Hello happy listees,

Well, I am a student again. I even went to class this week. I forgot that so 
pleasant sensation of being free half of the week, with not much to do apart 
from buying records and going out. I love being a student.

I found a place in Barcelona and I am moving in tomorrow. This is gonna be 
the whole "I discover my unknown flatmates" again. There are 2 girls, they 
don't look really like psycho-killers but who knows? I don't even know their 
musical tastes, I am taking so much risks :)

Did anyone know the fasinating fact that there are no words at all in the
English language which rhyme with "orange"

That left me terrified. I tried to think about a word but I only came up 
with "range", and being part of "orange" it doesn't work really. My English 
vocabulary is pretty poor so I hope that is what prevents me from finding 
another one. Because being a single word like "orange" with no other to 
rhyme with would be awful, really, and I hope "orange" doesn't really stands 
like this on its own.
Then I tried to find a lonely word with no rhyme in French but couldn't. 
Which leads to the conclusion that,leaving words with no rhymes, English is 
such an unfriendly language :)

I think I am going to sit in front of the sea all evening trying to find a 
match to "orange". Or I won't get sleep tonight.

Have a nice week-end
Elena
