Bad movie, good actors

Its probably just crazy, its not... its not love. Although it kinda feels like it is.

reimagining the movie

They might be talking about their endless love, about a future together. Maybe shes telling him that she will follow him to the end of the world. Embracing each other in a cold yet sunny sunday morning.

Or maybe she told him that shes gonna marry someone else unless he says something, and he just told her that hes in love with Leopold.

Feeling anxious

How many times do i have to go and search for you; its getting ridiculous. You're not a song, you're not a picture and you're not a movie. And you're definately not a tuesday morning...

Postcards from the city

Dear Sally,
So tomorrow im going back to my normal routine, i gotta say i feel a little bit relieved and sad. This past three weeks of self confinenment used to work for me when i was young, but know i feel as if i had lost months. I dont know, i guess i need a little bit of direction. Im sure that you would agree with me when i say that after a break up you always end up feeling a little lost; so this time is no different.
I dont know Sally, you always said that crisis were perfect opportunities to change and improve, to use your imagination and find new ways; but i gotta be honest, i think ive reached a point in wich i just cant erase everything and start from scratch, and im not sure if i like what ive built so far.
Is a sad sad day when you start living in terms of productive time and wasted time, worse if youve just slept for three weeks in a row.
Anyway, Rene is coming to visit us in a week, he always injects me with energy; oh, btw, i never told you about my trip to NY to see him last april right? it was the best time, ill attach you some pictures.
So, i hope to hear from you soon and that you enjoy the pictures.
bye Sally.

The time i thought i was going to blog again

Its been a while since the last time i wrote in here. I forgot about the therapeutic effect that it has on me, just to be able to empty myself in words and then read everything as if it was from another person; it just makes all of this a little less meaningless, i think. im coming back.

i'm aiming too high

soothe me

The time i felt fat and used some Oprah wisdom

Quoting the magnificent Oprah,
how the hell did i let this happen?!
So, i have never had a great body, but i was well on my way to become decent looking when i met someone and we started going on dates, and dinners, and to the movies and lots of places where i was surrounded with food and shit with tons of carbs. The worst part was that in the excitement of getting to know someone new, i preferred going out with him than going to the gym. Everything worked out fine, we have been an item for over a year now, but unfortunately i gained a lot of weight, i am at my original shape before the whole ¨i am so depressed i need to go to the gym to wear myself out and not think¨ period. I have tried to get back to the gym several times since january but i just can not commit to it. So i think it is time to resort to some oprah wisdom and share with you advices that i think she has given in her show.

She might or might not have said that you have to exercise in "automatic" Just do it and dont try to find results in your body for at least the first three months. It is like a snowball, once you have started moving your body, all of sudden you will find yourself doing the exercise without actually trying to kill yourself. And after a long time, once you do see a little change in your body, you will finally find there the most nedeed motivation.
Also im pretty sure that Oprah did say that one of our biggest enemys in our war against weight is the way we were raised. Most of the ways we use to show our affection is through food, so in any kind of celebration there has to be lots of good fried crispy crunchy roasted delicious food. And since we were kids our relatives would stuffed our plate and we could not get up of the table without finishing the whole thing, you know, because "of the starving kids on other countrys": they had no food so we had to eat every obsecene amount of food they put in our plate. Well Oprah urges you, do not finish your plate!
Also be careful with the trans fats and dont believe in magic pills to lose weight, cause believe her, if there was such a thing as a magic pill that would make you lose weight while you are eating and watching tv, Oprah would already have it.

Update!!

Valentina got lost, and Mateo...

is such a cutie!

Why, why is there only 24 episodes in a season, i cant get enough of the third season of Ugly betty.

I never ask you for anything God (aka Salma Hayek) please dont let it get canceled.

Straight from voodoooo.

I do not know if it is a common practice between artists and bands, but everytime Bjork comes out with a new album she reinterprets all of her previous songs, she does new arrengements and even vocals to her older work. I think the main reason why Bjork does that is because she doesnt have a band, so she is constantly changing partners with different equipment and instruments in each album, and she can get pretty obssesed, when she finds a new toy (person or instrument) she goes all the way with it in her music. I remembered i was blown away with the Vespertine version of Human behaviour when i listened for the first time at the Coachella festival and couldnt wait for de dvd to come out.
Well, she didnt dissapointed with the song versions from the Volta tour. And thankfully her latest album is Voltaic, a studio version of her Volta tour where she injected a much needed blood to songs from medulla and volta itself, and in general all the songs have more rythm and beats. Im lovin army of me and wanderlust, well the whole voltaic is just so enjoyable.

The time i felt like a movie critic

I went to see Watchmen and from the very first minutes of the movie it was a lot to take in. Sometimes when you are watching a movie and you get a little bit lost at the begining trying to set up the characters in your mind you are confident that you will eventually catch up within the first half hour of the movie. But in this case it gets a little bit more complicated, first you are introduced with a dozen of characters and that makes it hard to identify the main ones. Then you are situated in the 80s in an alternative reality where the US has won the Vietnam war and Nixon is still president, so you have to keep track of all the incidents that have changed the history to get a clear picture of the setting in which the movie is taken place. And if youve managed to sussed out all that, then you have to follow a timeline that goes back and forth in form of flashbacks from each main character. Being said that, i have to say that i really like this movie, it is filled with details and dialogues that, in order to fully appreciate, you have to revisit the movie.
After watching Watchmen i read the graphic novel and i was amazed about how respectful Zack Snyder was with Alan Moores work, yet Snyder added elements that made the movie a bit more dynamic, even though it nevers achieves a really good pace or rythm.
At the end, Watchmen comes out as a bit hollow,empty or cold. It deals with issues that are not as relevant as their were in the 80's when Moore wrote it, and Snyder dehumanizes some of the characters, maybe because he was worryed in protecting other parts of the work from the movie studio.
For a comic book it obviously stands out as a different and more interesting work than most comic books, and as a movie it is an astonishing piece that at the very least would intrigue you enough to read the comic.

the time my dog got lost

Why couldnt the xoxo be lost instead
Everytime something bad happens to you, you should always ask yourself why couldnt this happened to the xoxo instead.

Yesterday a friend of my borther called him to tell him that her dog was ready to get some sexy times with our rupert so he took him to her house. And today in the morning she called him again to tell him that rupert was gone. Of course i was in shock and couldnt believe the news, who could be so stoopid to loose a dog that was shy and lazy, not to mention adorable. Rupert has never been the kind of dog that chases the mailman or cars or bycicles, in fact he usually stays layed down while hes barking. So after the work i went to her house and examined every inch of it, and i made her do a recreation of how the rupert got lost. It was a long story but it involved some burglars that didnt steal anything but my dog. The woman was worried almost to the point of crying because she understood perfectly how a dog is a part of a family and she, having 5 horrible dogs, knew so much about it, or so she said. Obviously i didnt care for her excuses and did not give her even a hint of empaty. I told her that it was her responsability and that she would have to resolve this situation even if it has to be with money. Of course i dont care about money, but that is the part that really hurts that kind of people, and since im almost sure she has my dog i would do everything within my power to be the most anoying bitch in the world, wich i dont think would be very difficult, until she gives my dog back or swears me crying on her knees that she doesnt have it.

So if you see my little bundle of joy please help him to get back home.

*Had to take off the picture, it was braking my heart everytime i saw it

The time i was complaining about the lack of activities in Mexicali

Anti-Anti

Here in mexicali there are not a lot of things to do in your spare time, or maybe im not very creative, but the way i see it either you go to the movies, to a coffe shop or you get drunk. The latter seems to be the popular choice among the kids, but to me the clubs in our town are just unbearable, i will never understand how there are people who starts going to clubs as early age of 18 and continuing on going nonstop up until their mid 30's, and here is why: The music they play nowdays in the clubs is the exact same music they played when i started going out some couple of years ago, they add like 4 or 5 songs per year, and whats worst is that people dont give a shit and they jump and sing like if "lamento boliviano" from the Enanitos verdes was this week hit.

well this whole introduction was to justify why lately i am going to the movies way too often. So i see a lot of shit even though im not really interested in watching it. So far i have only walked out of one movie, the one starring Poncho Herreras half naked ass.

But every once in a while i go prepared to watch a completely suckie movie and i come out quite amazed it didnt suck as hard as i was expecting. This happened with Yes, the latest Jim Carrey comedy. It was not great but it has some good laughs, semi likable characters and of course Zooey Deschanel, bitch was worth the 50 pesos. My favorite part was her singing, gotta check it out, shes the cutest.
