seven daaaaaaays

[arisha]

In one week I have an interview with one of the biggest companies in the world, and if today was any indication, I am going to spend it as a complete nervous wreck.

I have been purposely vague about this interview (and shall continue to be for at least the next little while) in my LJ because I am TERRIFIED of jinxing this. Oh man you guys have no idea how superstitious I can be sometimes. xD;;

Hmm, I feel like I should have some other news to report here. Last night I watched Casi casi, a Puerto Rican movie, which I bought mainly for Spanish listening practice but it was fairly enjoyable just as a movie. I mean, as enjoyable as you'd expect a silly teen comedy to be, haha. I was totally impressed with myself because I was able to adjust to the actors' crazy Puerto Rican accents a lot faster than I would've predicted I would, and I felt I understood quite a bit considering the off-and-on way I've been studying Spanish for the past four years. :P Anyway, now I think I'll watch it with the English subtitles on, to see how much I missed the first time around. Haha! xD

On that note, if any of you know of any Spanish language movies (or TV shows, or music, or anything!) you can recommend, please do! It's easy for me to find things to watch/listen to in Japanese, but when it comes to Spanish media, I have no idea where to start ... :( (My Spanish language CD collection so far consists of Shakira, Juanes and Belinda, making it the most mainstream collection possible I'm sure. ^^; )

Ahahaha I just took a trip through itunes to dig up allll the songs I listened to when I was in Chile. Most of it is out-of-print, but Ricky Martin's self-titled album (which my host sister played every day, to the point that it became background music) is still there. ("dime que me quieres!/en la intimidad!/sabes que me puedes/dominar!" "soy un constante ganador!/(en el amor!)") XD

Good luck at your interview!

Okay, Heroes Del Silencio's album "Senderos de Traicion" is still awesome, and apparently they're a major rock band that tours everywhere now? I always see cars plastered with their stickers whenever I'm down in CA. Or as one itunes reviewer puts it: ROCK ORIGINAL. NO COMO EL DE HOY
