Hachiko
I just finished subtitling Hachiko, a sweet story of this amazing dog that waits 10 years for his master. I was brought to serious tears, actually, I had to stop bawling like a baby couple of times.
It might have been hormonal... drama, drama but very touching story and it is based on a true story! In reality ,only dogs can be this loyal!
I am knitting this scarf with a button, a good Xmas gift for my sister-in-law. My brother is arriving on the 20th. I am very excited and looking forward to it.

De-Loved
Seeing Harry Potter in his latest adventures against Voldemort´s dark forces was a bit disappointing.
Half Blood Prince is a pathetic excuse for a franchise that shouldn’t have gone any further after Order of the Phoenix.
Everything in life is a learning curve, but then, we get better at whatever we do, then we excel at it. Self-actualization, exactly like Maslow´s hierarchy of needs predicts .
Harry Potter on the other hand, never excels at any subject at that school of witchcraft and wizardry. Yeah, he did decent at the dark arts, but that was it. My girl, Hermione is much more talented and committed pupil, but Harry is the chosen one! Go figure! The sent message bothers me, I do not believe in predestination.
In every situation, Harry Potter is always in the middle of the action, however, he never pulls it off without external help. I mean, never….
One treat he really has is initiative, but I would love to see him going a mile ahead, without having to be helped by his mates, professors or Dumbledore.
Once more, all hell will break loose in the end (typical of every Harry´s movies), but I am not giving anything away! I am not here to spoil it to anyone. Watch it and you will come up with your conclusions.
My wish to Harry Potter: please grow up and master skills to achieve excellence.
By the way, it was a waste of three hours of my life. I might have broken up with him long time ago…
I forgot to mention Draco Malfoy... What was it with that hair cut ``a la queer´´ for the Almight´s sake.
Fui ver Harry Potter e suas últimas peripécias contra as forças do mau de Voldemort. Bem ruizinho.
Essa franquia não deveria ter ido além da Ordem do Phoenix. Eu acredito que o começo de todo aprendizado é dureza, mas daí, nós melhoramos naquilo que fazemos, e no final, aperfeiçoamos. Auto-realização, exatamente como a hierarquia de necessidades de Maslow prediz.
Por outro lado, Harry Potter nunca se aperfeiçoou em nenhuma matéria naquela escola de magia e bruxaria. Está certo, ele se saiu mais ou menos em magia negra, mas só. Hermione é muito mais talentosa, mas Harry foi o escolhido. A mensagem me incomoda porque eu não acredito em predestinação. Não é uma mensagem positiva e motivadora.
Harry tem estado no meio de tudo, entretanto, ele nunca sai das enrascadas sem ajuda externa. Nunca...
Um talento que ele tem é iniciativa, mas eu adoraria vê-lo sobressair-se sem ajuda dos seus amigos, professores, ou Dumbledore. No final desse filme as bruxas se soltam, mas eu não vou estragar nada para vocês. Vão ver e cheguem a conclusão por vocês mesmos.
Meu desejo para Harry Potter: cresça e desenvolva excelência.
Por falar nisso, foi uma perda de três horas da minha vida que não voltam mais. Talvez seja o fim do namoro (platônico) com Harry de uma vez por todas.
Ah, eu esqueci de mencionar Draco Malfoy... Aquele cabelinho corte à la gay, pelo amor da Santa Virgem...

Mad Cow
Apologies for being so sparse lately. Unable to sit down and write on account of a crazy life. Good news is that I got an office account. I'll be starting next Monday and it's very exciting for me because this has been my dream for many years. Switch from houses to offices.It's definitely much less work and more din din...Besides offices are in general easier to maintain opposed to houses.I'm very pleased to work with British folks. They are excellent people and I crack up laughing with their sense of humor. They make you feel good and they compliment you on every silly detail. They use lots of fantastic, marvelous, tremendous...adjectives are key words!!!They get excited like they have this inner positive energy towards life and people.
Last night we rented Kill Bill Vol.1. Is Quentin Tarantino a mad genius or a crack head? I don't know the answer, but I know one thing, I'm never on any drug when I watch his movies, even though, I love all of them.Even Vol.1's chopping heads and blood-spurting, Hong Kong, kung fu action. Bla, bla, bla...
My ancient history feature is literally H I S T O R Y. I can't make it work...
Stand up -Ludacris
