un blog dedicado a la extinción de la patanería

I was not sure about reading the books, a friend told me to read them and lend me the first and the second, I took about 4 weeks to begin to read the first, I recall I began while waiting for my dentist…

The book captured me since the beginning, the author writes in a very sensitive way, and takes you inside the story easily, besides, her characters are round up, well constructed, with qualities and misdemeanors. She portraits them like complete human beings.

I am a fast reader, and I read the book quickly and then reread it, just to catch on all details (that’s my reading habit), then came the second which was darker and so full of angst… I guess it’s my least favorite book of the series…

It was then when I realized that the Harry Potter story is a modern version of Cinderella, the main character lives a horrible life with his relatives until someone saves him, but is not a beautiful fairy godmother, is a bushy and rude giant who takes him to a world he never imagined it existed, and the main character has to face his enemy, all by himself…. Quite coherent with this age “save yourself” tendencies.

The third book offered a quite different statement, throwing Harry headfirst into danger, but also our hero enjoys a little more liberty, far from the Dursleys… then the Sirius Black character was introduced, and truth to tell, he is a force to be reckoned with… and then we all got really angry that Harry couldn’t go to live with him.

The fourth book was clearly an event that every fan was waiting for, and the book lived up the expectations of the people, in this book the author began the book with Voldemort… a tendency that she would keep

The long waited fifth was clearly the proof that a writer must not be put under pressure: the author was blocked and it’s quite evident… this one is my second least favorite of the series… and the worst part was Sirius death which if you ask me was very stupid… something more heroic would be better.

The sixth was way better and was the beginning of a wrap up of the series, still the death of a certain long standing character was a blow to most fans and well. The main character begins to have a very strong change, he is a teenager, he is impulsive and he is getting impatient…

And then it comes the final book, all of us, the fans where waiting for this with anxiety (we wanted to know the ending) and dread (there would be no more books). I personally maintained my self isolated from all Harry potter sites to avoid spoilers (the goddamn leaks…) and maintained the same policy while I was reading the book… I was entertained, I despaired, I cried, I screamed, I cried again and I was surprised.

I think the ending was good (could be better… could be worse) the author did a neat job, after all not all authors know how to give a good ending to a good story), not all fans will be satisfied, after all, the Potterverse is something alive, in the mind of every fan, and in the collective mind of the fandom and each had their own ideas of how it was going to end… she could not please everyone, right?

I think that the story was so rich, so tangled, with so much characters…. That it would take another book to wrap the entire story properly, she promises a Harry Potter encyclopedia where there will be some wrap up…

As the author said in one interview:
[More details to come?
Rowling said she may eventually reveal more details in a Harry Potter encyclopedia, but even then, it will never be enough to satisfy the most ardent of her fans.
“I’m dealing with a level of obsession in some of my fans that will not rest until they know the middle names of Harry’s great-great-grandparents,” she said. Not that she’s discouraging the Potter devotion!
“I love it,” she said. “I’m all for that.” ]
The interview will be found here (be warned has A LOT OF SPOILERS it will be better to read if you have already finished the book) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19959323/
I guess, the details will be up to the fanfic writers
When I finished the book I felt empty… there would be no more story, no more of that sense of community in the Harry Potter Fans… and this is sad.

I have to thank J.K. Rowling for writing a story that allowed us to dream, to fantasize… to give us a sense of belonging … and to give us the world she created…

Thank you J.K. Rowling

esto es segun el test de la pelicula THE GOLDEN COMPASS

Creo que ningun tema enfrenta de manera tal a los hombres contra las mujeres como el tema del aborto, ahi es cuando sale el machismo más acendrado tanto en hombres como en mujeres, yo siempre he creido que la mujer tiene derecho a decidir sobre su propio cuerpo de una manera informada y responsable. hoy me encontre este articulo de un columnista que se dedica a analizar la television de lunes a viernes y los domingos comenta cuestiones politicas.

pienso que sus pensamientos son acertados, por favor echenles un ojo

this video is a very good one, it has a strong message...

sorry I haven't figure it out how to post the link directly,sorry about that

I am: William Gibson The chief instigator of the "cyberpunk" wave of the 1980s, his razzle-dazzle futuristic intrigues were, for a while, the most imitated work in science fiction.

Which science fiction writer are you?

Jamás había sido fan de las consolas de Nintendo (mis primos me traumaban con su facilidad para el Nintendo) hasta ahora, debo decir que los primeros anuncios de lo que iba a ser posible hacer con el control me tomaron por sorpresa… siempre he sido muy mala con los botoncitos… pero la posibilidad de poder manejar el wii mote como si fuera una espada me pareció de lo más interesante.

Wii Sports.- simple y muy divertido, jugarlo o ver que alguien juega es muy divertido, el golf es mi favorito, ya que fue un deporte que practique y me agrada muchísimo el poder jugarlo sin la caminata, los moscos y cargar la %&/ bolsa… el box es mi segundo favorito… los tiro a la lona en 10 segundos…Boliche…. Es muy divertido para jugar entre cuates, Tenis… muy atlético y útil para hacer ejercicio… Béisbol…. Jamás pude darle a la pelota y no es la excepción…. Aun así vale la pena

Red Steel… muy interesante pero necesitas acostumbrarte poco a poco, al principio te das una mareadota por los movimientos de cámara… que bien se siente poder usar el wiii mote como espada

Zelda.- lo mismo, al principio te das cada mareadota… pero las graficas son excelentes y el sistema de juego es muy interesante, verdaderamente te puedes llegar a perder en el mundo de Hyrule

Rayman Raving Rabidds.- este juego es la locura, la historia es simple, Rayman y sus amigos son capturados por unos conejos sicópatas quienes lo usan de entretenimiento en su coliseo, en el que Rayman debe pasar distintas pruebas, de agilidad, puntería, exactitud, coordinación, etc. Los juegos son muy divertidos y variados y en ocasiones te dejan el brazo muy cansado… (en palabras de un amigo… “Ahí cuando se te caiga el brazo me avisas) eso si, haces bíceps… el final del juego… bueno solo les diré que es el más ojete final que he visto… una ventaja del juego, si te dejan con el hermanito de 2 años, se va a quedar fascinado viendo como juegas tu con los conejos

Rampage.- eres un monstruo y tu trabajo es destruir la ciudad edificio por edificio, para curarte puedes comer gente y para conseguir poderes, debes cumplir algunos desafíos, un juego tremendamente catártico para esos días en que el jefe se pone de payaso… la persona que he visto que ha aguantado más tiempo fue una chica que conozco, quien duro 2 horas y media destruyendo ciudades, lo dejo no por que quisiera, si no por que ya casi no podía mover los brazos…

Wii es una gran consola, no esperes grandes gráficos pero si horas y horas de diversión familiar (si mi padre aun viviera hubiera adorado el golf)

El strap… el wii mote tiene un Strap para la muñeca, sin embargo, hubo muchos incidentes ocasionados por los fans que se emocionaron demasiado, personalmente vi como a una amiga se le soltó el wii mote (por fortuna el strap resistió) si te emocionas demasiado o te sudan mucho las manos… consiguete con guante con grip.

I went to the TNT con this weekend, this time the cosplay was very good, and I have a few photos (sorry about the crappy quality)

This girl cosplayed as Felicia, she was not wearing the usual likra bodysuit and not even a g string… and I bet she got some wax applied…
That’s a brave girl



this orc cosplay was great… the make up was head to toe



I loved the geishas



this doom really looked impressive



my favorite… this Rose of Versailles, that’s what I call a cosplay

at work, we made the yearly christmas swap... and I loved my gift, an aromatherapy set





I loved them,, the person who made the gift is very keen and knows I love those things... the candle is even the same color than the cubicle walls...

Take The Which Fallen Angel Would You Be Quiz
Brought to you by Angel August's Abode

Ironically for an evil angel, Penemue was the curer of stupidity.
This seems to go against church doctrines which state that demons are stupid.
However, a demon needs to be intelligent and cunning in order to be able to tempt the wisest of men.
He also taught man the bitter and the sweet, and the secret of their wisdom.
Worst of all, he taught the use of ink and paper in writing.
For God had said that human beings were not created for such purposes.

El día de hoy falleció el periodista Jesus Blancornelas, fundador del semanario Zeta. su larga trayectoria periodística y literaria se distingue por su valor para denunciar la corrupción de las autoridades y la influencia del narcotráfico en el país, fue el quien lanzo a la opinión publica a Carlos Arellano Félix y por ello y muchas otras denuncias sufrió atentados contra su vida y amenazas. se trataba de un periodista íntegro y valiente, que como el mismo decía:

“Si yo dejara de mencionarlos (a los narcotraficantes), si no dijera lo que están haciendo, pensarían ‘ese cuate ya se dobló’. Si ellos vieran eso, le harían lo mismo a otros compañeros. Para mi escribir sobre ellos es como un seguro de vida”.

Blancornelas falleció de causas naturales el día de hoy, ésta es la nota necrológica:

months ago I had to search old newspapers, I found this...



Funny thing, is that China is one of the most powerful countries now....

We awoke en Belfast this Monday

I remember… 15 years ago, that we saw the news about Ireland about the IRA bombings and we though about them with pity… 5 years later, the terrorism was strong in spain, but everything seemed so distant… we read about the drug war in Colombia and saw it so far… once I read an article about the kidnappings in Italy… the guerrilla in center america

It was so far, it was so distant it was so terrible

It seemed a nightmare

And we awoke on Monday and is not a nightmare any more…

3 years ago the kidnappings began… and they are still strong, they are more refined, they are a reality

The drug bosses are the owners of the north and the border…
The whole state of Oaxaca has been taken over by a rebel group… isn’t that a guerrilla, isn’t that a rebellion..isn’t that a problem?
This monday 6th of November… 5 bombs exploded in several places of the city, home made bombs, made with common ingredients… (someone saw V for Vendetta… someone read some manuals in the internet)… and then the city became more hostile than ever…

Martial law should be decreed…I guess

And then I remember the words of someone (forgive my memory…) that those who trade security for liberty don’t deserve none…

Either way we are in deep shit

after months in a tiny desk, I was changed to a bigger one, almost private and with a lot of space, in the informal hierarchy of the office this gives me more importance

the entrance

me cae que hubiera sido el unico pensante el 2 de julio

One week and 3 days since a group of stupid activists took one of the main avenues of the city to make their point clear (their point has nothing to do here, valid or not, they have no right to affect the rest of the city) the traffic has become a terrible problem, almost all citizens have to take alternate routes, which are, to say the least, full of traffic… and what the activists say? “rise earlier “ … preposterous

The denizens (I guess is the best term for them) have camped in the streets, enjoy electricity, food and even have sports and fun, all paid by the government of the city, hence, by us, the citizens… that comes from our taxes…

So, isn’t that lovely? They threw the city into a chaos, the commerces and restaurants are suffering, they are firing their employees, the tourism is suffering… and the economy is being affected.. do the denizens care? No… “Blame the government, they say”

They vandalize, they paint walls, they throw dirt to the streets and people… but they are expressing themselves…

If you tell them something, you are repressing them… that’s why the government does nothing… they preach hatred and intolerance… but they are expressing themselves

The activists:

¿Se acuerdan ustedes del cine Bella Epoca? ¿Estaba localizado en la condesa, en la esquina de las calles de Tamaulipas y Benjamin Hill? Era un cine donde pasaban peliculas clasicas y duro mucho tiempo, antes se llamaba cine Lido, despues Bella Época y en sus últimos meses, la película Cinema Paradiso duro tanto que mucha gente pensaba que ese era el nombre del cine, despues cerro y mucho tiempo se quedo cerrado, decayendo... finalmente lo comenzaron a desmontar y muchos vimos con tristeza el fin de el cine...

Para fortuna de todos, el viejo cine fue remodelado y convertido en la libreria Rosario Castellanos, de la Conaculta, hace unos días entre, y mi sorpresa fue mayor

La entrada




Tiene incluso estacionamiento para bicicletas



Adentro, hay libros, cd’s, DVD



La decoración es increible





Un jardín interno





Una cafeteria



Un area para los niños



Un cine… el cine Lido





Una sala de lectura donde te puedes sentar a hojear un libro descaradamente sin que nadie te diga nada

the world cup was on... mexico is playing... see what happens...

this is one of the streets that are most full of traffic and people ... normally...



turning to the other side and the view is this



where was the people?



I just hope they be so attentive at the elections of july 2th

well those are the bicycles... the blue one is mine
