putodesmadre
Querido Sigmund,
Hay veces en que los sabados por la manana no son tan malos como podriamos pensarlos. Hoy es un dia soleado y hay miles de cosas que hacer... el unico problema es que hay que esperar. Las cosas hechas toman tiempo y uno no puede avanzar.
Pero eso no es un pretexto para no hacer nada.
Heme aqui, vagando por la Blogsphere y me encontre este Blog... interesante. El Nombre es Genial y concreto. Leelo, vale la pena.
Bueno, regreso a mi cocina donde un pavo me espera.

When A Woman Doesn't Want You
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
She may be lost
She may be out of bounds
All her tenderness and charms could be something
A man like me has never found
But in her woman's way
She's still a little girl
The things that she wants, the things that she needs
Oh well the choice is hers
`Cause you can't take a woman
When she doesn't want you
And you can't be a man
If you're blind to reason
Man might be strong
But true love is stronger
You gotta play it straight
When a woman doesn't want you
Her voice invites
Her eyes say more than words
But her needs and complications
Can tear away the memory of last night's girl
And if you're weak
Yeah we're all weak sometime
The best things can wait
The best times they come
Oh when strength is kind
And if you can't read her
Leave her alone
And if you don't know by now
She's not someone's prize
And you can't take her home

Do you 'Google'?
Dear Sigmund,
It seems that the folks at Mountain View are getting a little bit worry about the usage of their trade-marked name: "Google".
Take a look at this 'official' post about this subject and how even their lawyers are getting involved.
Do you belive that Kimberly-Clark thought about this back in the 50s?
In any case I think that the folks at Mountain View should feel proud; Google is so ubiquitously present! I think there is no longer a day when I don't Google something... Well, I have to confes: Before Google I made my research on Altavista.com
PS: If you're interested in reading something about Generized trademark here is the link to the always useful Wikipedia.

La luna - Jaime Sabines
La luna se puede tomar a cucharadas
o como una cápsula cada dos horas.
Es buena como hipnótico y sedante
y también alivia
a los que se han intoxicado de filosofía
Un pedazo de luna en el bolsillo
es el mejor amuleto que la pata de conejo:
sirve para encontrar a quien se ama,
y para alejar a los médicos y las clínicas.
Se puede dar de postre a los niños
cuando no se han dormido,
y unas gotas de luna en los ojos de los ancianos
ayudan a bien morir
Pon una hoja tierna de la luna
debajo de tu almohada
y mirarás lo que quieras ver.
Lleva siempre un frasquito del aire de la luna
para cuando te ahogues,
y dale la llave de la luna
a los presos y a los desencantados.
Para los condenados a muerte
y para los condenados a vida
no hay mejor estimulante que la luna
en dosis precisas y controladas

Good Morning Charnay
FALL IN LOVE
written by T Booth / A Badalamenti
Ease your lips into a velvet kiss while I enfold you
Move your hands across this promised land
The seekers guided by the pole star
Say the words
Why don’t you say the words
I have been waiting long to hear
Please fall in love with me
Drift with me upon an endless sea
We are divine in the realm of these senses
Every move has been a subterfuge
While we pretend that we really don’t care
Moved by fear we might be strangers here
But I can feel we might be one
Please fall in love with me
I hear the sound of moons falling
Surrender to this charm
I breeze across your soul darling
Deep eternity
Lost your mind
Well don’t you think it’s time
To swim away from the safety of these beaches
Trust the tides, they know which way to flow
And don’t you long to flow so far
Moved by waves we’ve never felt before
Till we are floating way out deep
Please fall in love with me
Please

Lake Superior State University Banished Words List
Dear Sigmund,
What people do in parties is always a mystery: you have to be there to understand why or how did they came out with X or Y. Well, something similar happened 30 years ago at LSSU.
Let's see how are they doing this year. It's a great job and, for the Linguistics, says a lot about the ways languages move.
"PASS THE SAVINGS ON TO YOU!"
This "breaking news" just in: Lake Superior State University releases its 31st annual List of Words and Phrases Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness.

Disney says "non" to Mouse orgy
ou là là... Les petits français s'amusent... mais une question

il s'emprenait à Pluto?

Disney says "non" to Mouse orgy
Fri Oct 13, 2006 8:30pm ET
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Walt Disney Co. on Thursday said it took "appropriate action" against employees at its Paris theme park who were caught simulating sex while dressed as Disney characters in a digital video that has received wide attention on the Internet.
Disney would not say whether it had dismissed any of the costumed employees featured in the grainy video, which appears to have been shot with a hidden camera at a backstage dressing room at Disneyland Resort Paris.
"The behavior shown on the video is unacceptable and inexcusable," Disney said in a statement.
"The video was taken in the backstage area not accessible to guests.
Appropriate action has been taken to deal with the cast members involved." The video shows Minnie Mouse struggling to free herself as she is grabbed from behind by Goofy and then a giant snowman.
Later, Mickey Mouse simulates sex with the snowman and Goofy does the same with either Chip or Dale, the chipmunks, as laughter is heard on the tape.
The tape is described on the Internet as the "Mouse Orgy."

A second language 'changes personality'
Well, I don't know... It's true, sometimes I'm a little bit more
whiner than normal but I still make fun of my body... Wait a second...
Do Mexicans make fun of themselves? And what about a third? Or a
fourth? I speak Spanish, French, English and Italian! Oh my gosh...
What a mess.... Now I get it....

LAMENTO DI FEDERICO
Francesco Cilea - L'ARLESIANA
Francesco Cilea - L'ARLESIANA
E' la solita storia del pastore…
Il povero ragazzo
voleva raccontarla, e s'addormi.
C'è nel sonno l'oblio.
Come l'invidio!
Anch'io vorrei dormir cosi,
nel sonno almeno l'oblio trovar!
La pace sot cercando io vò:
vorrei poter tutto scordar.
Ma ogni sforzo è vano... Davanti
ho sempre di lei il dolce sembiante!
La pace tolta è sempre a me...
Perché degg'io tanto penar?
Lei!... sempre mi paria at cor!
Fatale vision, mi lascia!
mi fai tanto male!
Ahimè!

Blanco o Tinto
Querido Sigmund,
El otoño ya esta aqui en Francia, las mañanas humedas y frescas, el olor de la tierra aly la humedad de la neblina inundan la Ciudad... Entre el cafe humeante y la vista sobre el jardin humedo por la mañana, me dedico a leer las noticias del dia y encontre una nota... mhhh... interesante, si no, al menos alarmante.
Es algo en lo que nunca habia pensado, bueno, no detenidamente, puesto que crei ser un buen consumidor, un buen cliente de la industria cuando vivia en Mexico, pero al llegar a Francia y ver como mi consumo se vio multiplicado al menos por diez me doy cuenta de la poca cultura vinicola en que hay en Mexico y lo peor es que somos, no un gran productor sino un buen productor de buenos vinos de calidad.
Es muy sencillo, la primera persona que cruces que viva o haya vivido en Mexico te servira de conejillo de indias, le haraz tres preguntas, listo?
1) Tomas Vino (Tinto, Blanco, Rosado o Espumoso)
2) Cuantas personas conocen que tomen Vino (pregunta pais de origen)
3) Pueden nombrar alguna marca de Vino Mexicano (Domeq cuenta?)
Quiza sea una agradable sorpresa encontrar a alguien que sea un buen consumidor, pero en la mayoria de los casos la persona simplemente no tomara Vino.
Mi querido Sigmund, creo que seria una muy buena idea dejar de vender mala cultura al pueblo Mexicano (es algo que siempre he sostenido, pero muchos me responderan: "de eso vivo") y tratar de hacer un cambio real, verdadero... tratar de presentar las cosas como son, sin pegarles juicios morales que heredamos de la Iglesia Catolica y de la mala comprension de las (no siempre buenas) Policas Estadounidenses.
Que tan dificil seria imaginarse pasar de los 149 litros de refrescos al año por persona a unos 100 y pasar de 350 mililitros a, digamos, un litro. No es muy ambicioso mi proyecto y como propongo reducir el consumo de refrescos, una nueva generacion de futuros diabeticos obesos podria ser salvada.
Querido Sigmund te dejo pensar en esto y recuerda que no estoy promoviendo el alcoholismo; estoy trantando de compartir una cultura milenaria, una que compartimos con muchos pueblos, con muchas civilisaciones: La Cultura del Vino.

Cooking Tests: Beer Can Chicken
This is great, the guys from Cooking For Engineers (TM) did it again.Every time I need some need idea for a dinner I go and check out what they have been doing. This recipe: Beer Can Chicken is a great idea... but don't try to put a Guinness into that Chicken... the capsule that contains the gaz inside a Guinness can is made out of plastic, it'll melt in the oven.
Fubar Friday!!
