Hello to all, this is the continuation of the last entry:
On last Tuesday I went with Inocencia and Ana (a dear friend, mother of another dear friend and also a translator, like Inocencia) to Cafe Seda in Old San Juan to watch Miguel Zenon, Henry Cole and other musicians jam to jazz standards and it was awesome. Not as good as the other jam session I attended but still it was pretty good. I saw there very dear friends including Elga, Marina and also a new acquaintance, who is teaching at the UPR political science department whose name is Alex and he seems like a pretty cool guy. He is teaching the theory courses, which I enjoyed very much when I took them.
I miss that time 
I have seen tons of movies recently, including "Broken Flowers", "Coffee and cigarrettes", Spielberg's "War of the worlds" (a good movie with a horrible ending), "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", which was better than I thought it would be, which was not much, "O brother where are thou" (a classic!! , "The producers" (the new version, and I LOVED it!), etc. I highly recommend "Broken Flowers", especially those who enjoyed "Lost in translation" and all the Wes Anderson movies, Bill Murray rules!!
I am reading a Leonardo Padura novel and I am hooked, I want to read all of his other stuff. It was a gift from Elga, and I am very grateful, because it is a writer that I have wanted to read for a while. It is a detective novel about contemporary Cuba, which I am very ignorant of, so I am learning a lot.
Other books I have read recently include "The Long Halloween" by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, The first volume of "The Sandman", stories from the newest massive hardcover released by DC of stuff written by Paul Dini and with art by the great Alex Ross, which was a gift from Inocencia , and the newest Star Wars paperback novel. I want to read an Eloy Urroz novel afterwards, plus maybe "American Pastoral" by Phillip Roth and some "100 bullets" by Bryan Azzarello and Eduardo Rissso and some "Hellblazer" collections by various writers and artists.
Well, that was a lot of writing, I still have to write about new music, but I will do that later in the week, a big hug to all!!

As for movies, I highly recommend Grizzly Man and Murderball, both now on DVD.
My hush-hush job is far less glamorous, and the reasons I'm hush-hush are very mundane and silly. I hope I didn't make it seem otherwise.
From what I recall, the late 20s are rough because you're in the high digits, but that's just an illusion. It feels like you're getting to the end of something, but when you wake up at 30 you realize you have a whole new decade (really the best one, too).
