<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not a happy camper at the moment, I have spent the day doing nothing very much, pottering I would call it. I look back on today and to be honest I have achieved very little and I am not too happy with myself, I did not even manage to take a walk. I am not sure why I like this and I think that is the think that is bothering me so much. I have no idea what's wrong and I think if I did I would know how to get out of it. Physically I am not doing to bad except for the tiredness which is to be expected. Hmmm it can only get better.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pos si, desde ayer tengo en mi casa una instalación inalambrica para poder conectar mi portatil a Internet sin tener que desconectar el de escritorio. Lo instale anoche como a eso de la 1 de la mañana y de paso lo probe descargando ciertas cositas de las que ya les hablaré luego, funciono perfecto; pero ahora que lo voy a probar con el pc de mi hermana, un Vaio, resulta que no se le da la gana conectarse a la red, aunque aparezcan las 5 "rayitas" que indican que la potencia esta al máximo, pues con eso y todo, no se conecta, no sé que le pasa ni sé como arreglarlo.</p>
<p>De momento estoy nuevamente con el mio, esperando a que se me ocurra alguna forma de conectar el otro o de arreglar ese problema o de, en ultima instancia, dejarlo así, aunque ¿para qué un portatil si no puedo conectarlo a internet de forma inalambrica?</p>
<p>Pues bueno, por lo pronto a pensar, un saludo.</p>
<p>ps. Por cierto, pronto actualizaré las paginas, <a href="http://katokun.wordpress.com/wallpapers/">wallpapers</a>, <a href="http://katokun.wordpress.com/animewalls/">anime wallpapers</a> y <a href="http://katokun.wordpress.com/ecchi/">ecchi</a>, y publicaré unos <a href="http://katokun.wordpress.com/category/movies/reviews/">reviews</a>, suerte!!!</p>

<description><![CDATA[      Our farewell  party was winding down,  I was asked to come forward.  Gilgal Bible ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>      Our farewell  party was winding down,  I was asked to come forward.  Gilgal Bible Chapel (80 people tops on a Sunday morning)  wanted to present us with a going away present.  We'd lived among them for 5 years.    We'd worked together, cried together, sweat together, laughed together, prayed together....God had done <em>so many things</em> in my life, it was like a spiritual "boot camp."   I was given an envelope which my friend John suggested I   open  before  getting  off the stage....<strong>inside I found a check for $4000.00</strong>   (which by the way is framed and sitting on my bookshelf)</p>
<p> I used to read verses from the Bible like this from the book of Acts:</p>
<p>     <strong><em>"Now  the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.....and great grace was upon them all.  There was not a needy person among them...."  Chapter 4 vs 32-34 </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>       </em></strong> and wonder why Christians today didn't look like that.    Imagine my delight when God moved us  from Iowa to New Jersey, and  "planted us" in just   such a church ..<strong>and now it was time to return to Iowa.</strong></p>
<p><strong>      </strong>Our family  lived in "Christian community" for 5 years.   An experience like that is bound to leave a mark on your life.  Twice during that period,  someone gave us a  vehicle  when ours needed replacing- gave it...not a loaner...a gift. We've had people show up at our home with boxes of groceries, had a Christian landlord who knocked several hundred dollars a month off the rent because he knew our situation.  My employer (Mark) was also an  assistant pastors at the church.   When it became obvious we were struggling financially, we met with Kurt, (a church deacon and accountant)    Kurt said  I could use a $2.00 an hour raise without  a doubt.  Mark said not a problem - plus he wanted to  find a  way to offer health insurance and  give me a work vehicle to drive...because he saw his business as an extension of his faith.<strong>     </strong></p>
<p><strong>     </strong> Giving and receiving  acts of  Kindness has become such a part of the fabric of our life, I forget what it feels like to experience it for the first time.</p>
<p>    Lest you think I'm just a big "mooch" ;-)  </p>
<p>       We also opened our home for 3 months  to a lady<em> whose own son</em> was  going to let her wind up on the street.  I wrote more about that <a href="http://hearttoheart.wordpress.com/2007/12/20/she-started-out-as-someones-little-girl/">here</a>  She needed a place to stay and I wanted to work on being more assertive (figured if she was with us for an extended period of time then stuff was bound to happen.</p>
<p>      I'm not going to give you any more stories from my life lest it sound like I'm tooting my own horn...let's just say, I have no problem giving or receiving kindness, hospitality,  and unconditional love...it's just part of who we are as a family.</p>
<p>       I've heard people  say, <em>" I have no trouble helping someone else,  but struggle  to  receive.</em> " To you I  say,   "It's your pride,    If  God lays it on someones heart to help you, then  you need to let them."</p>
<p>       What are some of the surprising ways people have encouraged you?  How about ideas...do you have any suggestions (big and small ways) we  can encourage someone else?  My newest <a href="http://thereservoir.wordpress.com/">blogging friend Sharon</a>,  <a href="http://thereservoir.wordpress.com/"> posted something recently on encouragement </a> check it out.</p>

<title><![CDATA[The Top 10 Games I Never Played - Part 2]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span>In part one I talked about what a shame it is when a game has a great concept and artistic direction, but is so broken it's unplayable, as well as touching upon my personal unexplained apathy in concern to games I genuinely would like to play. Now i'm going to continue vaguely in the same vein, but with smaller numbers as is seemingly mandatory in these countdown lists.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:left;">
<p><span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">#5 - Alone in the Dark (The Original, PC)<a href="http://diablobasher.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/564567_97722_front.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-37 alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://diablobasher.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/564567_97722_front.jpg?w=245" alt="" width="201" height="241" /></a></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div></div>
<p><span></p>
<div style="text-align:left;"><span>After playing Alone in the Dark 2 - Jack is Back for the playstation many years ago as a child, I decided I LOVED this series. Unfortunately my endeavors to actually play the other two games in the series have fallen short of technical errors with XP/Vista much to my dismay. (We're not counting The New Nightmare, because it was shit. I don't care if <em>you</em> liked it, this isn't your blog.) After multiple attempts to play Alone in the Dark 3, which I kept in case I could ever find a way to play it without error. I live in hope that the new Alone in the Dark coming next month for PC/Wii and 360 will be as good as it looks. It can't be any worse than The New Nightmare, or the film, right? If not there is always Alan Wake.</span></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div><span> </span></div>
<div style="text-align:right;"><span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://diablobasher.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/dungeon_maker_hunting_ground.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-38 alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://diablobasher.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/dungeon_maker_hunting_ground.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="229" height="230" /></a>#4 - Dungeon Maker: Hunting Ground (PSP)</span></span></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div style="text-align:left;"><span> </span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<p><span> </p>
<p></span></p>
<div style="text-align:right;"><span>When I first read about this game after stumbling across it by mistake while searching for something else, it's premise blew my mind. I knew I wanted this game more than almost anything else I could think of at the time. Guess what? Never released in Europe. Thanks whoever is responsible, thanks and fuck you at the same time. I see little reason other than corporate head shaking towards profit figures that the game could not be released here, especially as it was given a north American release in 2007.</span></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div></div>
<p><span></p>
<div style="text-align:right;"><span>However, by the time I found out it had been given an NA release and decided to import, the game had become one of those 'rare' games nobody can find. Although I do feel some comfort in the fact that it is genuinely hard to find, presumably due to the fact it was a limited print run, unlike other so called 'rare' games (Mega Man X anyone? Or perhaps any of the Final Fantasies.) I continue my search in hopes of finding a sealed copy for a reasonable price, but having never seen one on eBay in my own country, and having only seen a handful from the states, I may have to take what I can find. But on the upside, at least there is a small chance I may actually get to play this one, unlike some of the games on this list.</span></div>
<div><span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">#3 - Namco X Capcom (Ps2)<a href="http://diablobasher.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/namco_capcom.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-39 alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://diablobasher.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/namco_capcom.jpg?w=209" alt="" width="168" height="238" /></a></span></span></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div></div>
<p><span></p>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;">Another game who's premise blew my mind upon first finding out about it. Another sad tale of import woe. After the sheer wonder that was Marvel VS Capcom, seeing Namco and Capcom characters team up to save the universe in an RPG made me want this game. A lot. Especially when I found out about the unique combat system, and inclusion of my favorite Capcom character of all time, Guy. However, realistically, I could not justify spending out on an import PS2 for this one game. So it sits on my shelf unplayable through legal means, and given my aforementioned laziness, I wont be playing it anytime soon, legally or illegally. At least with the previous tale of import woe, should I find a copy, I can rest assured that region lockout is not a problem.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:right;"><span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">#2 - System Shock (PC)</span></span></div>
<div></div>
<p><span></p>
<div style="text-align:right;"><span><a href="http://diablobasher.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/sysshock.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-40 alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://diablobasher.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/sysshock.jpg?w=216" alt="" width="150" height="203" /></a>Xerxes was great, sure. And System Shock 2 might have been every bit better than it's previous incarnation according to what people have told me. But I don't care about that, I want to experience the one that started it all. Yet again, such a classic falls victim to todays over protective operating systems, and despite finding more copies than I could shake a stick at in a pound shop (and wishing i'd bought and kept more than a few of them!) I could not get the game to play. Unfortunately, my copy is now nowhere to be found. Things get lost over time and unfortunately, my copy of System Shock was one of them, so I guess i'll never experience it. At least System Shock 2 runs fine on todays computers (if you fancy paying through the nose for a copy)</span></div>
<div style="text-align:right;"><a href="http://diablobasher.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/rock_band_cover.jpg"></a></div>
<div><span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">#1 - Rock Band</span><a href="http://diablobasher.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/rock_band_cover.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-41 alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://diablobasher.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/rock_band_cover.jpg?w=238" alt="" width="190" height="241" /></a></span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span></span></div>
<div><span><span></span></span></div>
<div><span><span><span></span></span></span></div>
<p><span><span><span><span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div></div>
<p><span></p>
<div><span>Everyone who lives in America, or is more import savvy than me has been playing this game for almost 7 months. I however, am feverishly counting down the days until it's European release. 11 days to go before I get to experience what looks to be one of the greatest rhythm games of all time, and possibly the <em>worst</em> European PR handling I've ever seen from a large multi-national corporation. Yes, in my personal opinion even worse than Sony's handling of the Playstation 3 release. While Rock Band might be late, and stupidly expensive, at least it's not crippled of it's features. (I hope)</span></div>
<div></div>
<p><span></p>
<div><span>This is by far the game I am most looking forward to playing this year, and it's a great shame that EA and Harmonix have their heads stuck so far up their arses they decided to treat their loyal European customers like shit. But what can you do? Well, here's what I did, buy the game from Play.com and give a big fat middle finger to VAT tax, that puts the game at a more reasonable £140. At least then you can enjoy the game for what you had expected to pay, even if like me, you lose yet another notch of respect for EA, and will now be more skeptical about further Harmonix purchases. Seriously guys, if you wanted to give a nice big two fingers to Europe, it shouldn't have taken 7 months to do so.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Well that's it, those were the top 10 games I never got to play, and some, I never will. Others however I may one day be able to enjoy, while Rock Band remains set to arrive on my doorstep this coming friday, the others may take some more effort to play.</span></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>* Mistake happens in Life. I did it too, you may have done it in the past. There is no point of digging grave. Probabaly time to do some work to make sure that it will not happen again.</p>
<p><a href="http://xkcd.com/424/">XKCD Tribute</a>.</p>
<p>* <a href="http://kstars.wordpress.com/">Kstar</a> (Akarsh Simha, GSoC candidate of KDE Project, Kstars) is in city (I mean his hometown!) enjoying his vacation, so I decided to meet him on Friday. I wanted to do it on Saturday but some other plan was there which indeed never happen and that is another story itself. Anyway, we met near MG Road/Brigede Road junction and went to Pizza Hut. Nice disucssion of 2 hours, nice pizzas and finally mandatory click. We talked from Debian to FOSS culture in IITM (Note that IITM has 2 most active DDs from India!).</p>
<p><a href="http://ftbfs.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/img1902.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-424" src="http://ftbfs.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/img1902.jpeg?w=300" alt="Me thinking?" width="300" height="199" /></a> <a href="http://ftbfs.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/img1904.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-426" src="http://ftbfs.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/img1904.jpeg?w=300" alt="Kstar and Kart_" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>* So, my Saturday was totally wasted due to silly things. Dear Kushal was not there in town -- so, none was there to annoy from me. I thought I was able to wash my all dirty clothes in the morning but, it was power cut! I waited till 12PM to bathe (Indeed, you can't take bath without power as bathroom is too dark, and I fear cockroach too much).</p>
<p>Power went again around 6 PM and I went outside, wondered here and there, came back to home. Still no power. OMG, it came after 10.30 PM!</p>
<p>Yet another reason to hate this city, BLR.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Per molt que el Liceu, en aquesta nova etapa de teatre públic, hagi volgut democratitzar l'òpera, la veritat és que no se'n ha sortit gaire bé. Encara resten molts tics del passat. El més palès és el de marxar, cap a casa o a sopar, en el primer entreacte quan l'obra no et sembla prou interessant. Ahir, va ser patètic: en el sector on jo estava (un sector d'abonament), al segon acte havia desaparegut una quarta part dels assistents. I una parella que era a la meva fila, va ser rebuda quan entrava per els seus veïns de butaca amb aquesta frase: <em>Al final us ho heu pensat, eh?</em> O sigui, que havien marxat amb intenció de no tornar, però segurament una trucada a la cangur, que els va assegurar que els nens estaven bé i dormint, els va dissuadir.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Es representava una obra gens fàcil: <strong><em>Mort a Venècia</em></strong>. La darrera òpera composta pel músic britànic Benjamin Britten basada en el conegut relat de Thomas Mann. El relat es molt conegut per la excel·lent versió cinematogràfica que en va fer Luchino Visconti el 1971. Ja han passat 37 anys? Potser ara em dono compte de que totes les coses que m'importen ja tenen més de 30 anys. A veure si m'estic convertint en Ferran Aschenbach! Deixem-ho aquí, que aquesta reflexió em podria portar a mons pels que no vull anar.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">De fet, la òpera és posterior al film i tant Britten com la seva llibretista, la senyora Myfanwy Piper, han confessat que es van prohibir a sí mateixos veure-la, fins no tenir acabada la òpera. No sé si amb aquesta decisió hi hem guanyat o perdut. He de reconèixer que sóc un incondicional tant del relat com del film i que els he llegit/vist no sé quants cops. El relat es llegeix en una hora i és gairebé impossible no trobar-hi nous matisos a cada lectura. El film és una mica més llarg: unes dues hores. I la òpera els guanya a tots dos: dues hores i mitja de música, que, amb l'entreacte se'n van a tres. Jo no sé si és cert que Britten i Piper no van veure la pel·lícula, però en adaptar el guió van coincidir en dues coses: prescindir de l'estança del protagonista a Pola abans d'anar a Venècia i donar-li una importància a les maduixes que no hi és al relat, a on només se'ns diu que Aschenbach les va menjar a la platja (una línia).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sembla que tant el relat com el film s'han convertit amb el temps en símbols de la pedofília homoeròtica, però em sembla que es confonen els qui veuen en <em>Mort a Venècia</em> la <em>Lolita</em> homosexual. Tant el relat, com el film i la òpera ens parlen de la bellesa, de l'origen de la bellesa. Les difoses tesis estètiques de Nietzsche sobre lo apol·lini i lo dionisíac es el que està en qüestió. En el relat es desenvolupa en forma de soliloquis del protagonista, reflexions íntimes sobre la seva capacitat creadora o, millor, sobre la pèrdua de tal capacitat. El film utilitza un recurs molt cinematogràfic, el flash back, per presentar-nos les discussions amb el seu amic <em>Alfred</em>, inventat per Visconti. En la òpera aquestes digressions es presenten en forma de somiejaments del protagonista. I, potser qui ho fa més evident és Britten, amb un Dionís (baix-baríton) que pren diferents caracteritzacions i un Apol·lo (contratenor) que no apareix mai en escena perquè, en definitiva, és l'esperit de la forma.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I així com la idea de Britten és molt atractiva en el pla dramàtic, a mi, personalment, no em va semblar prou reeixida en el pla musical. No coneixia en absolut aquesta òpera, que, d'altra banda, és el primer cop que es representa a Espanya; però si que conec, i en molts casos admiro, altres composicions d'ell. Potser les excessives concessions al serialisme i la utilització profusa de les dissonàncies és el que no em va acabar de fer el pes. Per a mi no és a l'alçada de les altres grans obres del músic britànic. I tampoc és el fet de que el paper protagonista hagi estat escrit per al seu marit, Peter Pears, un tenor amb unes característiques vocals poc comunes, que va interpretar el paper amb més de seixanta anys, i tingui una força i una vivesa poc habituals. Altres obres seves, com el <em>Billy Budd</em>, també havien estat escrites pensant en la veu de Pears.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Encara que també podria ser que Visconti m'hagués fet associar tant íntimament a Mann i a Mahler, que, ara, jo sigui incapaç de pensar en un sense sentir la música de l'altre. Em sembla que el propi Mann va confessar algun cop que havia havia pres Mahler com a model pel personatge de Aschenbach.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://maxaue.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/venecia1.jpg" alt="venecia1.jpg" /></p>
<p align="center"><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">Dionís i els faunes mentjant-se Aschenbach</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Qui indubtablement sí ha vist el film de Visconti, i no ho pot amagar, és el director d'escena Willy Decker. Des de l'estètica dels personatges (Bogarde/Andressen/Mangano) fins el paisatge de platja, són fills de Visconti. Fins i tot les germanes de Tadzio, que a Mann són més grans que ell, es converteixen en dues nenes de deu o dotze anys, com a la pel·lícula. Encara que només sigui per aquest treball escenogràfic, la nit va valer la pena.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://maxaue.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/venecia9.jpg" alt="venecia9.jpg" /></p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://maxaue.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/venecia2.jpg" alt="venecia2.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Jo no estic gaire interessat en aquestes polèmiques sobre estètica, apol·lini, dionisíac, però ja que m'hi he ficat, no penso acabar sense dir-hi la meva. Per això és el bloc, oi? A mi em sembla que podem parlar de la natura de l'art, però del que no podem dir res és del "art de la natura". La Natura no és art; és natura, simplement. Jo sempre he dit que <em>vist un arbre, vistos tots</em>. I el mateix es pot dir de muntanyes, animals, rius i cossos humans. Potser sigui fruit de la meva deformació, convicta i confessa, d'urbanita irredempt, però no crec en l'art com a simple explosió de sentiments. Sense treball dur, sense coneixements profunds, sense perseverança, només hi ha <em>Operación Triunfo</em>. Potser són aquesta mena de programes televisius els que ens mostren amb tota la seva amplada el significat de lo dionisíac: la vacuïtat, la manca de sentit i, fins i tot, la xavacaneria. I amb això no vull dir que aquesta feina ben feta i sistemàtica s'aconsegueixi la bellesa; el propi Aschenbach n'és un cas palès. La seva feina no regeix i el seu amic Alfred (al film de Visconti) se'n riu d'ell, dient-li que ha aconseguit la perfecció de la forma, després d'haver estat xiulada la seva obra a la sala de concerts. Però, algú pot creure que sense la feina sistemàtica i planificada es pot aconseguir un mínim tast de la bellesa?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ja ho sé: soc un fastigós neopositivista. Però, al menys, ho sé reconèixer. Hi ha molta gent que circula pel món sense saber quines són les seves premisses ideològiques bàsiques. I no fa falta argumentar gaire per arribar a la conclusió de que el neopositivisme té alguns avantatges importants:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Conté la mínima metafísica imprescindible. Bàsicament es tracta de negar l'existència del <em>geni maligne</em> cartesià i del <em>noumeno</em> kantià.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Només accepta els ents abstractes que es puguin descobrir per un procés axiomàtic deductiu.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No es pot negar que tot això simplifica l'existència humana. Tampoc puc negar que no penso discutir-me amb aquells que tinguin ganes de complicar-se-la. És una opció de vida perfectament legítima; només que això: més complicada.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I no puc acabar sense fer una mica de safareig. Algú em va explicar un cop, i no sé si és cert del tot, que el primer actor que va escollir Visconti en el <em>casting</em> per a fer el paper de Tadzio, va ser el seu fillol, en Miguel Bosé. Em sembla que ho hagués fet tan bé com el Bjorn Andresen, i ara seria un fetitxe més autèntic encara del que ja és. Però, i és el que volia dir, sembla que son pare, el torero Luis Miguel Dominguín, va declinar el permís patern per a fer el paper. I és que el món del braus, no casa gaire amb determinades preconcepcions. Ja he dit que no sé si és cert. No voldria acabar en un jutjat per una cosa tant idiota. O sigui que si no ho és, només heu de dir-m'ho i ho esborro.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://maxaue.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/venecia7.jpg" alt="venecia7.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per cert, en Bjorn Andresen i jo vam néixer amb deu dies de diferencia. Però jo sóc molt més guapo. Hahahahaha.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anger is very often seen as something negative. If I talk about being angry I very often have to defend it. But  anger is a good thing that helps you feel your borders. It is more anxious for anger or pent-in anger that can make people make a drama round it. Anger in it self is a powerful healthy feeling that tells you that something has crossed you boundaries, and you have to change the situation.  I want to dare my anger, I want to use my anger to put my food down and dare telling what I think is wrong. I want to do that 100% and I want to learn that It is my right to do it. I believe that people can feel if you are true to your feelings, and that you are taken more seriously, if you dare your feelings. I believe that you get a more true contact to the other persons if you dare your feelings. But I still have to experience it myself.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Helix aspersa or garden snail is edible. But since A and I have not got around to eating snails yet (or at least not killing them ourselves and then eating them), it thrives in my garden. Wikipedia <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_aspersa" target="_blank">tells m</a>e it is a chief ingredient in skin creams and gels sold within the Latino community and used for wrinkles, scars, dry skin, and acne.  It is also served as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escargot" target="_blank">escargot</a>. In gender talk, it is a hermaphrodite.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I called Friday to see if any results were in from the scans. I couldn’t wait any longer. The results were in so I got to speak to a nurse. She told me that the ultrasound came back normal meaning that my liver size, gallbladder size, and kidney size were good. There were no stones found. No masses found. That was a relief.</p>
<p>The second test that was the hidascan and it apparently showed some problems with my liver and my gallbladder. The nurse would not go into the details with me. She said that the doctor would have to follow up with me on Monday and go over what would be her next step. <strong>Now what the fuck is that!? </strong>The nurse tells me there is a problem but doesn’t explain what the problem is and leaves me to worry over the weekend until Monday to wait on the doctor. I asked her, “You can’t tell me over the phone?” she said, “The doctor will have to follow up with you Monday on what she wants to do next.” So great I said.</p>
<p>So we’ll see what my doctor says Monday morning when I call her first thing. I’ll keep you all posted. Thank you for your recent comments, thoughts, and prayers. It helps knowing that some people care out there. I hope all is well with you cyber pals.</p>

<description><![CDATA[ Victoria Beckham and British Vogue aside, the Brits do not seem to have the same sort of appearance]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-237" src="http://metafootnotes.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/vogue.jpeg?w=71" alt="" width="71" height="96" /></a> Victoria Beckham and British Vogue aside, the Brits do not seem to have the same sort of appearance hangups as we Yanks, particularly the women. I was surprised to see Dame Diana Rigg appear on an afternoon talk show looking like she'd just come in from working in the garden, unashamedly wrinkled and grey, and indifferently dressed. She wouldn't be allowed look like that on Oprah or the Today Show. I watched a special on the long-running British soap <a href="http://www.itv.com/coronationstreet/">Coronation Street</a>, and marveled at the amorous adventures of Eileen Grimshaw, played by Sue Cleaver, one of several characters who are definitely middle aged and not particularly glamorous. The only American character I could even compare her to was Roseanne, and she certainly wasn't much of a television sex icon.</p>
<p>Fashion on the street runs the gamut, high chic to grunge. I ran across one little ancient lady in the Tube station in a suit, scarf, hat, pin and white gloves, and many of the older Brits at the theatre matinees are conservatively attired, but most everyone else is casually dressed, often with a bit of European flair. Scarves are a big accessory, with the more texture, the better. Skinny jeans are big, as are leggings and longish shirts or dresses. Lots of ethnic influences are evident, too, particularly in the jewelry, and I've admired a lot of fun little swingy jackets. Big bags/purses still reign.</p>
<p>Most British women have thickish ankles, indifferent hair, less-than-straight teeth — and absolutely <em>radiant</em> skin, which just about makes up for everything else they might be lacking. I'm constantly astonished and more than a little envious, although even my desert-parched skin has perked up noticeably since we arrived. I just wear mascara, mostly, and it's a relief. (We should put humidifiers in every room!)</p>
<p>It was still chilly when we landed, and everyone was in boots, but now that the weather's warming, the trainers, flip-flops and sandals have started to appear. Flats are universally preferred, particularly on the Tube, since you can't "mind the gap" or navigate the escalators very well in platforms or stilettos. I'm personally reluctant to go out in sandals much because the city is so dirty (I have the same problem when I go to New York), but no one else seems to mind.</p>
<p>I haven't been to Oxford Circus and Regent Street yet (the "centre" of shopping), so I may have other observations when I get back. I need to find a "mother-of-the-groom" dress, and I know beforehand that I'll have to go one size up to get anything to fit!</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Mis estimados lectores, el dìa de ayer tuve problemas tècnicos con mi <a href="http://store.apple.com/001-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/mexicostore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=MTU3Mzgz&#38;fnode=home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/mice_keyboards&#38;nplm=MB167LL/A">Apple Keyboard,</a> como cada mañana antes de iniciar mis actividades limpio mi escritorio con un magitel humedecido con una espuma para limpieza de computadoras, todo normal limpie el teclado y encendi el Macbook Pro, cual va a ser mi sorpresa que al teclear mi contraseña simplemente el teclado no respondia, reinicie el sistema, cambio de puesrtos usb, seque de nueva cuenta el teclado, cheque el sofware, mil cosas pero nunca funcionò el maldito teclado.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Despues de mucho analizar tuve que hacer uso de mis ahorros, para ir en busqueda de un nuevo teclado me levante con la idea de comprar el Apple Keyboard pero en versión inalambrico, era buena oportunidad para conocer el nuevo el <a href="http://jamdm.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/apertura-manana-de-apple-store-tec-de-monterrey/">Exa Apple Campus Store</a> ubicado en el Campus Monterrey del Tecnologico de Monterrey, cheque el horario de apertura 10 a.m. entre lo cuàl no hubo ningùn problema nada màs el guardia pregunto a donde me dirigia, le comente y me apunto en una lista de acceso y adelante, la tienda es pequeña pero tiene todos los equipos de Apple, y acessorios solo un pequeño detalle NO tenian ninguno de los nuevos teclados <a href="http://store.apple.com/001-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/mexicostore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=MTU3Mzgz&#38;fnode=home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/mice_keyboards&#38;nplm=MB167LL/A">Apple Keyboard</a>, me saque de onda se supone que siendo una tienda oficial deben tener todo, me lanzo una mirada el <a href="http://store.apple.com/001-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/mexicostore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=MzgyMjQ&#38;fnode=home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/mice_keyboards&#38;nplm=MB111ZM/A">Migthy Mouse Inalambrico</a>, me sedujo no lo pude evitar y lo compre. Iba por un teclado y sali con un mouse, me urgìa el teclado asì que me lanze a la tienda de <a href="http://">Macgic World </a>autorizada por Apple ubicada en Galerìas Valle Oriente, abren a las 11 a.m. llegue pasadas las 11:20 habìa gente adentro pero tenìa un candado toque y me señalo con una mano espere tantito, bueno espere 11:20, 11:50 me pare observe que estaban haciendo inventario, le volvì a preguntar por el vidrio a otros de los empleados que a que hora abrìan me comento en unos momentos, en el tiempo que estuve esperando pasaron al menos 6 clientes pero como vieron el candado se fueron, 12:20 ya me desespere le toque màs fuerte y le pedi que se acercara uno de los empleados, le comente tengo màs de una hora esperando que abran, me dice es que estamos en inventario, y vamos abrir despuès de la 1, ....como? o sea que me tenian ahì parado sin tener la amabilidad de poner un aviso, o la atenciòn de verte parado si estas ahì es porque te urge algo, total se acerco otras de las muchachas que atienden le comente que necesitaba comprar un Apple Keyboard me paso me dio el precio y despuès me comento sabe que.. NO hay no mam....una hora para que me dijera no hay, nunca lo hemos vendido, total mala experiencia, mala atenciòn y perdida de tiempo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Espero conseguirlo en otro lado, por lo pronto estoy con un teclado de Microsoft, no me acostumbro.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buenas tardes/noches. Acabo de estar viendo alguna pagina que otra relacionadas con mi pasado, aunque no se si se le puede llamar de tal forma a unos meses atras, y que en cierta manera me ha hecho reflexionar sobre el presente. No es que me haya puesto nostalgico, mas bien me ha desconcertado. Me he dado cuenta de como mis acciones se ven limitadas de manera estupida por el <em>¿que diran?</em> y de lo que uno puede llegar a perderse por una conducta como esta. Ayer, tras llegar a casa de madrugada, me puse a dar tumbos por la red pese a que mi sueño me pidiese de manera inquisidora que me marchase a dormir... No hice mal en no hacerle caso, pues tope con un post bastante interesante, por no decir demasiado, que lleva como titulo '<a title="Lo siento, pero alguien te lo ten�a que decir" href="http://www.elsentidodelavida.net/lo-siento-pero-alguien-te-lo-tenia-que-decir" target="_blank">Lo siento, pero alguien te lo tenía que decir</a>'. Este post ha podido ser uno de los detonantes que me ha hecho recurrir a la escritura como necesidad de 'desahogo', asi como ilustro el pensamiento que me acompañaba anoche mientras caminaba solo de vuelta a casa, mientras deberia estar borracho y conociendo a dos chicas que nunca antes habia visto.</p>
<p>La unica conclusion, asociando el origen de este post con su inicio, es que cierto grupo de personas entre las que me incluyo, tenemos una absurda tendencia a prometernos hacer oidos sordos al resto, a hacer las cosas que queramos sin dar cuentas a nadie, y nunca terminamos de hacer oidos sordos.</p>
