SALSICHA DO MANTORRAS
Well, it’s Mantorras again. I really admire him, but…
A few years ago, Mantorras had a sponsorship thing with a sausages company called Izidoro. The slogan: “O sabor que eu adoro”, meaning “The taste I adore”. I can’t thing of anything more stu…strange. Great marketing!
PRO-JECT DEBUT III
With Christmas, I got the new Pro-Ject Debut III/Phono USB. I must say that I’ve never been a maniac for vinyl, but I’ve always been a fan.
Although I had some sound problems at first, all it’s working now, and I’m pretty happy with it. The ability to connect and recording to the pc it’s fantastic, and just too easy to do it. I now have to clean and organize my old and small vinyl collection, but as I already have two brand new vinyls, I thought of giving you a gift. My (late) Christmas present for you. Just a sample of my new Bob Dylan’s vinyl “Another side of Bob Dylan”.
The first time I’ve heard this music, was in a duet with Janis Joplin.
Ladies and gentlemen… Bob Dylan | It Ain’t Me Babe
(I hope he doesn’t sue me)
WALTZ WITH BASHIR (2)
There’s an excellent review on the Guardian, about the movie, “Waltz With Bashir”, that I mentioned on this post (4 October):
«This may be the most thought-provoking film I’ve seen all year,’ Xan Brooks says of Ari Folman’s inventive animated documentary about the Sabra and Shatila massacre of 1982»
WALTZ WITH BASHIR
Went to see “Waltz with Bashir“, yesterday. It’s a great movie. Sad, but I definitly recommend it.

FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL
Just started the Lisbon French Film Festival. One film I’m looking forward to see is the animation “Waltz with Bashir” (picture above). Seems to have pretty cool screenshots.
By the way, tomorrow it’s the last day to see the Lisbon Village Festival. A festival mainly dedicated to (digital) cinema, art and music.
OPEN HOUSE LONDON
Extremely interesting project that involves renovation, integration and innovation in the way we look at the city. I took two years to plan.
«Open House London is an architectural orgy when 700 buildings and private houses are open all over London for the public to visit. Village Underground has to be one of the wildest: 4 recycled London Underground Tube (subway) carriages lifted up on top of old Victorian arches and turned into offices. Covered with graffiti, reached by a winding metal staircase and a spectacular view over the east end.»
A DAY IN SESIMBRA
Last monday was Oceanlab 6th anniversary, so all team went scuba diving and on a afternoon sailing in Sesimbra. Every anniversary we do something different, but I must say this year was probably my favorite.
Scuba diving was a lot of fun. Sesimbra seems to be a nice place to do it, and on the way back we even got to see some dolphins, which is always nice.
But my favorite part was the sailing on the 4une. The wind, the relaxation, the champagne…
It’s was a really an incredible experience and it’s a great alternative when surf’s out. 🙂
