I am not drunk enough anymore to drunkenly promise fic :(

I think I was about an hour ago but I'm pretty much out of internet on my phone until the third, tragically, so I couldn't drunk-tweet from the bar.

WOOHOO HALLOWEEN PARTIES!!! they served tequila kamikazes in glass teacups! I felt super classy.

U R! :-D (I managed to identify & read a Basque wine label with my very elementary Euskara skills. Then promptly sent J a gleeful email about it.)

In unrelated news, V, I've been watching El Convidat, and when discussing it with [livejournal.com profile] gitanamorena, she pointed me to this post you made on your tumblr:

I'm so sorry to say, I don't want to believe it either, but that article isn't quite accurate when it claims that "Bojan never said any of these things". Is it true that the media made it into a bigger deal than it really was? Of course they did, but the fact is that Bo did say most of what he was quoted as saying, and it wasn't good.

When I first watched the show, I got the gist of most of it, and I knew he'd said a couple of potentially very interesting things, but my Catalan listening comprehension isn't fantastic, and he is a MUMBLER. So I asked a friend in Barcelona for help with this section, and god bless him, he actually transcribed the entire dialogue word for word for me (with a few snarky comments thrown in about Bo's enunciation compared to Albert Om's). Listening back after with the ability to know what exactly was said, I honestly was a little shocked, and definitely a little saddened, that Bo's feelings & perception about the situation with Pep/Barca was far worse than I had always thought them to be, and that his personal outlook on a future with Barca was as pessimistic as it was. I'm hoping that he was being an emo teen and that they just caught him in one of those "molt nostalgic" moods, and that, when he realized how it sounded on broadcast, he reached out to some media partners in Barcelona to do a little damage/spin control afterwards, because I desperately want our bb Bo to come home, and hope this doesn't jeopardize his chances in that direction.

Since I have the transcription, I'd be happy to translate it for you, if you'd like. It was eye-opening for me. That poor child. #hugsforBobo #herehaveacupoftea #andablankie

oh, Bojan. sigh. at least he has Nina? (omg did you see the ep of Crackovia where Pep threw Nina out the window I CAN'T.)

and I'm pretty sure he'll be back. the way that deal is structured - well, anyway. Pep said something about that in a press conference earlier in the year, that it was a return trip and Bojan would be back in Barcelona soon.

That clip was HILARIOUS. But slightly cringemaking. I winced through the laughter. (The Crackovia Nina little redbrown stuffed puppy was PITCH PERFECT though, wasn't she?! Gold star props department!)
