This very moment is a good moment to type up a journal entry, these are the very last minutes of a nicely spent long weekend.
We had a slightly ambitious plan to get out of the city, but instead, everybody else left, so we had a quiet trafficless Mexico City to enjoy.
We went to see Faith No More on friday, it just made me feel old, I was crazy tired and enjoyed only bits of the whole thing, oh how I would have liked it 10 years ago...
On saturday we did nothing, and I am not exaggerating, we slept in, and watched bad tv all morning, then hunger made us get up and we went to the grocery store to get some frozen pizza and ended up spending too much money on junk food, I did get a sacred heart plastic plate, which I will photograph once it's up on my kitchen wall. Then we headed back home and tried to watch some tv but just fell asleep.
Yesterday we went to a thrift shop and were baffled by the obcene prices, we always thought that place was the cheapest and best of all, but even the people that shop there have changed, I was SO angry. But then we went through the street vendors junk and got some cool stuff at decent prices, like a pair mint (as in color, not condition) sunglasses, a cute little paste doe and cookie canister. That same sunday we crashed a garage sale and I got an awesome deal for a dymo machine that I bet was used once or twice and a plaid blue suitcase, score!
I know I should have pictures to go with this post, but, I don't seem to be able to find the time to do that, you see, I am going to school, yes people I am, I actually started typing an entry about that and never finished and now it doesn't really make any sense, I guess I am going that entry and some others I began typing as a long flash back entry one of these days... But as I was saying I am going to school, I am learning me some action script, and between school and work I have no spare time whatsoever... I work like a mad woman, but it is good, I have little time to worry about stupid things, and I loooooove my work, I am tired a lot though, but I thank my lucky stars that I have job, I got one in september that's exactly when thing started REALLY getting bad, so I am thankful everyday for having a job doing something very similar to the things I love to do.
Well that's enough for a picturless post don't you think?
So long to you who are still reading. |

I have 2 entries badly written and generally too whiny posted private thinking I might re write them and post them public eventually, but I am having a really hard time collecting my thoughts and not being very negative and/or sounding too depressed. Last april before I quit that dreadful job I became really neurotic and self centered and all I did was talk about how shitty things were for me and I think, no wait I KNOW that i became extremely unpleasant to be about, I am afraid it might come to that again, so I am trying to be cheery, never mind there's a water shortage and never mind the unemployment rates are at their highest in the past eleven years. Anyway I am probably just writing this because it is 1:33 am and I cannot go to bed, but how could I possibly sleep if I slept all afternoon, I had terrible terrible cramps, really just dreadful, the kind of cramps you just have to sleep through because there's really nothing to be done about them. Being out of a full time job gives me a lot of time to just think about nonsense, play pet society and watch movies. Below I present you with a list and commentary about the ones that I can actually say something about.
The sisterhood of traveling pants
I only watch the first half hour of this one, I thought it was going to be one of those cheesy movies for pre teen girls with messages like be yourself and whatnot but it was the most dreadful piece of shit ever to be filmed (I might be exaggerating but not very much). Honestly I thought America Ferrera was a smart girl, how on earth could she have chosen such a stupid script, full of fat phobia and ethnic stereotypes. This movie is so bad that it is not even funny anymore.
 27 dresses I think they wanted Hugh Grant for the boss but couldn't get him. The script is crap, not a lot of jokes, Katherine Heigl is taller than her beau, the dresses are too ugly to be beleivable. But I would recommend watching it if it is ever on tv, pluses include: not needing to pay much attention to it so you can do something else at the same time, poor direction, and cheesy montages.
Knocked up I liked this one, maybe because I watched right after the afore mentioned one, or maybe because it was actually good? the script is funny albeit a bit ridiculous. The women in the movie are crazy bitches, all of them, the men are endearing. Magic shrooms are consumed, if that doesn't tempt you to watch I do not know what will.
 He's not that into you Meh. I am sure my mother really liked this one. I had to watch it, it has Drew Barrymore and Jenifer Aniston and as a rule I watch any movie with either of them in it, also there's Ginnifer Goodwin who I think is just adorable. It is supposed to be based on that self help book, so all through the movie you get advice on how to pick a good bed/life mate, in the end all the good people get their happy ending. It is done in the style of sex and the city, I guess I enjoyed it, and would watch again on tv in five or six years. I am not going to lie to you people, I don't watch this type of movies because there's nothing else on, I watch them because I enjoy them, and I am well aware their are meant to suck you in and get you to buy crap, be it actual crap or crappy ideas, but they are also entertaining and light, and I can't really take a Synedoche, New York or a What ever happened to baby Jane? everyday of the week, I am half crazy so I need to scape to this worlds where everything is clean, people wear sensible clothes, they are all kind of pretty and kind of witty and there always is a happy ending. Now I am of to watch that one with Michael Cera because he is a cute kid and the need to sleep hasn't caught up with me yet.

Since my camera's battery charger is not to be found, and I lent the BF my little card reader thingy there are no pictures to be showed, also I am not even sure what kind of pictures are on my camera, so, I am going to share with you my dear friends some of the treasures I've come across lately, mind you I am no art critic:
Her illustration stye is bold, and it has a hint of victorian, girls and the female are a recurring theme in her work, all in all very contemporary. She keeps a blog too.
There is a such a contrast between his paintings and his illustrations. The paintings, specially the portraits are strange, he takes the characters and objetcs out of context and makes them come across a bit eerie and I dare say conceptual even; on the other hand the illustrations are all things lovely and naive, but very very polished at the same time. His work is just beautiful no matter how he approaches it.
This israeli comic book artist and illustrator recently gained widespread notoriety because of her comic book Exit Wounds published by the amazing Drawn and Quaterly, I haven't read that one, but I have read a book she illustrated called something like Dad ran off with the circus, and it was really really cool, she uses a mixed technic in which she incorporates patterns a textures, she even uses origami paper. She is so big that she even has a visual column in The New York Times.

This is why you should have floors so clean you can eat of them:
Today I was a kinda out of it so I made a really awesome meal for myself: unfortunate shrimp, I just came up with the name, as it is something I just invented.
I am gonna type it below so I won't forget it because it was quite good:
Sauté some diced onion in some oily substance, I used butter. When were cooked I added some shrimp cut in cubes, when shrimp was almost cooked (you have to do some guessing to know this if you used precooked shrimp, but the scent is a big clue), add some sugar and some chili powder and sautéed some more. Then serve it over rice and put some fresh cilantro coarsely chopped on top.
As I was enjoying my delicious meal the plate srpang wings and flew of my hands, but lost control in mid flight and landed bottoms up on my shoes, rendering it impossible to salvage any of it, also there were ashes all over the floor, I seriously needed to mop.
I have now mopped and made a sandwich. dammit.
I was drinking lime lemonade (limenade?) with some fresh mint, but really what I thought I was making was this, of course the ideas got mixed in my head, so really I don't know where the mint thing comes from.
Anyway, next time I make this, I am going to cook it with a little olive oil, skip the chilli poweder, not forget to add some bacon and instead of cilantro it is going to be fresh oregano and some chopped pecans. Cooking makes me happy.
