HOUSE STILL 4 SALE

Well, for what it's worth, it is still 4 sale and I would not sell it if I could somehow pay for it... I'll always like the idea of what I wanted this house to become...

Migraine & ear pain ...

Well, for the last week and a half I have been enduring migraine and ear pain thank you very much... It has been quite anoying, with a peak on Sat and Sun when I had to render myself unconscious and let medicines do their magic. Today the pain is there but is a bit more bearable... The doctor's appointment is for Friday (gee, now that's fast...) so hopefully by then it will get better enough for me to actually walk the walk to the doctor's haven.

Finished the Database2 class, with a high A of course. This one went fast and smoothly. I hope that the next two go the same way. Just a digital design class and a portfolio class... so I get the Web design degree. Yay! The year went really, REALLY fast. Gathering pictures to see if I can complete the scrapbook from 2007... Looking back is like these last two years went with a flash. I can't believe the fast-forward to now... Everything changed in every way imaginable! Hopefully for the best.

Moviewise, well... saw Jennifer's Body and Nostradamus 2012.

JENNIFER's BODY: Well. if you go with a teen mind, it is not so bad. It was short and sweet. People critique nailed it... but gee, no one nailed Transformers or GIJoe and now THAT was BAD scripting! I liked the idea of the movie, it was ok, taking into account the new vampire/werewolf/supernatural craze. Right there with pther corny movies, but watchable.

NOSTRADAMUS 2012: Nice documentary to make your fatalistic fetishes come to life. Yup, we are near the end of the Mayan calendar, and I suspect that on 2012 there will be the same craze as in the big Y2K thinguie... But watching it is a bit eerie, as we all know where we are heading with the pole meltdown, the broken ozone layer and the deforestation. We are in to many big catastrophies... that is VERY certain. This movie plus reading the FATIMA profecies, will leave you pretty mind-f&#*@d-up.

Yesterday night revisited GIJane as it was showing on TNT... I had not noted Vigo Mortenssen in there! Oh, my! LOL Something good out of that movie?

Family being funny. Seems there is a bad case of siblings rivalry or something. I feel like a referee where people go to complain... Este es el centro de quejas del negocio, puede quejarse en paz!. Come on, people... We are dealing with a situation that is a big thing and you are battling for the prune juice war? Gosh... Where are the priorities!

Really... they come to us telling us these daily mundane stories that are so irrelevant and ironic in their own way. We smile and answer and offer our advise... while dealing with our set of big problems that no one can help solve. You got it bad because you need to give shots of insulin? We need to give MissDD therapies twice a day or more that takes more than 4 hours when added up... if there are no complications. An insulin injection is peachy compared to this... That you don't have prune juice? Well... at least your grocery store is right there, at 5 minutes distance. Ours takes more than 1/2 hour to get there. If we can get there, as we are very homebound. It's all funny... when you see things from the inside of the looking glass, and get to appreciate how mundane life was back at home... so simple, uneventful, day by day that actually was blissful even with all the bothers. So... Family is really funny. Who needs drama? Ours is filled with that and a bit of comedy too.

Hubby tried doing sweet plantain on the weekend, and it came out quite good (amarillo en dulce). Today we gave the Pillsbury muffins a try, but 8 minutes in the microwave oven makes the pieces turn to stone... literally! You can hurt someone with those! LOL So, 4 minutes still leave them in a dangerous state. The perfect time for the muffins is 1 minute. Fill up with orange or grapes or honey and it is a nice dessert.

Today was a busy day, MissDD had an appointment with the physician, and my head was completelly in pain. Tomorrow will be another eventful day... Hope I get some restful sleep.

SHORTS, GAMER, and then some

SHORTS: I really liked this movie. It is very entertaining and fun, love how all the "shorts" were tied together. Of course, it is from Robert Rodriguez... Need I say more?

GAMER: It was ok, eye candy... Another rendition of virtual meets real... The fun world was very much like the Sims gone wrong LOL At least it has been much better than the so called summer blockbusters...

HALLOWEEN2, Rod Zombie version: Ok, so my dear hubby made me watch this piece of s**t. 'nuff said.

I still think that the best movie so far is District 9. I really REALLY liked this movie... Maybe it was the coming out of just watching GIJOE or something...

Besides this... in TV the comedy of the moment is L.A.Ink. The big mistery as of why Aubrey keeps being there is what brings on the drama... pathetic drama but drama nevertheless. The Jon&Kate drama is beyond a joke, and it can only be followed online. The chapters lack charm and are going from bad to worst. The new season of ANTM is ok, but features the same drama stereotypes only that this time the girls really behave as if all were in high-school... The beautiful life comes just after ANTM, so it is a smart hook... and watching models at each other's throats is always fun. Vampire Diaries seem more interesting than Twilight so far... (who knows, maybe the second Twilight movie may change my opinion about it... TEAM JACOB!... Now, where did that came from? Lack of sleep, lack of sleep...).

Last week we watched the complete ROAR tv series (a lonesome Season 1). It was ok... the last chapter kinda was completely out of context, but all in all the series delivered. I really liked the concept of the villain being the 400 year old centurion-mummy looking for the Spear so he could die...

And the week before that we finished watching Carnivale Season2. Finally, I saw the end! But really... the end? Why, why, why? The series was written for 6 seasons... This was a big mistake... All the characters were left with completely loose ends begging for knots. Leaving the Omega resurrecting the evil Father and then Jonesy who may have been hit or not... Oh, that was truly EVIL.

What's New

FAMILY: Well, family and friends gathered on Aug 16th to celebrate my baby girl turning 2 years old. Even if we were not physically in PR, at least we solved part of the dilemma via teleconference. That was fun, and the theme was Wonderpets of course! We really wished we could be back in the isle, to celebrate together so many holidays... Hopefully that will happen sooner than we know...

UNIVERSITY: Taking Web Design2. And only Digital Imaging and Portfolio to actually finish the Web Design diploma. It all ends on December. After that, on to a new project.

JOB: Still hunting. Internships not offering enough... nothing shows up... Hopefully a payed project will appear soon. Cannot complain too much, after all God has provided us with what we need.

LIFE: Sad about being isolated from everyone. Sad that people don't call up more often. Sometimes face-mail is even more important that e-mail, you know? But what can we do... By now we know that here in the US our friends will always be limited to the SMA chat as there is no way to meet anyone else in person... and the so-called family in the US is lost to us. Out of more than 50 nurses, only one has actually opened up. And of all therapists and other professionals, only one goes beyond her duty. Our situation needs support, we have iron will but we also bleed. Things are not as easy or as good or as stable as people may perceive. The only certainty is that we go on thanks to our deep love. As long as we are united, nothing will stop us. God leads the way. We follow.
