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
