We have a new housemate! A hamster named ‘Pelucita.’ It’s a Russian hamster, but fortunately not imported. Our hamster was born on Spanish soil. We built her cage ourselves—a nice spacious cage with plenty of toys, a hamster house, a running wheel, and her food and water. I think our hamster is very content; during the day she’s calm and plays cheerfully with the kids, and in the evening she goes completely wild and seems to be running a 10 kilometer marathon in her wheel.
Carnival! A celebration on the island. A few family members from Madrid came to visit, which resulted in two weeks of fun outings, but unfortunately also some extra pounds gained. Luckily, with some extra running sessions, I managed to lose those extra pounds again.
A home match against Victoria. The previous match against this opponent resulted in a win, although it was a pretty close call. Still, it make a new victory pretty likely.
Three point gained! A nice match with plenty of goals.
I take a large dose of vitamin C every day. Out of habit because I’ve been taking my pills for over 30 years, every morning. But also because I believe in the benefits. I know that vitamin C dissolves in water, and that whatever your body doesn’t need gets flushed out. The advantage of this is that it’s highly unlikely to take too much vitamin C and face negative consequences. The downside is that many people think the extra vitamin is essentially a waste of money since you just pee it out. I’ve heard that argument several times, but I feel differently.
Water is also something your body can easily get rid of. You simply urinate it out. If you drink a lot of water, you need to go to the bathroom more often, but that’s not the whole story. Drinking lots of water means you might urinate more frequently, but your body can efficiently carry out all functions requiring water. Water is used almost everywhere in your body. All your bodily processes benefit from good water availability.
If you drink only a little bit, water becomes a resource your body must handle more cautiously. Your body is incredibly good at using the resources it has efficiently, but why make it harder on yourself? I like to drink an extra glass of water because I believe in its advantages.
It’s the same with vitamin C. If it’s available, it can be utilized. If there’s an excess, well, then you urinate it out. What the optimal availability is, that’s the question, and the answer varies for everyone. I believe that much more of the vitamin I take is used compared to relying only on eating oranges. I believe my body adopted to a high availability of vitamin C by slowly removing self imposed restrictions it had for its use.
Today I heard a funny story by a colleague. While on the beach an unknown dog approached and started to lick him. A funny story, and for me an inspiration for a new song. I asked an AI for a song text based on the following premise (my colleagues story, made a bit more interesting):
Lying on the beach, daydreaming. I notice someone approaching. A tender touch. I can hear her breath. Not sure if I’m dreaming, or my fantasy just became reality.
Lying on the beach, daydreaming. I feel her touch. She’s not afraid, takes initiative. Wet and warm, a subtle lick. Sunscreen being rubbed all over my back.
Lying on the beach, I keep my composure. My eyes closed, relaxed, enjoying the moment. My stranger took it to the next level. Cream all over my body, she licks me with passion.
Lying on the beach, I start to get doubts, could it just be a dream, the girl is simply to wild. Were on a public beach, she is doing things to me that are probably not legal outside the bedroom.
Lying on the beach, I open my eyes a little. I see my lover, but she is so close. I only see shades of black and brown as she licks me with passion, still rubbing cream everywhere.
Lying on the beach, I suddenly wake up. It’s a dog. Literally a dog, my dreams are shattered as reality slams into my mind. My daydream was really a unknown dog assaulting me. I feel terrible, dirty.
Lying on the beach, it gets even worse. The beach was packed. I look around, and see thousands of eyes, all looking at me. People laugh. People are disgusted. The dog is still here, on top of me. What now?
The result I got were some very nice lyrics, and together with a style indication: dream-pop, pop, rap, dark ambient. I used my suno account and got a very nice song.
Salt and Shame Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Sun-bleached sand beneath my skin
Lying here, letting daydreams begin
Lost in thought, a gentle haze
Then a shadow fell across my days
Someone near, a breath so light
A tender touch, bathed in sunlight.
Is this real? Or just a plea?
Fantasy unfolding over me.
(Verse 2)
Warmth spreads slow, a subtle grace
Fingers tracing time and space
Sunscreen scent, a summer kiss
A boldness I couldn’t resist.
Wet and warm, a playful tease
Rubbed all over, finding ease.
She takes the lead, no hesitant plea
This stranger’s touch awakening me.
(Chorus)
Eyes closed tight, surrender slow
Letting go of all I know
A rising tide, a burning heat
Is this a dream? Or bittersweet?
Something wild, something free
Lost in the moment, just her and me.
(Verse 3)
Doubt creeps in, a whispered fear
This feels too much to be held near
Public sand, a reckless game
Things she’s doing, whispering my name.
A line is crossed, a boundary blurred
Passion flares, unspoken word.
Licking slow, with fervent grace
Lost in shadows of her face.
(Verse 4)
I crack an eye, a blurry view
Shades of brown and black shine through
So close now, I can almost see
The intensity consuming me.
Creamy touch, a fevered plea
This isn’t right, it can’t be she.
(Verse 5)
I wake with a start, the spell is broke
Not a lover’s kiss, but a canine stroke!
A dog? Oh God, it’s truly true.
My daydream shattered, soaked in dew.
Dirty and raw, a shameful sting
This fantasy, a ridiculous thing.
(Verse 6)
But the worst is yet to unfold
A sea of faces, stories told.
Thousands watching, judging eyes
Laughter rings beneath the skies.
The dog remains, oblivious still
While humiliation takes its fill.
Stuck in place, what can I do?
Underneath a horrified view.
(Outro)
Salt and shame, on this crowded shore
A broken daydream, forevermore.
Here we go again. After last weeks win the team is ready for another win. We won the previous match, so what will this match bring? Fingers crossed.
Too bad, we lost! Alan did not play in this match. He had to take it easy for a week. His spirit did participate as you can see in the match photo with his team mates holding up his shirt.
This match has brought quite a few extra spectators for Alan. There is family visiting, and of course, no one wants to miss this top match. In the previous match we secured a victory. Can we achieve this again?
We are back! A massive victory where Alan scored a goal! In the end our team scored 7 times!
The highly anticipated soccer cards have arrived. Right of the bat we started with a big investment. 16 packets with 6 cards each, and the album to store them in. We did not know the total amount of cards we needed to fill up the album, so it was a bit of a gamble. Of course Alan wanted his very first personalized album to be complete so there will probably be quite a number of weeks where card trading will be a big part of the football training.
We will have to keep our fingers crossed to see if Alan is inside one of the little bags. If not, we are hoping to get at least some of his friends, or at the very least a few people from his team.
Well, Alan got lucky, a teammate got a repeated Alan, and gave the extra card to Alan, so he started out with his own card before even opening his first packet.
The first match of this pool was played by Alan at home against the team from Muelle Grande. Unfortunately, they lost this match, but Inter Colonia was certainly not without chances. Maybe this time we can grab the victory?
It was a fun match. A goal from Pablo, Alan’s friend. A goal from Aimar, another friend of Alan, and a goal from Alan himself. Fantastic — for us, the game was a success. Unfortunately, the opposing team also scored. No less than 8 goals! So unfortunately, the result was a loss of 8 – 3, but it was an exciting match nonetheless.
AI is getting better really fast. My latest test is a generated song using suno. The style is a mix of a football song combined with a splash of sexuality, and it worked. Inter Colonia, Alan’s team, mixed with droplets of sweat sliding down someone’s blouse. The result sounds amazing.
Lyrics (spanish)
[Verso 1]
Si quieres de esta vaina me avisas (eh)
No tengo compromiso de una cita (eh)
Las caletas están dentro de la guisa (eh)
Ley seca siempre fue pa la noticia (eh)
Gotas de sudor bajan por mi blusa (eh)
Y me das una manguera pa la tusa (eh)
Si me crees muy complicada abusas
Pero yo de eso ya estuve muy cansada (eh)

El enemigo me pide la cuenta
Cuando me ve papi puro comentario eh-eh
En qué barrio conseguiste eso
Pensé que éramos del mismo vecindario
[Coro]
Si no quieres fuego (ugh) (fuego, fuego)
No mires mi juego (no, no, no)
Niñas que no juegan
Inter Colonia lo ganó (wow, wow, wow)
Vas perdiendo cero (ugh)
Mi equipo primero (ugh)
Lo hago de nuevo (ugh)
Inter Colonia lo ganó

An away match! A very tough one this time against the number one team on the list.
Unfortunately, we lost 10 – 3. We started the game well again, just like last week, with a 2 – 0 lead, but the opponent fought back and eventually secured the points easily with a 10 – 3 victory. It was noticeable that it was a bit of a ‘dirty’ match. During the match there was a lot of kicking and pushing. It’s no surprise that the opponents are in first place. Other football matches were more like a game, but this one was more of a battle for victory.
