A certaing smell is felt rancid, but she doesn't perceive it.

HAPPINESS




Although we didn't have time to see the whole movie, I'll try to summarize it.

The film shows a series of situations limit within the lives of people who seem to have a normal life, but everybody hide a secret, or an evil thing. In the film appears a couple who is about to divorce, a man who masturbates while he is phoning girls, a man who dies and no one knows him, only a women, etc. I think that this film is a critique on happiness, it seems that these people have happiness, but in fact are not.

The movie seems to be a little boring, but it is very realistic.
Scab----> crosta (ferida)
thaw----> descongelar
strike---> vaga

HORROR STORY

It happened long time ago, I don't remember it clearly. Evidently it was in the night, I was in my house, eating a very delicious pizza. I used to eat pizza every day for dinner until my doctor said me that I should eat more healthy food. My dog was lurking for a piece of pizza, and I gave it to him, then it stuffed itself and it went to my bedroom, like every night. While I was having dinner I was watching the TV, and I saw a news that frightened me. The news said that a very dangerous killer psychopath who was absolutely mad, had escaped from prison and he was in my neighborhood. He was called " The chameleon". I felt very frightened and I locked up the door. After a little while I felt very tired and I decided to go to bed, when I entered at the room I didn't see my dog, but I supposed that it was under my bed, it used to do it every night. When I was about to fall asleep, I noticed that something was licking my feet, and I suposed that it was my dog, it always did dit. After one while I heard thunders, it was beginning a storm. Suddenly, I heard a very loud and characteristic bark: My dog's bark. I watched trough the window, and my dog was there, in front of the door, waiting to enter! I couldn’t believe that! This couldn’t be happening! I felt a shiver when I wondered: who was licking my feet? I looked fast under the bed: nothing. I returned to look: without nothing nor nobody. I thought that I would faint, my mind was completely blocked. I returned to look trough the window. A strange form was moving away among the rain...
The End.

Some of towns in Catalunya are suffering a problem with the stray cats. Some of the residents are unhappy with this, and other people spend a lot of money feeding the cats. The new tells that there are some groups, like APDA or Progat, that helps the cats funding money of the people who wants to help this. They do sterilizations by the vets and they buy a lot of food for feed the cats. Maybe is not an straight forward work, but they are truly communited to the cause of caring for cats.
