Just passing you by

for that’s all that i,
whether gloom or glad, can give
right now and right here.

Que no seas capaz, como me dec\’is, de escribir sobre “cualquier tema” es un buen indicio, no un motivo de desaliento. No creas en los que escriben sobre cualquier cosa. Las obsesiones tienen sus ra\’ices muy profundas, y cuanto m\’as profundas menos numerosas son. Y la m\’as profunda de todas es quiz\’a la m\’as oscura pero tambi\’en la \’unica y todopoderosa ra\’iz de las dem\’as, la que reaparece a lo largo de /todas/ las obras de un creador verdadero: porque no te estoy hablando de los fabricantes de historias, de los “fecundos” fabricantes de teleteatros o de best-sellers a medida, esas prostitutas del arte.

i’d wish mr wai were to direct more videos, but i’ll be more than happy just by seeing more of his movies

today i found meself happy of seeing the end of this academic semester approach. i’ve disliked it so much so far.

firstly,i was unable to go to some tango lessons at university this week. they were three classes and the time they were programmed was a time when i would normally have some free time; yet, for the first one i got a research project meeting scheduled at last minute, as well as got a class programmed simultaneously with the third lesson. therefore, i saw meself unable to assist and very frustrated at that. luckily, i was able to cancel my inscription, but that is such a sad comfort.

secondly, this week it hit me that awful truth i already knew. i go out on vacations for exactly two weeks. that means i wont really have time to rest of this academic frenzy. furthermore, those aren’t really vacations since i still gotta work during the entire lapse.

thirdly, there’ve been so many other clouds above and such series of unfortunate events lately. anyway, stopping with the whinning since it has already gone beyond the topic and since on that regard i’ll be the happy phantom, and coming back to the main topic, let us proceed with the goodies.

so, as soon as this academic semester ends, i shall certainly get time to enjoy accompanied by some friends, whether with people from the magister or from bob or with my sister-in-law; and, even though i truly enjoy drinking and wouldn’t mind getting wasted [nods to magister and to soXa], right now can’t but happily expect the going to the mountains with me sis-in-law. really, really feel a craving for being alone with the mountain , i am craving for that element.

now, to properly finish this outright-breaking-of-the-rules-i-placed-meself-fscking-dear-diary-entry-but-just-felt-like-telling-so-what post, let’s hear some fitting incidental music

<item> so, the idea behind the russian sky was pretty much about timing and about aliens catchy phrase.
i always enjoy meeting with desire’s twin sister.

<item> cheap lit… well, that’s it

<item> it is quite neat a criticism of late XIX century England and cute as a depiction of their societies.
and it also has the math it promises :D, it just ain’t the main subject, unlike the way they advertise (actually a good thing in this case :) )

<end of lame review>

at this pace the lame review mite become an actual editorial line in here. of course if you’d like an in-depth real review of something, this would certainly be NOT the right place to find it :P. for such, please refer to the links section under Music - Books - Movies.

the main reason, and perhaps the one, i like the x-men is this beautiful creature here named Phoenix.

Just for making meself clear here, i believe that character is soooo cool because in spite (or because, if you’d rather) of being this manifestation of the life force of every living being “[…] which does, has, and ever will, exist in all realities of the multiverse” [*], it is the most destructive thing in this universe, well the x-men multiverse, whatever :P, and that is simply gorgeous (i do melbi mi mi vau)
/sidewalk

this fact, of course, imposes some bias on my watching of the third x-men movie, since by now we all [probably] know that this beautiful creature makes its [explicit] entrance to the film saga; furthermore, it is played by this beautiful creature here.
the movie did live up to the expectations i had of it, they weren’t great but they certainly weren’t small either. i’d say the criticism i agree the most with, concerning this movie, is that there are too many sidekicks; [se puede demostrar que] that amount of characters implies each will get less (and less and less) screen time, not that i wanted a whole movie about clapping dragqueen mutant anyway.

in general, the neat stuff weighed more than the uncanny stuff in this film for me (even the really uncanny), and so it survives as a movie and thank the spaghetti i wasn’t really a fan of the x-ppl or i guess i’d be hearing myself repeating “Arwen was not there in that part of the story” once and again. in order to avoid throwing out some spoilers i will shut now. of course if you want some spoilers you can always read a real review.
