RJ 15/01/85 Tuesday
I slept at Maira’s last night and dreamt my mum was a lesbian. In the morning Maira, Jeison and I went to have Maira’s belly scanned. Maira didn’t want to find out the baby’s gender but couldn’t resist it. It’s a boy and he’ll be called Gabriel. Everyone wanted a girl, but nevermind…
It’s 12:10 and Tancredo Neves is the new president already, he needed 344 votes and already has 454. Maluf only has 164 so far. Just have to wait and see for the end of voting. The whole country is celebrating. It’s the 3rd time it rains in Brasilia today and my mum must be soaking by now. The final results: Tancredo 480 votes and Maluf 180 votes. There were a lot of abstentions. It’s 12:26 and the New President is being declared. It’s all gone mad at the congress, everyone wants to shake Tancredo’s hands.
Oh my god, now at 13:52, while Tancredo was giving a boring speech, there were people running, the speech was suddenly stopped. Tancredo’s body guards made a circle around him. But it was only the famous “Kisser” trying to kiss Tancredo. But the poor guy didn’t manage to kiss him.
In the afternoon we went to Valeria’s house (another one of Maira’s school friends), I played Atari on her sister’s console (she had gone out). And then we had chocolate cake: We got lost in conversation and only left at 5:30, and we still had to see my grandad as he’s back. We got there at 6 and met Zeze and Auntie ltalia leaving his
building. We went up and chatted for a while. My grandad had an operation and went to Caxambu… Soon he will give me 50,000. I am reading “Gandhi”, by Louis Fischer.
The singers tonight are :
Kid Abelha e os Aboboras Selvagens (it starts at 6), Eduardo Duske, Barao Vermellio, Scorpions and AC-DC.
My favourite Scorpions song is “I’m still loving you”, a slow one.
