๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Ricard Torres Radio, the revival? I have revived my personal podcast with a different format. Short episodes (around two to four minutes), just recording thoughts and rants. Starting from episode 23 (currently at 32 already). Have a listen, constructive feedback is always appreciated. ๐Ÿ“บ True Detective I have enjoyed the first season of True […]

What used to be a weekend of massive discounts has become a regular Friday โ˜น๏ธ I don’t know if you found any amazing deals during Black Friday and Cyber Monday but at least what I’ve looked for was not discounted. Except for the Google Earbuds, I told you last week. In Spain, the online stores […]

Even if the image above shows a fantastic burger, fries and great cocktails… Ramen season has begun, my friends ๐Ÿœ This week I was fortunate enough to have two of these swirly soups (here and here). Barcelona’s temperature has moved from wearing T-shirts and shorts to thick jackets. Gotta love having only 2 seasons a […]

We’re riding a train across Spain today ๐Ÿš„ ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ I’m leaving Barcelona for Ourense, we have a Haidong Gumdo seminar with my master in Galicia the north-west part of Spain. It’s going to be a good weekend ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿฅ‹ Since they introduced the high-speed train (I don’t dare call it a bullet train) we’ve chosen […]

โšพ๏ธ MLB Playoffs I have been enjoying watching the Major League Baseball Playoffs highlights. Such a different atmosphere at all levels, the players, the crowd the play-by-play calls from the broadcastโ€ฆ My team, the Boston Red Sox, had a horrible season but regardless I’m here for good baseball. ๐Ÿ“ธ Processing photos takes so much time […]


Weeknote 36 (2023)

Alright! Second week of September and things are already in full gear. Here are some things going on ๐Ÿ›ธ Ahsoka The new Star Wars universe spin-off about this Jedi. I gotta say, it’s not amazing. The episodes are shorter than one would hope for and the cast isn’t great. I remember back in the old […]


Weeknote 33 (2023)

I’ve been half enjoying some vacation days and summer condensed work hours. For some strange agreement, my office allows us to do 36 hours weekly, rather than 40 ๐Ÿ˜ Not only that but the four days you do 7 hours, they can be done in one go. These days I do eight to three, quite […]

I had this smash burger the other day, I love smash burgers it’s a great invention. This one was a little bit strange, they did not use the classic butter bunโ€ฆ The middle section became a little soggy too fast, so that wasn’t great. If only they had changed the bun it would’ve been so […]

This week I was invited to the fanciest dinner I’ve had in years ๐Ÿ’ฐ I don’t know about you but I simply don’t enjoy high-end cuisine ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ First, it hurts to pay triple the price for one-third of the food I’d get somewhere else. But secondly and most importantly, even if I’m not paying my […]

๐Ÿ˜ฎ Cheap manga? don’t mind if I do This week I bought the first volume of Naruto, the famous manga/anime for 1,85โ‚ฌ. Yes, you read that right, the price of a coffee. Not second-hand but brand new ๐Ÿ˜ฑ How is it possible? I don’t understand either ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ You see, in Spain, the prices of books […]
