"Mantener el alma en estado de marcha,
mantener el contingente a distancia,
mantener el alma por sobre la refriega,
mantener a Dios como una idea cualquiera,
un apoyo, una eventualidad,
una comarca salvaje del universo político,
mantener las promesas de la infancia,
mantener a raya la adversidad,
no dar cuartel al adversario,
mantener la palabra abierta,
hacer pagar caro a sus debilidades,
no dejarse arrastrar por la corriente,
mantener su rango en el rango de aquellos
que están decididos a mantener al hombre
en posición estimable,
no dejarse seducir por lo fácil
bajo el pretexto de que los peores
se elevan cómodamente al más alto nivel mientras
los mejores difícilmente mantienen el camino,
ser digno del privilegio de ser
bajo la forma más lograda: el hombre.
O mejor aún, la mujer."
No, no soy feminista. Se puede ser humanista y sociópata al mismo tiempo????
By Jean Pierre Rosnay, btw.

Bitter Silence
And the little spider in the upper corner of the living room must think I am nuts, I must be, because spiders don`t think, and intelligent humans would never even use one second of their time to think about it... Poor little spider, I have no heart to kill her. I`ll adopt her as my pet. At least no one will stole her...
What the hell, try it, it is a good sarchastic feeling.. Honey, I am home.
Then, absolute silence, you make a cup of tea and open a book. That is the only conversation you`ll get. Oh well, at least one can pick an interesting one.
What are you laughing at?

+Animation @ Oscars+
On short films, althought the most likely to win in my opinion is Ryan, it looks like Birthday Boy could have a chance this year at the Oscars.
I found a little preview of this short animated film, made by an australian student, here.
Ryan seems quite interesting, though...
Other nominees are Gopher broke, Guard dog and Lorenzo.
The long ones are the horribles "A sharks tale" and "Shrek 2" , so I predict the winner will be "The incredibles" (uh, I found this one a little amusing, at least Edna made me laugh. Some cinism is always welcome. Okay Okay I love Pixar).

Morfina
Una mariposa cruza el cielo nocturno. Las señales luminosas la ciegan. Titubea. Continúa su vuelo. Se acerca a un farol. Mira el río de luz que dejan los faros de los autos, que pasan, como un bolido, indiferentes, sin cesar. Apura el vuelo. Contempla la luna.
Vuela con una herida que no cicatriza, y la luna, la maldita luna, lo sabe.
Un ensayo de ternura, su sonrisa. Inventada y fugaz.
Volar sin fuerzas. A donde? Volar sin rumbo. Sin dirección. Volar con alas rotas. Volar porque el suelo es demasiado peligroso. Cerrar los ojos. Desear caer. Volar. Volar. Volar. Sin rumbo fijo. Volar.
El horizonte, un espejo.
Atrapada, volar.

+Vodka nights+
"When you stare into an abyss for a long time, the abyss also stares into you"
@Nietzche
The best thing of going to a gay club is to see the horrified face of your brother seated in a corner.
The second best thing is to have a weitress filling your glass with vodka before you finish it.
The third best thing is the moment when the lights and the energy of the music blend into you, and you just stop thinking and start having fun.
Thanks, DJ, for Satisfaction.

Weather Report
It rained yesterday on Titan. It could rain again tomorrow. But instead of water, it rained liquid methane.
Rain has been a theme today. It woke me up this morning. It stopped outside, but continued inside.
Flood alert.

Evil
So, a while a go, a friend told me about Interpol, and I didnt pay too much attention. Later I DL the album. And now I am loving it. Just saw this video of Evil.
Not that great, though, but Charlie White puppet art is there.

Escape from the Universe
"No fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought or feeling, can preserve a life beyond the grave… all the labours of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system; and the whole temple of man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins."

From "Escape from the Universe" at Prospect Magazine. Great article.
Otra solitaria noche de insomnio. Getting used to it. Sometimes even loving it.

Bon Jour
A poem woke me up this morning. Y toda la mañana he estado como atravesada como por un cuchillo de sol. (And I have been all the morning like stabbed by a knife made of sun...)

The transcript of Free Culture: Lawrence Lessing Keynote on OSCON 2002.
Still fresh as hell, and well worth the reading.

Ingmar Bergman
Ayer fui bautizada con mi primer película de este director de cine escandinavo.
Sorprendente. La película que vi fue hecha en 1973 y juro que no parpadeé ni una sola vez.
Eso no es todo, me provocó una singular respuesta emocional.
Lástima que sólo tengo acceso a una más, y se acabó... Ay, Hermosillo...
LTR
Oh dear...
