Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

this year, as always, more things to be thankful for

just the fact of being alive is the biggest gift i got

and then a new home

and my mom's company

and the clouds, and the moon, and the stars

and the sun... i sound like a John Lennon song

Friends and Enemies: I bought a Fridge today

today I bought a refrigerator for the 1st time in my life

i always rented houses that had a fridge
or in the case of my Mexico City apartment
i used one my ex-boyfriend had

i feel a little more 'adult' today...
yaaay!



the Friends and Enemies is not only the intro to the post
but also a pretty good song from the
Everything But The Girl compilation, Back to Mine

11-11-11

a magical number

a magical date

and for me, today at noon

a door to a new life will open

endlessly, to life, i thank...

today has started as a cloudy day
but by now, it's sunny, coldish and
a beautiful day to live in San Diego, California!

a rainbow and a song

der Regenbogen
the rainbow
el arcoiris



- funny how, both German and English refer to the rain and the shape, in Spanish is about the shape too, but instead of the rain, the iris is mentioned, light

sights and sounds!

what else? if there's none!

und
das Lied
the song
la canción

mogwai fears satan, and i do too!

i think i have posted this song before
but now there's this version live in youtube
one of my favorite Mogwai songs ever!

the very first live concert i saw in San Diego
was Mogwai's... that night, after moving to a foreigner country
where i knew anybody, where i have been away from home
from friends, and live music
i saw this LIVE! this exact song opening the concert
and then i met one of my best friends ever
the so-called Perro

it was a bit over 10 years ago
but i still get goosebumps listening to it

Mogwai fears Satan, and i do too!
enjoy this beautiful video!

abandoned Halloween

35th Street, Normal Heights - San Diego, California

my poor blog has been abandoned for long
that is spooky!
between the plans of getting a new home
busyness at work, allergies and maladies
but today i stopped and took some bad photos
of a 'bad' Halloween home
hope you have a spooky one!


35th Street - I am glad I am not helping with the laundry...

Steve Jobs dies

and i am sad...

and yes, my first computer was a Mac

a Macintosh II

and even though i don't have a Mac anymore

nor an iPhone, i think the world has missed a genius

RIP Steve Jobs

if you had an old Mac, you'll recognize this icon

it was the 'bluescreen' for the Mac...

if you got one of these when you turned your computer

it was dead!

the classics

this little post
i started so many days ago
life taking over the blog again
but today, i need this little classic break
'modern' people seem to forget
the beauty of 'classics'
for me, any 'old classic' art
brings a breath of timeless breath
i think of Dickens, when i read this little
ghost story, walking around London so long ago
and Mendelssohn writing his music
and i like to think
that so many lives has past between them and me
that i feel little, but in a good way
and my maladies seem small, not big
so here here sharing today this
"Song" Lieder, Op. Posth Pagenlied, Felix Mendelssohn
singer: Maria Mohrmann-Messing



the Charles Dickens Ghost Story
To Be Taken with a Grain of Salt
or The Trial for Murder as it's called here
http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext98/3ghst10h.htm#3

from this wonderful little collection
The Oxford Book of Victorian Ghost Stories
Selected and Introduced by Michael Cox and R. A. Gilbert
