Autlán, oh well!

I travel to Autlan tomorrow

and I had an awful day today
I am sick right before my little vacation

sore throat, fever
headache, and all the body hurts
i shiver now & then too

and I feel
mad, sad, dark, old, ignored, fat
& very stupid, I look like shit
in this photo of today

and sadness crawls all over my being
but I thought I was looking for my days off
and today all went wrong...

YOU could've send a little
have a good trip note
but you choose not to

and now I am gone
the plane might crash
and me in little pieces
won't be able to wave goodbye

so I leave this dark sad image of me
in case I die
for the closing of my blog

When I am a woman of 38 I become
I might be alive
or never ever come back

pretty dark stuff, huh?
nice!

That is, if the plane doesn’t fall
otherwise this will be a pretty dark joke

mmm? somehow, alone & old
but I do hope to come back
to my silly lonely little life

another one of my favorite bands
their lyrics...
here the song Breaker
and a very sweet video
from their new album
Drums and Guns

Viernes Santo

in English
Good Friday
not a Holiday in USA

in Mexico
it is a Holiday
and it is Viernes Santo

the day Jesus Christ died
I am not hard-core catholic
I was raised a catholic
but I do respect Jesus
and I respect the catholic grief

Good Friday
is always a cloudy day!
what a coincidence and today
San Diego is cloudy
menace of rain
I guess being cloudy
is the sky & clouds way to keep
a quiet moment of silence
keeping the sun away
for a philosopher of life
who died 2007 years ago

am Telefon

sometimes
it is fun
to leave cheerful messages
at your dear friend's phone
heh heh heh

this photo, from a couple of weeks ago
can't believe it is already april!
time flies these days
as life, in sun & smiles & spring beginnings,
day by day, magically goes

los viejos tiempos

porque jaime siempre me los recuerda
& because sonic brings back
days of mexico city
subway & running, crowds
& then some green stops at parks
walking fast all the time
school, work, life
& sonic youth on my headphones, must of the time
or while driving in my car
& then i found a friend online, who lived in Monterrey
and liked Sonic Youth as well
[don't miss the destroyed room photo on their site!]
almost 10 years later, we are still friends online

here Silver Rocket
Sonic Youth, love that they recorded this video live
look closer at the playing of those guitars
and Thurston singing breaking voice sometimes

April played some jokes on me yesterday
it made a fool of me the whole day!

About 10am – internet’s connection is down
(upgrading services, blah blah blah, tech support said tonight)

oh but I got a movie via NetFlix
The Departed!
so, yeah I am going to watch it
and watched almost the whole movie
but…
out of 37 chapters on the DVD
the damn DVD broke on chapter 35!!!
I am about 8 minutes from the freaking ending
And the stupid DVD got a clinch
So far, I haven’t seen the ending
I returned the DVD on the mail and I am waiting for a replacement
In a couple of days, to watch the last 8 minutes of a 2hrs 35 minutes film
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
damn damn damn!
and soon I'll be 38... mmm?
old & unlucky lady today i am...

dacron polyester & the LEVI'S of the 70's

i found these very trippy TV commercials from the 70's!
wow, LEVI'S jeans publicity back then: psychedelia
here we go! the quality & style of the animation
i think is amazing for those years



and don't miss the Evolution one

sunday: ikea

a rather strange weekend
but sunday night i decided to visit
one of my favorite stores
IKEA
i've been needing a chest of drawers for a while
and i thought that the relaxing mood of putting together
a piece of furniter could be nice
for a sunday night

here Stranda



before & after (oh & the little lamp, from IKEA too)

kiyoaki

as yesterday
i have a new friend/pet/roommate!
he is from Singapore
and his name is Koyaki
short name: Kiyo

i named him Kiyo
because of a book that Lisa gave me
Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima
Kiyo was this young character
a beautiful japanese adolescent
as this Kiyo, the fish,
is beautiful too, the name fits him



Kiyo is a peach-colored betta fish
with a Half-Moon tail
i will try to get a picture when he expands his tail
it's beautiful!

oh, i really like my new friend
and I got him a live plant for his fish-bowl
even he doesn't move around that much
as a cat or a dog, but sadly i am allergic to those bigger pets

welcome little Kiyo to my world ;)

give ice-cream a chance!

today was a nice quiet day
it was very cloudy
just saw a shy attempt of sunlight
for about 1 hr

yet it was peaceful and nice
i was able to go for a longer walk
went to mitsuwa (japanese grocerie store)
and ate at the little restaurant at front
a mini-beef bowl w/pickled veggies and rice

i got 2 packages of tea bags at the store
and some seaweed salad to go
(i love that stuff)

then in reward for my long walk
and for surviving a hell of a busy week at work
i got myself an ice-cream cone
the waffle kind (miss d advice)
with strawberry ice-cream
from the store a block away from my home
it is natural ice-cream and the store is famous in San Diego
Mariposa Ice-Cream is the name of the place
is decorated with The Beatles paraphenalia
posters of Jhon, Paul, Ringo, George
and records, etc.
a charm of a place!
and was voted best home-made ice-cream in San Diego in 2005
please watch this video here & then click on "watch the video" under the photo to the right
it is great! the owners are 60's childs :)
another ice-cream cone
here what somebody wrote on this great place that is just one block from my house

Who could have guessed that hippies and ice cream made a perfect match?

Well, I suppose lots of people could have, but who could have guessed that hippies would have it together enough to actually open and maintain a store? These hippies do, and god bless'em for it. Lots of different flavors, homemade cones, and friendly people.

Sunday and a foto of a day ago
the kitchens are also a magical place of any home
or at least i think so...
