It's fading fast:.

I didn't plan it that way, but I spent most of the weekend at the Teatro de la Ciudad. On Saturday I went with my family to see the first two episodes of the Trilogía Mexicana project. The first play was about Nezahualcoyotl, it wasn't bad but it could certainly be better. The second one was the reason we were there, it was about Moctezuma II, and we really enjoyed it. It was partly an opera, and the plot was really good, it's a shame its season ended this Sunday.

On Sunday I went with my grandmother to see Jorge Saldaña and Los Panchos, playing songs for the elderly. It was different from what I usually hear, but I liked it, at least for the first two hours!!:.

Both days the audience shouted slogans against the bad government and some even praised for AMLO, it makes you think if we're not that far from social rebellion!!:.


I didn't know things were supposed to be this way
I wasn't told of this before, it's all right.

And now that no one remembers your name:.

It's a shame, but for the second time I have a lame Theory of Computation teacher. I have nothing against him, he seems to be a good guy, it's just that software engineering will never mature into a formal science if we don't start treating it as such, and the fundamentals for this change of mind lays precisely at core concepts of courses like this. Damn it, if we don't take it seriously, who will?:.


You forgot about our little secret,
Oh yes, I want to have it all.

You get what you need:.

Today I saw what could have been a great movie hadn't it been plagued with nonsenses, District 9. The idea is appealing, what would happen if an alien ship were to land in a third world country, and even more, what if the aliens were forced to live in a ghetto for the next 20 years?. The problem is that there are too many inconsistencies in the plot, some situations are just ridiculous and they could certainly use less special effects in favor of more realistic stories. It does have some good action scenes, and it'll help get your mind off for a while, but don't expect anything else:.


You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometimes, well,
You just might find,
You get what you need.

So needless to say:.

I was planning on studying Chinese this semester, but there was a last minute change and now I'm enrolled at Japanese, I'm starting tomorrow!!:.


Say after me,
It's no better to be safe than sorry.

Though the troops were battle dressed:.

Today I finally made it to the gym, I can only hope tomorrow I'll still be able to walk!!:.

I think I'm starting to understand what these proofs are all about. This is the last one before going to bed (should you find any error, please let me know):

Teorema: A x (B – C) = (A x B) – (A x C)

Demostración:
Sea (x, y) cualquier par ordenado del producto cartesiano A x (B – C). Por la definición de producto cartesiano, x ∈ A y y ∈ (B – C). Por la definición de diferencia, y ∈ B, pero y ∉ C. Por la definición de producto cartesiano, (x,y) ∈ (A x B) y (x, y) ∉ (A x C). Por la definición de diferencia, (x, y) ∈ (A x B) – (A x C). Es decir, A x (B – C) = (A x B) – (A x C).


This I studied a few years ago, but even then I didn't fully understood the concepts. As I previously said, this is a chance to redeem myself!!:.



Well there's a riot going on
Student demonstration time.

Tell me off so I can turn off the lights:.

Need a break?:..go visit La Familia del Barrio, simply amazing!!:.


I could tell that you could tell that I was taking my time,
But I was thinking of ways to get you staying the night.

Sunday comes and all the papers say:.

Last Saturday I went with a friend to the Cineteca Nacional. I was hoping I could see one of the films of the German exposition, 'Reprise' sounded particularly good, but it was really crowded, so I'll have to go next weekend:.

I'm struggling with my first homework, but hey, that's what I asked for!!:.


Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
But half asleep?.

domingo, 16 de agosto de 2009

The stranger sang a theme:.

Today me and my grandmother tried a new recipe, Milanesas a la Paprika. They were good, but not so much Paprika-flavored, we shall try again!!:.

Yesterday I saw The Hangover movie, totally worth it if you fancy a good laugh:.


But I can’t seem to recall
When you came along
Ingenue.

Forget but not forgive:.

Good day catching up with an old friend. I should have known better, a family menu is meant for more than two people!!:.

Today I also had my last course for the week, Software Testing and Quality Assurance, and, though the professor seems to be biased against Agile methods, these concepts are fundamental for the development of software engineering into a formal science.


And I could write it down
Or spread it all around,
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea.

Nothing's ever built to last:.

Years ago I took an Algorithms Analysis course, and it always bothered me that I didn't feel like learning at all. It was a combination of a bad teacher and lack of commitment on my part, but the good news are that as of today I'm starting a course on Theory of Computation, I'll redeem myself!!:.


When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try,
Something inside this heart has died.

Esta letra no la protestaré:.

So far I've had good classes at school. I can tell I'm a little bit rusty, but nothing serious. I still have two classes left this week, we'll see how it goes:..

Excellent game against the damn gringos!!:..a month ago I didn't believe in the mexican team, I actually thought that they would be defeated here in the azteca stadium, but I have to admit that for the past two games they've been playing fairly good, and now they've proven me wrong, good for them!!:.


Este pez ya no muere por tu boca,
este loco se va con otra loca,
estos ojos no lloran mas por ti.

En su espacio y en su tiempo:.

I wanted to see what the Twilight hype was all about, so last week I read the first book of the series. It has nothing to do with HP, the plot is way too romantic, it was definitely written for a feminine audience. Nonetheless yesterday I read the second book, and I liked it far more than the first one, though it's still not in HP's league:..

Today I'll attend to my first master course, Uncertainty Systems, AI we meet again!!:.


Fuiste polvo, polvo eres
Piensa que el hierro
Siempre al calor es blando.

The battle will be over:.

For as long as I can remember, every time I came to my grandparents' house I slept in the same bed. It's very soft and I really like it, but the truth is that after using it for some decades, the time has come to change it, so today I went with my parents to buy a new one. This might sound like a little change, but it's the first one in a series of new beginnings for me!!:.

Tomorrow I'll start a new semester...I'm ready!!:.


From that day when we shall lay down our burden,
And study war no more.

How we like to sing along:.

Last Thursday instead of taking a bus I walked my way back home from school. It took me 40 minutes, which is great because several years ago I tried the same thing, but that time it took me a couple hours before I finally got home. This is not something I'm planning on doing on a regular basis, but it's good to know I can do it!!:.


When the days they seem to fall through you,
Well, just let them go.

Un ambiente diferente y la vida por delante:.

Today I finally enrolled at school, though I have to admit that some of the courses I'll be taking were not among my first options. The good part is that I'll be taking classes with one of the best teachers I've ever had, ralozano. Part of the bad news is that I can't help noticing that the reason why there are not many options available is that bferro is no longer here:.

Well, rolling rolling!!:.


Lo intento porque siento,
porque vivo en movimiento.

Si la quieres:.

Today I saw the film that defeated 'Waltz With Bashir' at the Oscars last year. It's Departures, an amazing Japanese movie. I didn't finish it because my grandmother came to watch it with me for like five minutes, and she liked it, so I thought it would be a good idea to share it with my family this weekend.

Later today I went to the Lumiere cinemas to watch Terminator 4, for the second time. I liked it more than I did the first time, though I still think the plot could be better:.


Y me muero al tener que admitir
Que te ves bien con ella.

Y con su aroma me fui embriagando:.

Today we cooked the famous Pescado Empapelado. It's still one of my favourite dishes of all times!!:.

Considering tomorrow it'll only cost 22 pesos to go to the movies, I'm going to watch Terminator 4. I already saw it online, but I'm looking forward to spending more time with my brothers:.


A primera vista supe que era especial,
Y me dejo suspirando.

Lo digo porque quitaste el disco:.

Today I started practicing with the Pinyin representation of the characters I've been studying lately. For this I installed some packages in Ubuntu, and I'm impressed by how comfortable it is to write using this system. I know I need further studying before I can master these radicals, but so far I like the way this is going:.


No te gusta la música?
Sí, mucho.

Sin importarnos como es el final:.

A few weeks ago the Xbox 360 support team refused to fix my machine, forcing my entrance to the dark side!!. Now I'm able to play pirated games, something I had been trying to avoid for a long time. Anyway, this week I completed Gears of War 2, though not in the toughest mode. In general, this is a good game, but I can't help noticing that the story is not as convincing as it should:.

Next week I'll finally enroll at school!!:.


Transformaremos mundos,
Inventaremos mares que cruzar,
Si nos perdemos nada pasará.
