I wish I had enough free time to just sit down and listen to music sometimes—not as background music while I do something else (which I do every day); as the focus of my attention, so I can really pay attention to the lyrics, sing along, pay more attention to the melodies, the flow of the album...

Friends who love “spooky season”: Help me flesh out my seasonal playlist! I’m not into death metal or music as loud or dark as that, but spooky classical music, rock, folk, etc. would be interesting.

Al parecer, ya encontré cómo hacer que dejen de hablarme por el teléfono de la casa para vender servicios o para fines más nefastos: me hago el tonto, en inglés. Les digo, "Hello? Hello?... What?.... W-what?" y ahora son ellos que me cuelgan el teléfono. ¡Finalmente, paz y silencio en la casa!
