Something stupid

I know I stand in line

Until you think you have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we go someplace to dance

I know that there’s a chance

You won’t be leaving with me

 

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

And have a drink or two

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like I love you

 

   I can see it in your eyes

You still despise the same old lines

You heard the night before

And though it’s just a line to you

for me it’s true

And never seemed so right before  

 

I practice every day to find some clever

Lines to say

To make the meaning come true

But then I think I’ll wait until the evening

Gets late

And I’m alone with you  

 

The time is right

Your perfume fills my head

The stars get red

And the night’s so blue

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like I love you

I love you...

Evaluation

This week we've the last opportunity to share our experiences, ideas, feelings...

Now is time to evaluate the blog experiment.

On the one hand, the positive aspects:

- You can write when you want

- You can write about everything

- People can share their experiences with you

- It's anonymous

On the other hand,

- It's quite difficult sometimes to find a good topic to talk about

- If you don't have a computer it won't be a good way of learning

- It'd be difficult if you aren't familiarized with computers

- When you are working all the day with computers you are fed up with them.

 

I've tried to write posts and comments so often. However, sometimes it has been impossible (work, university...) but I think I've learned. I express myself fluently (not as good as I would but better than 9 months ago).

Writing has been the failed subject of my English learning. I know, I haven't pass the subject but I feel more confident writing now.

Pesto alla genovese

Spring weather make me think about the basil plant and, of course, about the classical "Pesto alla genovese". It's a refreshing sauce and easy to do.

Ingredients:

- Basil leaves

- Olive oil

- Parmesan cheese

- Pine nuts

If you have a blender, put the basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese and olive oil together and blend until you have a smooth purée.

It's more traditional If you do it with a large pestle and mortar.
