Continuing the list of movies

-The history boys: Entertaining and my guess is that they would like to hear endearing tale of wathever. But even if i enjoyed, it didn’t change my perspective of life (or anything close to it). Truth is, even if a couple of things made me laugh a lot, well, I think is like a […]

Postcards from the void

And specially from the command line:
“Humans have various ways of communicating to each other, such as music, art, dance, and facial expressions, but some of these are more amenable than others to being expressed as strings of symbols. Written language is the easiest of all because, of course, it consists of a string of symbols […]

The old habits

This is what I meant when I said I used to play hours at night.
It is sooo childish!
Still, it is kinda cute.

A place to crash

Fanouris is back today, he called me while I was at work. I still have no credit.
Mimile bought his ticket, he leaves on saturday. So life goes on. Is going to be so weird to live here when he is gone.

A great idea!

Intelligence and Talent

…”el hecho de que su coefiente intelectual sea elevado no implica que esas personas “sean una enciclopedia andante”, pues suelen tener habilidades sobresalientes para la música, la pintura, las matemáticas o la biología, pero a la vez tienen una debilidad, sobre todo, en el aspecto emocional.” Or so says an online Mexican news service

Ghost world

And I know many many of us living in the ghost world. I understood way too much for my own good. Or perhaps I was still a little bit drunk from the night before when I watched the movie. But it made sense, completly. Is not that Enid was trying to be non-average, but […]
