capricho 2

and this one

capricho

I want to see this movie and I want it NOW

to work

No more "Peter and the Wolf" or however the story is called. You know, the one that tells the story of Peter and how he was always screaming, ¡the wolf, the wolf! And when the wolf appeared for real and he screamed, nobody believed him.

For months I've been saying that I'm working on my final paper, dissertesion, tesina, memoires, however this is called but I've been lying. I've become Lady Procrastination and work nothing. You know, there is always an excuse, an event or something important happens that keeps me from working on it. And the thing is that now I'm actually working on it people don't believe me. They have their right, but I'm gonna prove it and become a graduate student, yeah!

And as an application on Facebook says, "If you have time to post, check out your friends at Facebook, watch the t.v, go out drinking, read comic books, memorize a poem in Russian then... you have time to work on your final paper"

weekend at San Luis Potosi

I just came back from my trip to San Luis Potosí. It was a complete success, I had a lot of fun and I won first place, claps, claps, please.

I've never gone to San Luis before. It is a beautiful place, with a downtown very similar to the one in my city. But the people its completely different: at San Luis they're so kind and gentle. The streets are quiet and clean. Also, there are these corridors where you can walk and walk.

The wheather was good, a bit chilli but fine. The food was great. And I got the chance to get to know other students and teachers. Also I visited an old house, so beautiful: just one floor and all the rooms connected surrounding the central yard. Beautiful

Reprise

I don't know why but I have become obsessed with this movie. It is the story of two young men and one ideal: become writers.

something NEW

My mom dragged me to the stores and it was the best she could do, haha. She bought a bunch of stuff but among my favorite things are these tights in different colors (for my new obsession of wearing tights all the time) and this purse. Also she bought me a watch (because I'm always late) and a pair of brown boots, yeeeih! She did it out of the blue, it was a nice gesture from her.

a)purple, b) black with floral print, c) gray

a) gray

fairy tales

She thought fairy tales were a bad idea, especially ones involving princesses who were awakened from long sleeps upon being kissed by a prince; apparently stories like that would give the children, all girls, the wrong idea about what to expect in the world when they grew up. Her speech on fairy tales always amused me because I had in my head a long list of things that contributed to wrong expectations in the world, and SOMEHOW fairy tales did not make and appearance on it

put your records on

This song makes me feel a lot better when I'm feeling down

Put Your Records On

by Corinne Bailey Rae

three little birds sat on my window and they told me I don't need to worry/ summer came like cinnamon, so sweet/ little girls double-dutch on the concrete/ maybe sometimes/ we got it wrong but it's alright/ the more things seem to change/ the more we stay the same/ ooooh, don't you hesitate

girl put your records on, tell me your favorite song, you go ahead let your hair down, sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, just go ahead let your hair down
you are gonna find yourself somewhere..somehow

blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely/ sipping tea in a bar by the road/ just relax, just relax/ don't you let those others boys fool you/ got to love that afro hair, do/ maybe sometimes/ we feel afraid but it's alright/ the more you stay the same/ the more they seem to change/ don't you think it's strange?

'twas more than I could take/ pity for pity's sake/ some nights kept me awake/ I thought that I was stronger/ when are you going to realise that you don't even have to try any longer?/ do as you want to

Tonight, today, I feel like a 16 years-old little girl..and you?

..and my heart swings for no particular reason
