so aparently all the heat that was missing from barcelona, is here. its freaking oppressive. i guess it's like this at home too, but still. thing is, i don't really care, cause i just bought my ticket to RADIOHEAD! aahhhh! and not too expensive either. they're playing in some bullfighting arena here in madrid in a week. i'm currently trying to figure out the details of going somewhere else, and then bringing a night train back here to madrid. those night trains are pretty darn slick. for less than the price of a hostel, i get a semi-comfortable, secure bed. i woke up and i was here. sure i hadn't showered in 4 days so i was a little gross, but still. especially here in spain i'm thinking, as the trains are slow as molasses and everything is far away. aaanyways, i WILL be back here on the 16th, however it works out.
speaking of spending money on tickets, i also purchased myself a ticket to see 'la fantasma de la opera', (the musical, hopefully in spanish), for tonight! my hostel is smack dab in the middle of the theatre district here, so i was out walking around today and stumbled upon it. i'm quite excited. my spanish is getting good enough, and i'm familiar enough with the show to where i should enjoy it thoroughly.
other than those things, nothing much new really... tomorrow is museum day, as there are 3 quite good museums here in madrid, including the prado, probably one of the best in the world. but for now, i must track down some food and get ready for the show..
