Corpse Bride. Loved it. Emily, the perfect name after my own... LOL Emily Strange, Emily Rose, and now this Emily... The animation was nice, the story predictable but ok, and absolutely loved the ending with the butterflies. Tim Burton is a genious. I still don't know WHY people say that Big Fish was not a strong story... I think it was... I loved it. It moved me, and THAT doesnt happen everyday. Whatever...

Invaded by the Credit Card abducters. Had to cancel mine because of many transactions coming from Neverland... WTF. Struggling with barely there money and now this... Woe always invites strangers for free and for unreasonable fun... That was the suckiest moment of the day.

Seems the gov will take some land from some people and turn it into the place for a train that will take tourists to the Caves of Cofresí Pirate and will link that place to Boquerón resort... Funny thing is that the lands are on sale and some people (house developers) were to buy it, and the sellers didnt mention that fact... You know the government... they take whatever they want whenever... But I must admit that the idea of a train linking those places is very alluring to me. I just hope they have security for cars, so the thing about car vandalism or getting stolen as in the Tren Urbano doesnt have a second chapter over here...

Saw the apartment owner and a check should be on my way tomorrow afternoon... Need it for the bath tiles, the waterproof glue and the sink-toilet set.

Friday morning will take auntie to her Disneyland... the grocery store and the post office. Gotta call the contractor to see if I should call the people of AAA and AEE. By midday I'll visit my house to see what's up and take some measurements. Gottta go to AEELA as well, to try getting the loan to pay the lady that sold me the house although paperwork will have to wait until next week... Its at my office...). May visit Lucinda at night, been a looong while since I last saw her ( and she was not in a good mood).

"Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh.....

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away

Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on - call my name
Will you all my name?

I say :
La la la...
When you walk on by...
And you call my name...
-Simple Minds, Dont u forget about me"

Dedicated to all my friends out there, although I don't talk to you regularly or see you regularly you are all regularly on my mind and on my heart.
Coriolis, Zordak, Lucinda, No Name, Groundel, Joe, LightShadow, LaSombra, Taz, Bubu, Rimmer, Lulú, El Calvo, Tetazo-Lady, Tribu de Texas... and late Mayra and Betsy who are both watching my back from Heaven...

********** End of Kodak moment ****************
********** back to regular schedule ****************

Thought of going to old San Juan on Saturday, but the weather broadcast foretells plenty of rain. So it may not be such a wise idea... And my budget is below the red line. Thinking that its best to leave that for next week... Still, don't know... Oh, and I almost forgot, the blue tiles arrive Sat afternoon... Eeeck!

Tired and blue... The usual. When will this provincial life will change...

Everyday... (yup, watch out... it's another musical score!)

"Little town, It's a quiet village
Ev'ry day Like the one before
Little town, Full of little people
Waking up to say: Bonjour!Bonjour!
Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!

There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Ev'ry morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town

Baker:Good Morning, Belle!
Belle:Good morning, Monsieur.
Baker:And where are you off to, today?
Belle:The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful story
About a beanstalk and an ogre and a -
Baker:That's nice. Marie! The baguettes!Hurry up!
Townsfolk:Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
Woman:Never part of any crowd
Man:'Cause her head's up on some cloud
Townsfolk:No denying she's a funny girl that Belle
Man I:Bonjour!
Woman I:Good day!
Man I:How is your fam'ly?
Woman 2:Bonjour!
Man 2:Good day!
Woman 2:How is your wife?
Woman 3:I need six eggs!
Woman 4:That's too expensive!
Belle:There must be more than this provincial life!

Bookseller:Ah, Belle.
Belle:Good morning, sir. I've come to return the book I borrowed.
Bookseller:Finished already?
Belle:Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?
Bookseller: Not since yesterday.
Belle:That's all right. I'll borrow . . . . this one!
Bookseller: That one? But you've read it twice!
Belle:Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise -
Bookseller:If you like it all that much, it's yours!
Belle:But sir!
Bookseller:I insist.
Belle:Thank you. Thank you very much!

Townsfolk:Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar
I wonder if she's feeling well
With a dreamy, far-off look, And her nose stuck in a book
What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle

Belle:Oh, isn't this amazing? It's my fav'rite part because --- you'll see
Here's where she meets Prince Charming, But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!

Woman:Now it's no wonder that her name means "Beauty"
Her looks have got no parallel
Shopkeeper:But behind that fair facade I'm afraid she's rather odd
Man:Very diff'rent from the rest of us
Townsfolk:She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle!"

-Beauty and the Beast

There must be more than this provincial life! Just the way to sum up all my feelings... 32, and still believing in fairy tales...
