more.
By the way, we’ve reached the next goal we had, to get 2 pretty ebook covers a year:
The next goal is getting two pretty layouts a year:
It feels like the seed of a new, cool thing growing in my life. I’m really looking forward to see what happens next. 🙂

Estoy muy emocionada porque no me había enterado de esto: JR ha ganado el premio TED de este año. No todos los días alguien de tu edad, a quien has interpretado, (que ha hecho una intervención en tu ciudad, que tú has ayudado a poner en marcha…) gana el premio TED. Ser p-arte… Me acaba
El lunes a las 7 de la tarde en el Hemiciclo de la Facultad de Letras (Campus de la Merced de la Universidad de Murcia) voy a ir a la presentación del libro Ética profesional de los profesores, (que ha escrito mi padre, he de decir). Allí comentarán el libro (entre otros) dos filósofos que
