I have seen tons of fireworks ever since we moved to Valencia. But what they were showing on Thursday night for the International Firework Festival was just incredible. And they showed things I never have seen before. They shot fireworks off a crane to create a giant fire wheel. Breathtaking!

What a sucky day!

First I got woken up in the middle of the night because a gigantic crane went by our house since they were finally getting ready to deconstruct the burned down theater behind our house. Sweet with a 4 month delay. So they started today with this:

Nice. This pictures is take from our roof and that theaters was a whole block. We already live in hell but now we have this constant dust coming into our place and don’t get me started on the noise. I mean sweet. How am I supposed to work?

On top of that my Toshiba laptop totally crashed this morning and refuses to start up again. No more warranty and it’s not even 2 years old and I already had to send it in not too long ago for some kind of motherboard problem. MAN!  On my shit list now: Toshiba and Acer!

Great … so the computer dude told me not to expect the laptop back within the next 2 weeks so I finally went to buy a “backup” desktop for only €299!!! Effen cheap. It’s super fast, quite and looks pretty sweet too:

The Acer Aspire X1700 aka U3700A in the USA. WTF … didn’t I just say Acer no more. Well, they had a great deal and me not much money. So .. what the hell. I shopped it.

So I spent all day to set up the new machine … FRUSTRATING. Oh well, it’s almost all done but I still feel pretty down. Hate days like this. When was the last time you had a day like that?

I’m so in need for a vacation. Didn’t go anywhere for the last 2 years. Our Hong Kong trip was the last time off. But with all the moves in the last years and the probably next move coming up I just don’t see any vacation in the near future. I would be already happy with couple of days here … dream vacation!

Anyone feels sorry for me and wants to sponsor a little vacation for us? Promise we would blog about it. The truth is we do live in a city where other people do their vacation but I would love to see something new for once.

Ok … you don’t have to shell out $$$ to make me happy. But you could make me happy by subscribing to the Random Good Stuff RSS Feed (I’m sooo close to the magic 5,000 subscriber number). Or following me on twitter would do it too. Best though is to recommend RGS to people. That would make my day.

Now … back to work … less bitching and thank you for listening.

Oh … That’s pretty neat! Please if you try it out be careful and you keep in mind you are doing it on your own risk.

Phew …. blogging stuff about fire always makes me nervous.

Why can’t I have a quite week? This week was honestly too much for me. If you follow me on Twitter you probably saw my desperate tweets from last night. A theater which right behind our house burned to the ground and colapsed:

And no, this was not part of any crazy Valencian Festival. See more pictures and a video here:

Fuego en el Teatro Princesa Valencia

Now I would like to introduce you to these city cave normades:

They had a pretty neat street performance here. Check them out: Babok Iglo

We also went to a Pilota game:

Which is a traditional Valencian sport. But highlight of the week was the beginning of Fallas with it’s Cridà.

Work wise I was a little slow on RGS but we pushed out Lastminute Auction France. But I warned you that once Fallas starts I will be spending more time away from the computer and less blogging. On the other hand I’m going to share with you photos and videos from probably one of the craziest festivals in the world.

If you care, I just started a Valencia Twitter yesterday. Feel free to follow !

I also have couple of free giveaways lined up for next week. And since a split second might decide if you get a freebie or not I’d recommend to subscribe to the Random Good Stuff RSS Feed.

Oh what a week!
