Anoche soñé contigo y que tratábamos de hablar pero no podíamos, porque luego de muchos inconvenientes a mi me secuestraba un grupo tipo la mara salvatrucha y no me quedaba otra que unirme al cartel y terminaba montada en la caja de una pick-up doble cabina disparando una metralleta roja que además se convertía en pulsera. Guau...
Si hubiera soñado esto unos dias antes hubiera entendido mejor como estaba el deal en la pelicula Science of Sleep. Me gusto porque sale Gael hablando en Frances con acento mexicano, pero ahora después de mi mega sueño fumarolo creo que me puedo hacer fan. Este Michel Gondry definitivamente trae toda la onda, pero a mi me late que soñamos igual de chido.

Top 10 pick-me-ups for girls in rough times
Things I like to do when I am feeling crappy and have no money to spend:
1. Get yourself out of bed! I force myself to go for a good run first thing in the morning, especially when I least feel like doing it. I curse myself for the first 5 minutes but once I get going, I leave all the crap behind.
2. Put on a dress or any other outfit that you would normally leave for a Friday/special work day. I say if you are not smokin' on the inside you should compensate by at least looking absolutely fabulous on the outside.
3. Pick a slow/sad band on your iPod and blast it while you walk to/from work. I usually go for Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve. It does the trick 8 out of 10 times and its free. When in doubt, always go for Radiohead.
4. Take extra minutes from work time to check email, browse Internet, window shop online. Anything to keep you distracted. Yes, it is not the most professional thing to do but it is more efficient than spending an extra 5 minutes in the bathroom holding the tears in. (i.e. This post is written during work hours).
5. Leave work 5 minutes early. Go straight to shopping mecca. Try on a ridiculous expensive (but fabulous) pair of heels. Proceed to the cosmetics department. Sniff on perfumes, try on new eye shadow, discover new lipgloss hues. Pretend you have the money to buy it all and in the end, leave empty handed but with a whole lotta new fashion/beauty knowledge (and a few free samples, of course!).
Things I like to do when I am feeling crappy and have a little money to spend (less than $10):
6. Treat yourself to your favourite sushi for dinner. Who cares about the groceries that will go bad sitting in the fridge? Desperate times call for desperate messures and food is fuel for the soul. Plus if I go after 6:00 pm my sushi lady gives me 50% off.
7. Do not go home before prime time. Kill time and un-wind by spending time in company of one of my favourtie friends: the fashion magazine. Get a tall non fat cappuccino with two splendas and find a quiet corner here and read until your eyes get sore/the caffeine in the cappuccino runs out.
8. If the shopping itch is too big to ignore, get your hands on some disposable fashion from H&M. You should be very ashamed if you cant find anything cool to buy for under $10 bucks.
9. If there is a good chickflick on the theatres, round up the troops and head straight there. If the other soldiers fail to show up, even better! You get the best seat in the house and at least 1.5 hours of pure, high estrogen YOU time. All for less than $10 (unless you pig out and get yourself some treats, but hey, you had sushi for dinner, go for it!).
10. Ok, lets be honest here. I would get a treat even if I didnt have sushi for dinner. We are talking desperate times here! My treat would be either frozen yogurt (if I want to have a little less guilt) or gelatto (if I have been good all day and plan to work my butt off next morning). Hey, I have to walk a few long blocks to get to either of them so at least I am burning some of it in advance.
If all of the above fails:
Skip the window shop thing and go straight for the real deal. Buy a pair of the fabulous heels (not from Holts of couse, unless you have a suggar daddy that I didnt know of), wear your most fabulous going out outfit with the new heels, gather the troops (no shows is not optional, they better show up!) and head out to your fav bar, enjoy a few cocktails and realize things arent that bad after all and your life is fantastic. Embrace the feeling for as long as it lasts (even if its just for that few hours). Wake up the next day and repeat from step 1.

todo con exceso...
que tan buena estuvo la parranda del viernes?
Acabo de colgar con una amiga y recordamos a los tipos odiosos que se nos quedaban viendo toda la noche mientras bailabamos. Wait a minute... en el Morrissey no hay pista de baile o si? 'ta madre - por esoooooooo. Las unicas locas bailando en pleno bar. Que se le va a hacer cuando la musica esta re-chida? Aqui no de desperdicia nada! Casualties of Friday:
amigas nuevas: 1
amigas perdidas: 2
amores nuevos: 1 (en potencia)
amigos nuevos: 1
aprender que despues del tercer vodka martini todo se ve diferente - no tiene precio
Al final de cuentas, dear life, estamos a mano.

La letra
Quien iba a imaginarse que una letra pequenita pudiera causar tanto revuelo. Estaba ahi, juntito a mi nombre emedio de dos grandes mujeres. Despues de tantos anios de demostrar que soy mas que eso, una mendiga D de dedo, de duda, de dolor a lado de mi nombre, como carta de introduccion a un monton de gente que no me conoce. Les presento a la senorita B, hermana de T, V y K, la unica diferencia es que a lado de su nombre, se escribe bien grande y en mayuscula, la D!

Rachel getting married
Hoy, a los 28 y pico anios de edad fui por primera vez al cine sola. Me senti tan importante cuando entre triunfal a la sala, despues de haber dicho bien claro en la taquilla que solo necesito -favor de poner atencion- un solo boleto. Compre helado y chocolates de postre bien merecido despues de haberme ido a cenar un sushi delicioso sola tambien. Y que sucede cuando empiezo a buscar cual sera el asiento perfecto para esta maravillosa cita conmigo misma? Resulta que hay otras 10 personas mas en el cine, y todas tambien vienen solas. La pucha! 8 pinches anios viviendo en el extranjero para armarme de valor y plantarme a ver una pelicula sola solo para darme cuenta que soy una gallina y que el unico merito que tengo es que al menos era una pelicula con nominacion al oscar.
Pd. buena la actuacion de la Anne H. Merecida la nominacion. Sin embargo, a mi se me hace un poco parecido a cualquiera de las adolescentes con las que me codeaba en epocas mas pubertas. Osea que tal vez no estuvo tan dificil que le saliera.

Amor, Amistad
Me sospecho que ambos son indirectamente proporcionales. Cuando seesta re-bien en lo uno, en lo otro todo apesta y viceversa. Ha de ser el ying y el yang, la manera en que la naturaleza mantiene todo en balance. Cuando la vida amorosa de uno apesta el mundo con toda su energia se asegura que por lo menos tengas muchos y buenos cuates. Pero una vez que empieza a enamorarse salen corriendo todos los demas. O sera que a algunos les da envidia?
Como diria el buen Don Marcos, los caminos de la vida... no son como yo pensaba. Dijo la yogui en la practica del domingo que hay que fluir como el agua para poder aceptar y sobrepasar obstaculos. Como el agua acepto que a veces las cosas no son como queremos, y asi tambien se puede estar bien. Easier said than done, right?
