saturday

it was a bit after 5pm today
and
i was in the verge of napping
sun over my head
when that distinct feeling of being observed
wake me up

listened to the humming of a bird...
there was a Kolibri right on top of my head
very close
staring at me

i couldn't fall asleep anymore
but felt in agreeable company since then
as when you have received the visit of a dear friend

the future of the future...

will still contain the past
time goes slow and time goes fast

great song by deep dish and everything but the girl
and a strange highly-kissing video



it is the weekend! and there is a full moon

pingu

lovely clay animation for young kids made in Switzerland
i used to watch these Pingu Episodes in Mexican TV, in Canal 11
the only decent TV channel in Mexico City

This is a nice episode: Pingu builds an Igloo
Althought it is missing Pingu's best friend Robbie the seal
I still enjoy them, even if I have been out of preschool for a while now

One thing that made these clay-cartoons so popular was the fact that they don't speak any specific language, but they communicate on "Penguinese"...

ColorBlender

a great tool online for designers, photoshop users
or color-lovers in general...

visit the link and play a bit with the RGB bars
and see how a matching colour palette is created
you can export your palettes to Photoshop, Illustrator
and find PANTONE matches
or e-mail yourself the colors selected
pretty cool!

go padres go!

I am not a huge Baseball fan
but it is always nice to know the San Diego Padres are on the Playoff!
and it is contagious to see a lot of San Diegans wearing Padres T-shirts
they lost the first round against the St. Louis Cardinals
but hopefully on the second round (about to start now...)
the Sun Diego sunshine will shine for the Padres! GO Padres GO!

help!

thanks to popefucker
who has an amazing collection of videos

here what i needed! and hope that
you, like me, start dancing shoe-less, ok, barefoot
on your living room...

or at least drum the fingers on your desk
c'mon & smile is
the beatles!!! they are here to rescue dull Monday nights



now sing along too...

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

ah nice!

and so September is gone...

Arrive Monday morning at the office
To print October’s calendar of office-events

A mellow Sunday yet social enough
Yesterday

Walked early on lovely Normal Heights to 35th street
To have breakfast with Tina and Tony
Matthew & Jeff (visiting from Albuquerque,
a recent new father with a lovely 6 months old)
joined the fest

Walked back home
Couple of hours later, visitors came back to my house
To walk literally around the corner
Where you can find cozy The Ould Sod
Finest Guinness and Stella, other drafts
In San Diego
In the mood of a very small calm bar
Where SCRABBLE tournaments happen
would be a good practice for my sometimes broken-English
And the maximum capacity runs to 99
But present we were on a 2pm Sunday sunny
Afternoon, just 10
Nice!
Then –what never happens to me
Took a long day nap!
Followed by Alex & Lisa visit with lemonade
The Guinness had left some strong after taste
thanks Lisa for coming!

Then dinner by myself and groceries shopping
In an indulgent phase
Flowers for my house and coffee to be back to work today

I missed your words!
But not your images
(I am glad i have some...)

Monday at the office back and again

October on the calendar hangs after printed
Now and for another 31 days…

Life around gets, still miss... ah! you

Recommended/remembered book of the day
I read it I think last year, for a lighter reading
with a superb dark mood
The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul
Douglas Adams, si señor!
I will have to confess that Odin's character left me some of his pickiness about the state of sheets, a fresh-made high linen class sheets, aaah! i want to take a nap now, but I have to work instead, oh! life...

director: jim jarmusch (a prolific director, i like almost every single one of his movies)
sountrack: legendary neil young (check out this link! his blog is a bit busy but highly interesting/informative)
some words stolen from: william blake
a superb cast (gary farmer as nobody does an excellent job)

one instrospective travel on darkness and beauty
a must-watch film!
