2014.06.22 01:00 - tasted like video games

The Guardian for this meeting was No Self. The comments are by No Self.

Wol Euler: buongiorno, qt
Qt Core: buongiorno Wol
Qt Core: how is life ?
Wol Euler: so far, so good :)
Wol Euler: and yourself?
Qt Core: not bad, already gone for 1h wandering with my bicycle, already started cooking (maybe a little too eraly)
Wol Euler: wow :)
Wol Euler: I feel very lazy, I have been out of bed for all of twenty minutes
Qt Core: i had breakfast at a bar before coming home, had a brioche... tasted like videogames, that is, it was nice and just out of the (probably micro) owen and reminded me about the ones i ate at a bar where i also played a lot of videogames many years ago
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: "tasted like videogames" will be the title of this session!
Qt Core: was it Proust writinga about a madeleine remembering things ?
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Wol Euler: exactly so
Wol Euler: funny how memories get triggered by odd associations
Qt Core: it was really like being back there for a couple seconds
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: what did you drink with your brioche at the bar?
Qt Core: milk, white milk
--BELL--
Qt Core: and being one of the first customer there wasn't even the horrible coffee smell around ;-)
Wol Euler: ah :)
Wol Euler: to me that defeats the entire purpose of breakfasts in an Italian bar, which is the world's-best cappucino which accompanies the brioche
Wol Euler: (which is why I asked ...)
Qt Core: :-)
Wol Euler: I hated coffee until I had a cappucino in a bar in Rome
Wol Euler: it was like ... say, like drinking water from a clear mountain stream after only knowing brownish water from the local pond
Qt Core: i tried a cappuccino too, now if there would be a way to have only the foamy part...
Wol Euler: "kiddie cappucino"
Wol Euler: seriosly, it's a thing
Wol Euler: bars here make it so that the kids are not left out
Wol Euler: just foam
Qt Core: the milk and coffee under that ... :-(
Qt Core: sometimes i wonder if i was switched at the hospital when i was born and i'm not really italian ;-)
Wol Euler grins.
Qt Core: i even went to the gym friday trying to evade the Italy football match...
Wol Euler: ah
Qt Core: they switched channel on the tvs around...
Wol Euler laughs.
Wol Euler: no escape, eh`?
Qt Core: but at least it was pretty void, only 7 people around (counting two trainer and a receptionist too)
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: Stuttgart empties out entirely during the matches. I didn't see a single moving car as I walked home from work the other day.
Wol Euler: it was lovely :)
Wol Euler: reminded me of Venice
Qt Core: Sao Paulo during a Brasil team match: http://www.wimp.com/brazilscores/
Qt Core: they are even crazier then us,, we wait at least the direct elimination phase to go like that ;-)
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: fireworks even
Qt Core: but still, after our first match (tha we won), at 1:50am i heard a couple cars honking around
--BELL--
Qt Core: this, same matchm is lovely: http://www.wimp.com/fanfollows/
Qt Core: tiring as hell, but lovely
Wol Euler: what a wonderful thing.
Wol Euler: excuse me for a sec, I seem to have something in both my eyes...
Qt Core: ouch
Wol Euler: so :)
Wol Euler: what a great friend.
Qt Core: onew of the usung everyday heroes
Wol Euler: indeed
Qt Core: if he agree to do that for "just a football matches" i wonder what he does the other days
Wol Euler nods.
--BELL--
Wol Euler: that made my day :)
Wol Euler: thank you, qt
Qt Core: :)
Qt Core: if he do that for all matches, not only Brasil too he need a vacation after the world cup ends.
Wol Euler grins.
Qt Core: my sister get quite scary iwhen italy (or whatever team she decide to support that day) lose, she usually request an immediate rematch ;-)
Wol Euler laughs.
Wol Euler: I was surprised last night how calmly the Germans took their narrow escape.
Wol Euler: hardly any noise in the street after (or during)
Qt Core: Italy is obviousy in turmoil after our loss, our 60 million coach hard at work for the next match formation
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: not wishing Italy or Germany ill, but I would love to see an "outsider versus outsider" final
Wol Euler: that would enliven the procedure
Wol Euler: in Germany there is a common attitude that there are only five or six teams that matter, one being of course Germany, and the rest are just fillers. Well, it might do us good to have to re-think that
Qt Core: i'll prefer an outsider win against a big
Qt Core: for anime reasons i'd like a Japan win (that is if not Italy, obviously)
Wol Euler: heheheh
Wol Euler: yeah, I can see that
--BELL--
Qt Core: i really loved Captain Tubasa (or Holly e Benji as it was translated in italian)
Qt Core: *tsubasa
Qt Core: as in some matches one goalkeaper would not see the other, considering the earth dimensions the field would have been some 15 km long ;-)
Wol Euler: heheheh
Wol Euler: kid's eye view of the world
Qt Core: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Tsubasa for the records)
Qt Core: ohh, i only watched the first and maybe second anime series, but there is so much more...
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: something to look forward to
Qt Core: it is almost idiotic, but reading some of it (the part i already know) i'm still having someshivers on my scalp...
Wol Euler smiles and nods. Not at all, I understand
Qt Core: not so excited that his Japan would beat italy 4-0... ;-)
Wol Euler: heheheh
Qt Core: must stop or i would end up downloading/buying all of them
--BELL--
Wol Euler: well, I'm working today so I will have to start moving towards that goal
Qt Core: and i have this sunday that want to starts too
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: take care, qt, enjoy the day
Qt Core: :-) have fun!
Wol Euler: you too
