Remember to change your passwords regularly. I suspect I was hacked through my wireless network. Yes, Iâm afraid weâre all vulnerable. But changing your f*cking passwords can prevent a lot of hassle.
đ„ BCN food & drinks
Texas Cinema Bar: cozy, good music, and a local vibe. This cinema cooperative has reopened recently and now it offers not only cinema but other performing arts, and also has a small bar. Btw, donât miss their chips with CafĂ© Paris sauce.
Banna: brightly lit Thai restaurant, serving the best Pad Thai in the city. The service is quick and also offer takeaway. Versatile, perfect for a date, a dinner with your mum or a rainy day at home.
La Vermu: the perfect spot for vermut time. They provide everything needed for a complete experience (âgildaâ should be their second name) and also have some hot dishes like âtruita de patatesâ o âcroquetesâ.

âïžA quote
6/7/91
La Perplejidad del Verano. Una persona ocupada no puede llegar a asumir el tiempo libre. El mundo parece torcido. Eso conduce a un aterrador examen de la existencia, la conciencia, el sentido de seguir viviendo, si hay un sentido. ÂżSigue uno adelante sin mĂĄs, porque los otros lo hacen? Es peor que una pesadilla, afrontar la ociosidad. (Highsmith, 1991)
