Une femme incroyable

"Amor mi mosse, che mi fa parlare"
Divina comedia. Inferno: Canto II

Ajourd'hui, j'ai trouvé par hasard les photos d'une femme très belle, no, non "très" belle, mais incroyablement belle. Encore je ne peux pas croire qu'une femme aussi belle peut existir dans ce monde. Je ne pouvais pas la décrire avec des mots, elle est aussi belle que n'import quels mots j'utilise, ils ne seront pas adéquats. Alors, j'ai que publier des photos:
Est-ce que j'ai oublié dire qu'elle a 27 ans et qu'elle est une transsexuelle? Sa site: click ici

Left wing advancing in Latinamerica

I've just read socialist candidate Michelle Bachelet have won the first round of elections for presidency of Chile. She's got 45% of the total votes in yesterday's elections, defeating right-wing parties. However, there will be a second round, and it will be very hard, since left-wing ratio is quite similar. Although the government has said it will not be that tight. If she wins, it will be a tremendous achievement for our region. Not only because she will continue Ricardo Lagos policy, but also because the 54-year-old, tortured during Pinochet dictatorship, former political prisoner, physician woman will become the first woman at
the head of latin america´s fastest growing economy, which traditionally has been reserved for "alpha" males (as in the wolves ^____^). And also because she
is divorced, thus challenging the scheme of a traditional family, widely supported by the most conservative sectors (We must remember the extreme right wing ruled the country during many years, under Pinochet dictatorship). And if Evo Morales win in Bolivia, the number of left-wing parties in the government will really increase, joining to leaders as Luis Inacio Da Silva in Brasil and José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in Spain. In Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador has a big chance to win the July elections (currently the National Action Party, a right-wing party, rules the government).

Embrutecimiento gratuito

"Stultorum infinitus est numerus"

Ayer leía el periódico (sí, desafortunadamente pertenezco a la minoria que usa los periódicos no sólo como papel para envolver, sino también como material de lectura), y una nota me llamó la atención. Era un artículo del señor Carlos Mota sobre la propuesta de los diputados para modificar la entrega de concesiones de radio y tv. El decía que está bien, ya que de ésa manera se termina la discresionalidad del presidente para otorgar concesiones, ya que se harían subastas públicas.

Hasta aquí todo estaba bien, sin embargo, líneas más abajo, para justificar que sólo los que tengan (muuucho) dinero van a poder comprar una licencia, decía que no era adecuado darles concesiones a personas con poco dinero, porque "van a producir programas paupérrimos", y que si alguen quería ver televisión cultural, "pues ahí están el once y canal 22, pero seamos honestos, quién ve esos canales?".

Si alguien al leer esto se ha escandalizado ya, el señor aún tenía varios argumentos más:

"La COFETEL podría determinar si alguna empresa incurre en prácticas monopólicas, pero debemos recordar que hay varias personas con dinero suficiente para comprar concesiones."

"[...] además, [con las concesiones,] en un abrir y cerrar de ojos tendremos cientos de canales gratuitos"

Este modo de razonar es francamente escalofriante. En primer lugar, porque el punto de vista es meramente mercantilista (quizá este columnista vendía discos piratas en tepito antes de dedicarse a esto), y en segundo lugar, porque si una persona informada como él realmente está convencida de que es la mejor opción, qué se podría esperar de personas que sólo ven TV Azteca o Televisa, ambas con grandes intereses en que se apruebe la ley?

Pero no sólo eso, sino que no considera el tipo de programación que habrá en esos "cientos de canales", pero no se necesita ser Albert (Einstein) para imaginarlo: comedias baratas como "Los Sánchez", "Rebelde", "Amor en quien-sabe-que" o programas de telerealidad (o "rialiti chous" como los llaman algunos) o seudo-concursos como bailando por un sueño, bailando por un millón, bailando por x o y... Televisión desechable, diseñada para embrutecer al ya de por si embrutecido e ignorante pueblo mexicano.

Y no lo digo sin bases: Estamos entre los primeros países con más corrupción, pero entre los últimos en aprovechamiento educativo, el 80% de los mexicanos gastan para festejar a la "virjensita" santa de Guadalupe o van a la Basílica, pero no son capaces de comprar un libro o de entrar a un jodido museo, muchas personas saben qué pasó ayer en la telenovela Z o quién ganó la "Academia", pero no saben ni quién es su diputado...

Realmente no puedo creer que alguien pueda apoyar esa ley, que como tantas, nuestros flamantes diputados "an" aprobado (como escribiera Chente) para favorecer a grandes compañias (y favorecerse ellos mismos)...

Alighieri's Divine Comedy

I took the Dante's Inferno Test, and it banished me to the Seventh Level of Hell

Damn! I was so close to the end... and I couldn't reach there... I guess I'll have to sin much more (and that means much more joy for my present life, yeah!!)

Here is how I matched up against all the levels:

Level	Score
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)	Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)	Very Low
Level 2 (Lustful)	Very High
Level 3 (Gluttonous)	Very High
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)	Extreme
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)	Extreme
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)	Extreme
Level 7 (Violent)	Extreme
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)	Extreme
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)	Extreme

조수미의 "We are the champions"

오늘은 그 노래를 들었고 너무 예쁜 걸 생각해요. 이제는 버역한 걸 끝냈고 가사도 예뻐요. 버역은 아주 잘 안했지만 자금 다시 한번 버역하고 있어요.

조수미 목소리는 아주 예쁘고 사가도 예뻐서 노래를 너무 좋아해요. 조수미 에쁜 사람 인걸 모르지만 목소리 정말 예뻐요. 오늘은 KBS 라디오가 듣고 있었고 그 노래는 갑자기 들었어요.




그 노래는 좋지만 심심한 되고 싶지 않으러 듣고 싶지 않겠어요. 본적이에는 좋아한 노래들 너무 많이 들었어서 심심한 됐어요. 그것 때문에, 주일마다 한번씩만 듣겠어요.

We are the champions는 My story 앨범에 있어요... 살까 하고 있어요.

한국 영화...

이번엔 한국어로 하고 싶어요... 왜? 아... 사실 몰라요!! 지금 한국어를 공부를 해요. 아이구! 너무 어려워요! 근데 너무도 좋아해요...

자, 이번 영화가 한국 수도사 두 분에 대한 영화였어요. 어린이 수도사와 성인 수도사 물 위에 있은 적은 집에 살았어요.

수도사 생명은 사철 동안 보냈어요.



봄은 어린 시절이고 여름은 청년기이고 가을은 젊은 성장한이고 겨울은 성인이에요.

이영화가 너무 너무 좋아해요!!

이번 주중에 영화 구경을 더 가고 싶어요. "하루"와 "리베라 메"와 "선물"과 "나도 아내가 있었으면 좋겠다"와 "하면 된다"와 보고 싶어요! 근데 구경하러 Mexico city에 가야 해요. "100 años de la inmigración coreana a México" 때문에 이번 영화는 전신해요.

Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas (update)

I felt a little guilty for having posted a beautiful girl but with little talent, so I decided to change her. The girl I'm talking about is JuHyeon. In her place, I put another singer, but this time she's both talented and beautiful: Susanna Hoffs. She was the vocalist of "The Bangles", a group I like very much. If you have listened to Bangles music, then you should agree with me: Susanna sings like angels. All The Bangles (Vicky Peterson, Debbie Peterson, Michael Steele and Susanna} are great, but I chose Sussana since I really love both her face and her voice, specially when she sings "Eternal Flame", my favorite.

Well, that was all.

Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas*

"Homo sum et nihil humanum a me alienum puto"

These days physical beauty is everything. Media have created a body-beauty religion, we can see on TV and magazines spectacular men and women with perfect bodies. These days of fast food and credit cards we have created also fast idols. We have singers who don't sing, actors/actresses who don't act, journalists who don't journal, but being beautiful gives they some kind of "license" to do whatever they want. I (barely) remember NStynk, Backstreet guys, Ricky Marvin, Bitchney Spears and many others. What do they have in common? all of them belong to the selected community of the most beautiful and dumbest persons. But, since I strongly believe beauty and intelligence are not mutually excluding, I've made a world's top 15 most beautiful and talented girls list. Well, some (very few) girls in the list are not talented, but quite beautiful, and after all... I'm just a human!!.

Why 15 girls? The reason is 20 are too much, and 10 are not enough. In some cases I've included the work I remember they from, and in other cases just their activity. But, let's finish preambles and let's go to the list.

P.S. There are many Korean girls, but this has little to do with my strange fascination with almond-shaped eyes.

Name	Remarkable work/ Activity	Country	Picture
1) Jeon JiHyeon.	My sassy girl, 2001.
2) Pak ChaeRim.	All about Eve. MBC, 2000.
3) Lydia Bosch.	El gran juego de la oca. 1993, Antena 3.
4) Meg Ryan	When Harry met Sally. 1989.
5) Susanna Hoffs.	Bangles vocalist
6) Lee SeonHui.	Singer
7) Shania Twain.	Singer
8) Kim SeoYeon.	All about Eve. MBC, 2000.
9) Denise Maerker	Journalist. CNI Canal 40
10) Margarita Gralia.	Actress
11) Fernanda Serrano.	Jaime, 1999
12) Joana Morales.	Mambo y Canela. Venevision, 2002.
13) Chiquinquira Delgado.	Calypso. Venevision, 1999.
14) Julieta Fierro.	Astronomer
15) Betsabeth Duque	Mambo y Canela. Venevision, 2002.

The unbearable lightness of being

"Some fools rave of happiness
Blissfulness
Togetherness
Some fools fool themselves
I guess"

Almost half a year has passed and I'm still missing her. Yes, yes, I know... I'm grumbling... but I just don't know what could I do, I don't know if forgetting should take that long... Everybody says I'll forget her sooner or later, that I'm not the only one with a broken heart, bla bla bla... The truth is these days I don't miss her as much as I used to, but it's still a lot... but, could you blame me for this? after all, I spent 4 years of my life with her... or perhaps I'm sick and all I need is just a psychologist and a straitjacket.

Whatever. But that is not my only problem, now it seems I cannot fall in love... I have to compare every girl I see with... well, with her... and I don't like any, because this is too blonde, or because she's not enough, because that it's too smart or maybe because she is not... Should this happen? I've never been too "normal", but this sounds too odd, even for me...

Anyway, it will pass... or I hope so

The end

"Yes I will, I'll get you in the end"

Yesterday ended one of the greatests canadian series: CBC's Street Legal. It was such a big hit when first aired there in mid 1980's. Here in México it was aired by 2:30am, I don't know why, since it could have been a great hit here too... anyway, I fell in love with all those characters, from Leon Robinovitch to Kim. I don't know if they are planning to air it once again... I really hope so!! My life is senseless without that series!!!

The plot is quite interesting (unlike mexican soap operas) and very good written. Besides, chacters become an essential part of the series, even support characters, like David Elliot or Mercedes, and even Eva Paredes. And talking about Eva, many reviews say she was mexican, though I'm not sure, I always thought she was from somewhere in Central America...

So, I'll be depressed these days. I want the series to be aired again soon...

P.S. Many people say I use ellipses too much... do I?... I don't think so... well, maybe a little...

Many, many months after...

After more than 6 months, my computer is working again... and I didn't have to spend any money. I still don't know what was wrong, but apparently it was not the motherboard. But as a consequence of all those months of inactivity, the CMOS battery got discharged, so I'll have to replace it, which will cost me less than 300 won. -_-!

During this time I've been learning about hardware, I'm not an expert (yet), but I know a lot more than a few months ago. Now I know the guy at the repairing shop was lying me, he just wanted me to spend a lot of money, even though it was totally unnecessary. But those days are over, since I know enough as to repair my computer myself...

By the way, these days I discovered a totally new web browser: Firefox. I've been using it, and it's great!! It has a lot of options more than the old and monotonous Internet Explorer. I really love it! One dissadvantage, however, is that I cannot make the <embed> code to work, since Firefox doesn't support ActiveX (God bless Firefox!!!).. Well, I guess it's just a minor disadvantage, besides, I'll think about a way to make another code for Firefox users.

Firefox... the future

You can personalize your browser, all you have to do is download some skins (here are called themes), and voilà!!


And you can download many extensions to give multiple features to your browser... can you imagine you can control your media players (Realplayer, Winamp, Windows Media player, etc) from your web browser???? U can hear music while you're surfing the web!!

And this are just a few of the thousands features... In a single word, I love Firefox!!! (well, in three words)
